| Binging HELP!!!!! |
[Dec. 30th, 2009|12:50 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  uncomfortable | ] |
I just have to start out by saying that this is probably the best and most helpful community I have found on Live Journal... everyone is so willing to help and so amazing in giving advice and I just have to say that I love you all for it!! Thank you guys so much so far as you have helped me out so much!!!
I know that I just posted on how to keep my hunger at bay, and the advice was awesome.. and I know.. drink tons of water lol. I have to up my intake dramatically, I know... now my other question is how do I keep from binging? I have a good idea how to keep myself from being hungy, but I am having an issue with just sitting down and mindless eating.. I know that it is because I am bored.. anyone else have this problem or am I alone in the boredom binging? Anyone have any ideas as to keep myself from doing it? I have recently taken up knitting, but finished my project and now not sure what to do... Thank you guys again for all the help! |

So I know that I said I was starting my diet yesterday, and I did really well with it, until around 7:00 at work and I started getting really starving, and ate a cookie, and a few Lindt chocolates, and some vanilla wafers. Today.. I went shopping and bought some pretty healthy things, obviously in moderation and have been really binging all day. I don'tknow how to keep myself from being hungry... How do I keep myself from being hungry? Any suggestions to curb my appetite???

| Day 1 |

It is day one of my new look on life. I really don't know what to think because it is only half way through my day, and so far I have kept myself from binging like I usually do. I have started the weight watchers plan again because I did pretty well on it before and it is a healthy way to lose weight. I keep going back in my head to just stop eating all together and just keep things from going in my mouth to be able to lose weight, but it turns out that is how I have gained so much in the past few months because I stop eating for a bit and then binge and my body just holds on to it more than before. So weight watchers is all about portion control and making better choices so I hope I am successful.
But like I said, it is only half way through the day and it is hard to keep myself from going to the pantry and thinking "Oh that would be so great, and its a new bag so I can eat the entire thing!" That is disgusting but that is what I am thinking. I have kept myself from doing that so far today and am pretty proud of myself so far. My parents just went shopping yesterday so there is a ton of food sitting in there that I would love to munch on. I am also trying to increase my intake of fluids to keep myself from getting too hungry and just binging.
I had gone shopping with my boyfriend the other day and had been trying on clothes to buy with my Christmas money and it is hard because there are some things in Large that dont fit and then I can't buy pants in half of the stores that I absolutely love because my ass is too big. I am not borderline pant size 16 and that just makes me want to cry. I am really hoping I can stick with this diet so that I can just get on with my life in a healthy way and wear the clothes that I love to wear and look good in them and actually be comfortable in my body. So I am really hoping that I can get down to the single digits in pant sizes by summer time. I don't know if that is a big or unrealistic goal but I am going to try my hardest.
I have also decided to not start exercising until next week and get this diet under control and my full attention. I have noticed that after a week I feel a little easier in controlling myself with food if I can follow my diet for a week. I usually dont even make it the first day, but today I feel good, I feel like I can do it. I know I can do it.
Today's weight: 208.6
Lbs. to go: 93.6 |

| Detox |
[Dec. 28th, 2009|10:22 pm] |
My roomate and I have been thinking about doing a 7 day detox at the beginning of the new year, and I am just curious what experiences others have had with detoxing. Have any of you detoxed? How did you do it? Would you recommend it?
Thanks for your time everyone ^-^ |

Hey everyone!
So today I reach my 1 year mark of my weight loss... I started 1 year ago today working out at my gym. I'm down about 70 lbs. I feel great and have gained so much confidence! With the new year coming, I hope to lose even more weight! I still have about 100 lbs to lose. (I cant believe I had to lose 170 lbs 0.0 one year ago today. and still have 100 more to go! sighh)
anyway, to those of you who are just starting out, it gets easier! Just stick with it. It'll all be worth it.
With the holidays, ive allowed myself to slack off quite a bit. Starting after New Years, I'm getting my butt back in gear 100%. I got a Wii Fit for Christmas and it's awesome!!! That + the gym should kick it up more.
Anyway, just wanted to thank everyone for the support! Keep it up, everyone!
Happy New Year! |

.... yet again.
But is it really starting over? It's not like I went back to eating at McDonald's every day before heading to work. No. I go to the grocery store get a chicken wrap, some veggies and dip, maybe a yogurt parfait and a chicken blt salad. That has to last me 8 hours at work. I'll also stop at Tim Hortons and get a muffin and tea and maybe a bagel depending on how starving I am.
So maybe I'm just picking up where I left off? Or is it more of a 1 step forward 2 steps back kind of thing? Who knows? What I do know is that I'm saying good-bye to 2009 and welcoming 2010 with a glass of skim milk instead of the beer that I really want to have. And I mean I really want to have it. I have five bottles of Bud Light in the fridge. I can hear them now calling my name. I'm sorry Bud Light. I know we're friends, and you've always been good to me, never giving me hangovers or making me a gross drunk that you make some people. Thank you for that, but our relationship must come to an end, for now at least. Until I get myself in order.
So that's the plan. Get myself in order. Mentally, emotionally, and physically.
I want to read more. More books, more newspapers. Less rag mags and gossip sites.
I want to learn what makes me happy. What makes me sad. What makes me mad. Avoid negative people and try to be positive.
I want to be able to play with my niece and nephew without breaking a sweat within 5 minutes. I want my back not to hurt all the time from my boobs (and since boobs are mainly fat....). I want to be healthy.
So, I'm going to try and do this again. Write here often. If you're reading this,
hi.
I'm Samantha.
I'm 308lbs.
Here we go again lol.

