Hey, Im reading a book I saw recomended at a great weight loss blog, it is an explanation for how food attracts us so much, im just starting it, but if you would like me to, I can send the pdf file to your mail...Just post it around here...
I think it will make me see that the reason for an inanimated object such as food has such a great control over me!
I having been behaving very well this week, but today I decided that it has to stop, that I have not made such a great effort and then just throw everything away...I have a lot of pressure in my mind regarding the months that it will take for me to lose the weight...But then I thought, dont worry about tomorrow, just about today...SO TODAY, at least TODAY, Im doing my diet perfectly!

Okay, i will have to explain that this weekend has been a little bit difficult for me...yesterday was my 3rd week on my diet...
Im completely an emotional eater, and although all these weeks I have behaved super, yesterday night I ate a lot! I love carbs, so that was basically what I did , hahaha....I was feeling kind of lonely, and just realized that the guy I liked from work is married..
Not that anything happened, but for some reason I thought that I would have a chance with him, hahaha...Anyway, I wasnt feeling great! So today I felt so guilty that I only ate 2 slices of bread on all day (no more carbs!)...Ok, Im not sure how much you are eating, but since I had made a lot of diets throughout my life, saw a couple of nutricionists, I moreless know about them...So if you have any doubts, I will happily help you (plus Im actually a GP haha)...
From the tools on WebMd I can eat 1,200 cals per day, and thats what Im eating and just started seeing some results..
The perfect combination for me is a good diet and cardio exercise...In theory weight lifting is also great, because then you produce muscle (you want everything tight after you lose all the weight) and that muscle burns more calories than fat....
I will write you down what I eat in a regular day:
Before work: 1 small banana
Breakfast at work: Fruit (like 1 cup of anything or a bit more)
1 slice of whole wheat bread Cottage cheese
Lunch: 1 can of tuna (water, not oil) cooked with garlic and tomatoe, delicious! with a 6 inch baguette or 6 crackers....
Some vegetables (steamed, boiled or in a soup)
Before dinner: Any fruit or some low cal cheese
Dinner: 1 big apple with greek yogurt and 6 almonds...
And so thats my day,...what do you think?View Thread

I have been on a diet since 3 weeks now! Im super happy! Each day I feel more confident...I started with 160 pounds (worst weight of my life 190 pounds), now Im at 150...My first goal is going for 130 pounds, later on Ill see...
Weight has been a constant struggle throughtout my life...Although I have never been obese on the Doctors point of view, always been overweight...But I think that it affects me as much as it does for a person that weighs 250-300 pounds..As I could see through some blogs, they have such normal lives, relationships, everything! In my case I think its definetely more a matter of self steem than any other thing...
I am just so tired of trying and trying, accomplishing certain loss, but then gain it back! I think I have hit rock bottom, seeing that my life has not changed, that somehow I continue to be the same shy person I was 15 years ago when I first started gaining weight!
I have postponed so many things because somewhere in my mind I feel that either I dont deserve them or just that Im not willing to take the risk and be dissapointed....
As I told you in the beginning, Im very encouraged this time! But the thing is that sometimes I would just like to see the results right away! Haha...kind of frustating! So I need to remind myself that it took so long for me to be this way...so it will take possibly quite as long to have a comfortable and healthy weight...Perhaps some people feel comfortable with 140 other with 115...It all comes down to your amount of body fat, muscle and all of that...But at the end it is all about selflove and perception...
More than anything what I am looking for is someone that could be a weighting loss buddy as well as an emotional buddy...I am not willing to share my problems with my family or friends because I am so ashamed of what my life is right now...So if anyone is interested please answer this!View Thread


The thing about the first pounds are from water I think it owes to the fact that when we have a proper diet we are not retaining water, whereas a normal (eating a lot) diet has a lot of sodium and other things that make you keep the water in the body...View Thread

I didnt lose any weight compared to the previous week, but im hoping to make a bigger effort for the next week...
