Original Post by crazydiamondchrysalis:

the hardest part is the patience. You are determined now. that is good! keep that with you.. this won't be a quick fix if its going to be permanent.

Realize that it won't be overnight. Make one change at a time. Use the tools on this site!

I know that feeling you are having. I KNOW it. I also know that when I felt it, there was pretty much nothing anyone could say to me, ha. But maybe after reading this (and the others that are sure to follow)... it'll run around in your head for a while and you'll be focused and calm and know that you can trust the process. And as long as you do the plan, you'll see results.

They won't be immediate. But they'll be permanent.

we aren't alone in this. and i have felt those feelings and they suck. but they get quieter every day.

I appreciate the support right now. THIS IS IT! I am so done. I have been doing "okay" for the past few weeks but I haven't been giving it my all like I should

After taking this ID picture, I am so ready. I just want the weight gone. And I have a way to go before I look the way I did 3 years ago. But I am so determined. I'm at the point where nothing will stop me. I am so willing to do any and everything. After I get off the computer I am going to the grocery market to buy my diet food and stick with it.

It's defintely the weight. At first all the weight was just on my body and my face wasn't so chubby, now it has traveled to my face and I have these big chubby cheeks and ugh...I just really hate myself right now.

Yes, I am older, 3 years older since the last ID I took where I looked fine. Two years ago when I was slimmer I took a decent ID as well. It's mostly the weight. I am so distraught. I just want to bury myself in a hole and never come out

Count me in too. My biggest prob is carbs carbs and more carbs. Rice, Bread, fried snacks.Any on else has the problem with carbs too. BTw I am Indian and all the spicy Indian food is what I crave and what's got into my weight problem. Starts with 1 cup of rice and more and more. I used to think that I am the only one with loss of control or I have some kind of food addiction.

 

Do you eat spicy rice? I aboslutely love rice that is very spicy and hot. I had a African friend who used to make the most delicious spicy sauces and she poured it all over some white fluffy rice. I NEVER got sick of it. I could eat it everyday

those weigh-tatchers boxes of brownies are EVIL!  I bet they put those on the market so we would eat the entire box thus gaining weight thus having to go back onto WW just to eat the whole box again.  Vicious cycles are so money-making!!

this is me:  grocery store + brownies + car= caloric ride home....

 when I first tried them I wasn't expectin for them to taste THAT good. i thought they were going to have a funny aftertaste that will make you eat just enough. boy o boy those things are the real deal. i heat them up, and they taste so delicious, it's so fudgey and chocolate it's like a dream. I swear I haven't had a cake that good in a long time

With the portion sized snacks I'd probably end up going through the whole box..especially the oreo cookies! Yummy! I tend to leave those alone they taste too good

I snack on nuts, of any kind, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, peanuts. I notice it doesn't hinder my weight loss .

 

Popcorn is so-so. Depends on what's on it. It would have to be the plain lightly buttered kind. No carmel, or heavily seasoned kind

People have a strange way of defining what weight loss methods "work."

In my opinion, if you gain it back within 6 months, it didn't work in the first place.[/quote]

 

That's with any diet, even the most healthiest ones. If you go back to your old habits than the weight will come back.

But I personally would not recommend the MasterCleanse,  it's not a lifestyle diet

I guess I'm different because when I lose weight I feel happy! I feel so good that I was disciplined enough to stick to my diet and lose all the weight. I feel finally free. I can now walk into any store and buy things off of the sales rack. I am a real knockout when I am tiny though. Have men stopping them in their tracks!

Weight Loss i don't care about being healthy i want to lose weight quickly... May 14 2009

i'm the same way.

 

Although I can naturally  lose weight pretty fast when i want to. And I've never been flabby, don't know what everyone else is talking about, naturally I'm pretty toned. if you are obese, then becoming flabby when thinner might be a concern. But for someone like me who wants to lose some vanity lbs, I won't be flabby if I drop a lot of weight in a short period of time. I've done it before and was very toned naturally

I had no idea my shoulders were "broad" until my mother pointed it out to me. Now that is all I see, and I try my best to try to hide it. Even though in some outfits its kinda hard. Wearing my hair very very long helps to conceal it

Weight Loss Stuff About Weight Loss That Bugs Me Mar 09 2009

I've had people make very rude remarks about eating healthy. I was very thin, around a size 6, and I wanted to maintain my weight by eating healthy snacks. On my lunch break, when I would go up to the cashier, they would always look at the food I was buying and saying, "why are you buying health snacks? why are you buying low sugar juice? you are so skinny you don't need this stuff"

then the cashier would yell over the next register at the other cashier and say, "look how thin this girl is and she's buying wheat snacks. she needs to go over to mcdonald's and buy a big mac"

both cashiers laughing and telling me I need to eat in unison.

At work I became the skinny girl who was weight conscious and ate nasty healthy food during lunch. It was so annoying

Quaker's have rice cakes, they come in cheese, carmel (my favorite) and other flavors. It doesn't put the weight on for me at all. I know someone is probably gonna come out and say well, those rice cakes have (insert whatever unhealthy thing it is) but it works for my body, it's a helluva lot better than snacking on snickers and reese cups all day

Weight Loss GOING for ATKINS Mar 03 2009

I'm back on Atkins again. It's the only diet that works for me. Yes, I know I gained the weight back but that's because I was eating the wrong foods and stopped exercising. This can happen with any diet lifestyle.

Moderation just does not work for me. If I eat some crackers, I want the whole box or I end up eating way too many. That's just how I am. At least with Atkins I can eat as many chicken nuggets, meat and vegetables as I want until I am content. And I also eat rice cakes which doesn't affect my weight loss. Sorry, but the whole "you can eat a slice of cake but only eat a small portion" has NEVER worked for me even as a kid. If I eat a small slice of cake, I'm going to watn seconds, no amount of willpower will stop me. The only way that I can lose weight is unless I eliminate all sweets, and unhealthy foods from my diet period.

Everyone has a negative opinion of  Atkins but it's not as bad as you think it is. You can incorporate fruits and vegetables.

I had a friend who was thin, she was a endomorph, and I felt that I looked so fat and wide standing next to her. I thought I looked less normal. I am very curvy, and one guy asked me if she was my daughter. Yikes! And he had only seen the both of us from behind.  I am in my early 20s and have a babyface, I don't know why he would think that.It's like ppl think you are younger than what you are when you have a very petite frame