hi everyone!
i've been lurking here for a while but never posted...
i guess i'm supposed to post stats first, right?
i'm 21 years old, 5'1" and just around 200 pounds. i want to start the new year off by being healthier and making promises to myself that i can keep.
to get an early start, i've decided this morning that i no longer want to drink soda.
i guess it's the little stepping stones that will get you to where you need to be. :)
happy new years, everyone! |

So I have decided two things for the New Year, if I find the battery charger for my camera I am starting over with my 365 Photo Project. Christen Inspired me this year and hopefully I may be able to inspire someone else in the New Year to pay it forward. I learned, laughed and cried all while watching her change not only physically, but mentally, emotionally and so much more.
Doing this photo project coincides with me starting on a real diet and fitness plan...I don't know how much weight I want to loose, and there is a reason why. When I set a numerical goal, I always sabotage myself and fail. So instead I am setting small, NSV's. And as I reach one I will mark it off, and move on to another. If I finish the initial list, there will be a re-evaluated supplementary list to go with it.
I'm building this around the life I lead, and the things that are important to me. Small victories, equal HUGE sucesses for me! So I'm working with that and hoping for the best...I will need each and everyone of you for encouragement, and maybe even a good swift kick in the ass when I let my life get in the way of taking care of myself.
So the list I am making now is for my benefit to be ready 1-1-10 to release the LIST!
1. Find camera charger
2. Get a functional scale (mine bit it)
3. Download music for the iPod (any suggestions for that would be greatly appreciated)
4. Clean up this stye of a house, so that I get get an appropriate balance of groceries in here
I say it all the time that I am going to do this...and I never do. But this time I have too!
I have many personal reason why I do and do not want to do this... but its not an option anymore. I WILL DIE IF I DON'T FIX THIS! The doctor has confirmed and I am afraid. A friend of mine (who just turned 33) had a heart attack last week. It scared the holy Christ out of me!
So if anyone has any tips, tricks, or words of encouragement......I would love to hear it!
Add me here to follow my journey if you would like.....I hope to make many more friends through this and to cultivate the relationships I have already made..
Best,
Erin |

I'm planning a bachelorette party on the east-ish side of Phoenix, but I'm planning from up in Oregon. I know there's the old standby of "rent a limo, go down Mill, end up at a hotel," but I feel like everyone did that for their 21st birthday, and I'd love to shake it up a little bit. I know the bride loves that piano bar on Mill, but I don't know if it's still around, or anything. Are there any neat places you can think of that you'd go for a bachelorette party?
Everyone invited, save one, is over 21. I'd love to do a pre-drinking dinner with her, so if you have some suggestions for dinner beforehand, that'd be awesome, too.
Thank you guys so much. I haven't lived in Phoenix since right after I turned 18, so making plans for a grown-up night is a bit dicey. |

| Our holiday commitment to our bodies and goals! Celebrating Exercise! |
[Dec. 24th, 2009|07:54 am] |
A quote that I take to heart is this: "Its not about motivation. Its not about inspiration. Its about commitment. A commitment to yourself and a goal." And the mantra I have that goes hand-in-hand with that quote: "I'm worth it." We are all worth it, even during the busy holidays. So here is our holiday check in for X-mas eve and X-mas day, lets give ourselves and those we love a healthier us (you and me). Even for those of us that do not celebrate these specific holidays, we all feel the outside stressors and can get sucked into the the busy time-warp of rushed shopping, travel, and celebrations (and large meals? lol).
What did you do today to give yourself a healthier you?
( Today, I got up at 5am and... )
Happy Holidays! Happy Belated Yule! |

| AZ Clubs - Best Music? |
[Dec. 24th, 2009|02:08 am] |
Hoi! Coulc any of you fine ladies and/or gentlemen please recommend a fine, fly, and whizbang hip club that plays some good music? Tempe/Scottsdale/Phoenix
"Good Music" in a club atmosphere being, imho, something other than top 40's and overplayed hip-hop/pop. Techno, disco, house, scene music (bloc party, de de mouse, etc). Dancible is the (made up) key word!
Thank you and happy holiday stuff ;-) |

Hello again.
My sister called me tonight and her cat ran away. This is dire. He just came back from vet for a torn scrotum. He has several stitches and needs antibiotics, shouldn't be running around, and should be inside for a week.
Pollie is an orange tabby with a cone on. A fairly small cat about 9 pounds. He is very skittish and not used to new people at all. He is an outside cat and can fend for himself we are just worried his cone will get caught on something and he could choke.
He ran out of the house on 11th street and McKemmy in Tempe. He might roam pretty far. If anyone sees anything please let me know via comment or email at jamie.whoah @ gmail.com |

Does anyone have a full-size box springs in good condition that they want to sell for cheap? Also maybe that you can deliver for an extra fee? I've been checking craigslist but no one ever replies.
Thanks :)
EDIT: Found one! |
