Stick a fork in me....Oct 30 2008 06:39
I'm DONE!!!
Someone once said that only idiot does the same thing over and over again and expects a different result. Of course, I'm paraphrasing here, because I'm too angry to go find the actual quote.
Despite a statement to friends that I wasn't going to do it, I got on the scale this morning, only to discover that I've been merrily rolling along for the last 5 months WASTING MY TIME!!! That's right, back over 200 I go. Despite counting, measuring, skimping, sweating, lifting and apparently a little gloating, I've gotten NOWHERE. Matter of fact, I've gone backwards in a pretty big way. Guess that would explain the stretch marks starting to appear on my legs.
So, barring some pretty serious pep talks, I'm through. It simply is not worth starving, and spending half an hour every morning cutting up good food, and spending every evening working out instead of enjoying my life. All I wanted was 1 pound a month off. Didn't think that was too much to ask. But instead, it just starts packing back on. Talk about an eye opener!
So, with that, I'll likely be saying goodbye. No sense continuing to waste my time on this!
Wrote in Group... Don't 'cha DARE quit!!! I'll come GET YOU!!! Re-evalute Honestly what your in-and-out are... the eat-back cals and estimates we figure are ok, can be too high for us... time tells... metabolism differs with each of us... A Nutritionist said 1200-1400 for me, with exercise...! Take a break, but don't give up!!! I just get bigger each year... can't handle that! I've Gotta' figure what will work to get it off and keep it off... I want to see your Success, too!!! |
Maybe you haven't been eating enough! I gain weight when I cut back too far! Oy vey! Don't give up... or at least, don't leave us! We luff yoo. |
You know, it's sad... posts like this are nothing but pleas for attention! I'm ashamed for falling in the trap that I scoff at others for using. However... it's nice to know that someone cares!!! |
I think if you need attention, then you damn well better say so! Better than the passive-aggressive BS some people pull. Nothing wrong with wanting attention. We ALL want attention... unless one is seriously paranoid or is phobic of human beings. We luff yoo! So, we will pay attention! |
Me, too!!! Luff yoo!!! Luff that saying-- new one for me. I totally agree, as well-- we all NEED attention in reasonable, regular doses!!! Your turn is well due by my reckoning... I ain't fergot how frustratin' it must be for you when ya' can't even get decent produce there in Guam-- you've already had ta' be tough to work around that handicap! |
Hello Friend, Nice to hear from you again, but sorry to hear you are frustrated. I totally understand... as you know, I gained back too. You are not wasting your time. If you are working out and eating healthy food, you are 3/4 of the way there. Sounds like you should do some caloric analysis. You might be under eating or over eating. Please don't go... |
