Back on the downward trend.
Okay, so this morning I was down to 237 (see “Tracking Goals” section of this site) and I’m still wondering how I’m doing it.
I haven’t gotten back to the gym yet, and maybe I’ve been eating less often (though nowhere near the quality of food I should be eating) and since the breakup, I’m a lot less active (back to that damn sedentary lifestyle I was in before).
I think my mental attitudes and addictions toward food have changed or something. I mean, I was never really a comfort-eater, or a nervous eater, or an emotional eater of any kind. And I was always afraid that somehow I would be.
But it seems as though when I’m really happy (like when I was dating the ex) or really upset (like since he broke it off), I tend to really lose my appetite. Most people get “happy fat” when they get in a relationship (he did) but I don’t. Most people turn to food for comfort when they’re sad or depressed, and I didn’t do that either. Not that I ever really have, but you’d think that I’d be a size 0 at this point in my life, being that when I’m really happy or really sad, I lose weight!
I need to get my insurance cards and get to the gym for that 50% discount. I know myself, and I can eat whatever I want, but as long as I’m going to the gym, I can lose. I need to do that! I’ll be able to afford it now, and it’s just so much more worth it when you know you’re actually doing the WORK to lose the weight I think.
It’s just so STRANGE…

Keep up the good work. I just found your blog and I like what I’m reading…I’m slowly losing weight myself and it’s nice to hear that others are going through the same thing.
Good for you dude. I am stuck at the same weight for weeks now, still working out, but totally unable to control what I eat. It’s good to hear you are being sucessful.
Grace - Thanks! I wish I could say that I’m busting my butt to do this, but it’s really just me being emotional and NOT eating…
Izzy - “dude”? Since when, in your eyes, have I ever been considered a DUDE!? LOL
I have to keep reminding myself to eat, and when I do, it’s not that I’m eating anything healthy, I’m just not hungry or I get full too quick.
The other morning I grabbed some Dunkin’ Donuts… I had a blueberry muffin. I ate the top off the muffin and that’s it. I couldn’t finish it, even though it was all soft and sweet and yummy. I just had no desire to finish it. (Though this doesn’t mean I didn’t chow down on some McD’s later on… it comes and goes, depending on how hungry my body truly is I guess.)
Found you site through Entrecard a few days ago and just now had time to sit down and read it. Keep up the good work! I have finally started to loose weight (one lb at a time…) I gain weight watching the FoodNetwork, even if I don’t cook what I see. Weight loss is just a day to day battle.
LOL Mandy - thanks for stopping in and letting me know how you found me!
I too am taking it day by day. I have to say that when I’m active (off my duff, away from the computer) it’s a LOT easier!
Just wanted to say good luck to you, I need to lose around 50lbs, but I have no motivation to do so either.
