I've been cold since I started losing weight ... then again, I was always hot before. I'm chalking it up to having lost over 40 pounds that used to keep me warm ...
I'm sleeping in sweatpants n a sweatshirt when I used to be in a t-shirt n shorts every night ... yuck. |

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I've got some cantaloupe, bananas, plums, n sugar-free jello on the ready.
And kkmc ... I'm only using the Mexican food as motivation because I've been craving it for the last 2 weeks n haven't let myself give in. I figure if I can be good for this long, I deserve it, as long as I don't go overboard. |

| Hmm, I hadn't thought about that ... my protein usually IS pretty low, actually. | |||
| Motivation | why am i gaining??!! | Oct 25 2006 19:27 (UTC) |

| Did you just start the exercise? It's very possible that the gained weight is from the added muscle ... Muscle weighs more than fat. | |||

Week 7, Part 8
Holidays are spent eating ... in my family anyway. I'm going to enjoy myself, not count calories, but also not overindulge TOO much. JUST eat til I get full, not til I'm stuffed like I would normally do on holidays. I'm also not going to pass up the desserts, however, considering I'll be the one baking probably 70% of them. I think it's time for some new recipes for our holiday desserts though ... something I can eat and enjoy with lower calories that everyone else will like, too. This unstructured eating will be ONLY on the actual holidays themselves ... Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Years Eve ... NOT on the days leading up to them. And pffft, Halloween doesn't matter, I'll go to class, come back to my apartment, avoid the candy, n sit down with a few scary movies, eating only what I have planned for the day. If I go over on calories (and I probably will), so what? ... it's only a few days a year, it's not like I'm going back to my old habits forever. |

| The thing is, I wasn't very hungry, but I take pills in the morning and cannot take them on an empty stomach ... I figured fruit would be the best way to go to add just enough to my stomach to be able to handle the meds. Apparently not. | |||

Week 6, Part 7: Before calorie-count, I was a chronic binge eater. I ate whatever crap-foods I wanted, when I wanted ... without thought to the consequences. I also had more stress than I could handle, and wasn't getting enough sleep. The stress has not gone away, nor has the lack of sleep (there are just NOT enough hours in the day to do everything that needs to be done), but I HAVE focused more on my eating and exercise habits. When I was still in my early teens, I was told I had high cholesterol and I was too overweight for my age ... by my doctor. It took years, and moving out on my own for a real lifestyle change to come along ... I needed to get away from my old habits to really break them. Since then, my cholesterol is lower, and I'm more than 40 pounds lighter than I was. Where I was once winded walking somewhere, I can run that same distance and I'm fine. I know that if I contninued the way I was going, I would have massive blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart problems, with a possibility of diabetes in my near future. I owe a lot to calorie-count.com for helping me change my life for the better. |

I agree, I don't think that the quote itself is enough to really submit ... perhaps the quote plus one or two sentences from EACH of us ...?
Henry Ford summed it up best when he said: "Whether you think that you can or that you can't, you are usually right." Your attitude will make all the difference in this journey!! You are doing this for yourself, not for anyone else; you are important and you deserve to be healthy and happy. You have the power within yourself to accomplish your goals, all you need to do is believe in yourself. If you are confident that you can - you will. |
