Long Distance Friendships :-(

Oh I know, very unhealthy, but I didn't care because I didn't want to be fat.
Like, I didn't have an eating disorder.. but I ALWAYS thought I needed to lose weight.
Even when I was 128 I wanted to lose more, but my doctor told me I was underweight and I shouldn't.
I never believed her so I tried really hard to stay at that weight, even though whenever I'd see my stomach it'd make me sick.

I'm not really like that now too much, because my boyfriend has made me fat.. but I do wish I could lose some of my "chub" and I do sometimes get grossed out just by looking at myself.

LOL No Danielle.. it wasn't for you

Muffins

Nicola.. Don't laugh! I'm serious! If you don't listen to my advice you won't be happy by the time your fully grown

Danielle... Nope! You don't look like 162 at all to me! In fact, when I saw your picture yesterday, I said 'Hmmpf! Why was she complaining about being chubby?"

People don't usually believe me when I say how much I weigh. Then they say "You must be heavy boned then". I am kind of big boned actually, I have broad shoulders. My father.. butthead that he was, said I could be a football player with my shoulders

But lately, I'm starting to actually look my weight.. which is when all the alarm bells go off in my head.

I don't like whole wheat

And I don't like exercise.... and it's actually hard for me to loose any weight. My down to 135 diet was an eating only every other day diet! Which isen't in the least bit healthy

And I could never manage it again.

I used to do the eat only once a day diet and only eat maybe a cup of food..
Plus I smoked.

If I had a treadmill, I'd run on it everyday.
I absolutely love treadmills!
Hate doing crunches though, even though I definitely could do them. I used to..


Hey guys...
Wanna help me buy a treadmill?



Pwease?!?!

I'm average-boned.

I do know that my butt has gotten bigger.
It's the main reason I can't fit into my size 3's anymore.

If you have a dog, you could go for a run with them

Oooh zumba sounds fun

Maybe if we are living near... we can encourage each other in some kind of exercise? I get so booooored on machines though... and my mind keeps going back to working on the horse farm... I had strong arms then!

I get ovarian cysts. A lot as a teen. They used absorbed on their own. One time it wasn't a cyst, but a twisted fallopian tube on the right, it had to be removed. then a few years later, the left ovary got multiple cysts, and so it was removed.

I still get them on the right. The current one is resolving on its own now, two years later!!
I have the weight gain, mostly belly, tired, always hungry.
Recently, my blood work came back showing my glucose level is climbing, my liver is in distress.
Even my LDL is climbing.

In the past my blood work was always perfect.

Anyhoo, I am now on Vitamin B12 drops, and three different supplements for sugar metabolism support, adrenal support.

It is the sugar in my diet. I am to eat 2/3 plate veggies and 1/3 meat, portions in a fist size and drink 1/2 my weight in water.
Like if you weigh 162 lbs, that would be 81 oz water.
I was also dehydrated.
After just one week, I am starting to feel better. I haven't taken a nap all week!!

I weigh more than 162

Oh, and exercise, like walk for 20 minutes at a time.
Although my job is physical and I am on my feet all day and do lots of lifting, that is not the right kind of exercise.

Oh.. Thank you for sharing Ibpboo. I'm sorry that you had all those complications

Looking back... Do you think switching to that kind of diet would have helped things? Because I might need some strong motivation to eat so many vegetables

And was happens to my Shirley temples and Hot fudge Sundaes?

*sniff*
