| Weight Loss | Something I noticed | Dec 31 2007 20:28 (UTC) |

| i wrote sometime back about a friend of mine who was in the classic denial that she is gaining weight on thin air, while consuming huge portions of ice creams and cakes all the time. I have finally been able to talk to her about it, i know i felt like i was being condenscending, but i really did it just to help. i copied my cd of BIGGEST LOSER part 1....the exercises are really good, and i have been doing all 4 portions, 2 hours in total for the last 2 months now, with amazing results.
she is still not ready to take time out for herself for exercise and is now borderline obese. i know i can't go 40 miles everyday to go jog with her, but am trying to remind her every 4 days of our mutual promise to exercise and get a sad sort of 'yes i will someday'. well, here's my new year wish. i wish i had the strength to wish for myself, but i know i can do it. i will wish for my dear friend and hope that she makes little changes in her life and starts seeing the difference that i have seen with exercise. i hope next year at the new year's party, she's hot and her husband has no way to ridicule her in front of the rest of us. and i hope she finds enough confidence to never put her interests and her own health on the back burner. |

| Weight Loss | An Apology Letter to my Body | Oct 24 2007 17:15 (UTC) |

awwww! this was so sweet. i suddenly feel ashamed of all the times i have hated my body in the last one year and its always treated me so well. So here goes..... Dear Body, You are no different from me. I exist because you are healthy. I know after a year of binging and gaining what you mean to me. Your good health and effective fucntioning is all i will ever strive for henceforth. If i go jogging, it will now be because i want to have a stronger heart and be independent in my old age. If i lift weights, it will now be because i want good stong arms and shoulders to play with my kids and grandkids. And i specially love u tummy....cause i know u are a little more round that I always wanted u to be, but my man loves u just the way you are. And i love u for that. I will no longer insult you by screaming at the scales and feeling depressed. I will no longer indulge in stupid diets and screw up the discipline on my workouts. I will behave myself and not expect you to work wonders when i dont want to work at all. Most of all, i will stop giving excuses about u to everyone i see and meet. u are such an integral part of me and i love u. just the way u are. here's to a better relationship -meeta |

i agree with u gracie. i gained about 40 lbs on oral contraceptives and have been able to lose half of it. Got 20 more pounds to go!! my friend who gained about 60lbs after her pregnancy refuses to acknowledge the fact that her fridge is stuffed with very lethal stuff. not only is it bad for her munching out of those large ice cream tubs all the time (since she's already overweight), she has all sorts of ready-to-eat stuff. i am yet to see fresh veggies or fruit in her fridge. her husband mocks her weight n has been paying me compliments abt my weight loss. i am a little sad about that as i can see her cringing in a corner and heading for the fridge. i am really fond of this girl and every time i try to talk to her abt her grocery list, she gets defensive and tells me its all for her family. she doesnt eat a bite of it. (not true, when i bake cakes for someone's bday, i can see her going to the cake all the time and nibbling it little by little...its the same case with other high calorie foods). she has to go meet her in laws next year in may and she is super stressed about going there with her weight. she wants to be accepted and wants to feel confident. i really feel like helping her, but the denial is a big problem. wish i cud just do an intervention!! |
