Amunet's Lil Diary

Hey thanks!
Wish I had found the juice sooner. I mean I've always seen it and it's always so bright and attractive heh... but I dunno.. just didn't think it would taste very good.
Sorta like that.. looks good but tastes terrible thing :p


Anywho... had a

Chips Ahoy 100cal Snack Pack= 100calories of course! heh

MAN those things are good! Gives me my chocolate fix and they're just so darn tasty.
I got these other ones as well.. they're like Peanut Butter thin crisp things.. but they're not as great imo.


So gonna blab on a bit.......

I really hope I lose at least 70lbs this time next year or by next Fall.
Bf wants to go to Italy to visit one of his friends and I don't wanna be the "Fat American" there.. ya know?
Also every year we go to the beach and well.. I just don't wanna look at all of those skinny women running around looking great while I'm sitting there feeling out of place.. feeling totally bad about the way I look. I want a nice tan on my body. Not a farmer's tan b/c I'm too afraid to take off my shirt or shorts to show my body in a bathing suit.

Dernit.. I wanna be able to shop on the smaller size racks! I want to buy cute clothes. I hate shopping now b/c it seems like the only clothes that fit me look like they should only be worn by a teacher.. or by the preacher's wife or something :p

And Damnit! When I get married... I want to be a beautiful THIN bride! I want to look back on those pics and think to myself that I looked fantastic. I want my bf to be able to buy me a beautiful ring that isn't a huge size 11 to fit over my sausage link fingers :p lol


I'm an outgoing skinny girl trapped in an overweight shy body.

That WILL change one day though. MMHHMM!!! heh :D
 
WOOT!

I had 1588 calories today (well.. around there at least heh) and it was just awesome!!

I mean there were times when I wanted to just gobble everything down.
But I controlled myself.
If I did get a really bad craving.. I just grabbed one of those 100cal snack pack things (and they are so yummy!).

I think some of why I did get hungry at times and wanted to snack was b/c we ate dinner too early.
We usually eat at around 6.. but ate a bit earlier b/c we thought someone was gonna be coming over later.

Meh.. it's all good though... saw that I have more control than I thought.
I just need to get used to feeling hungry for a while though which is gonna be rough.

Uhm yeah.... hmm.....so that's it heh. :cool:
 
Keep up the awesome job!! I totally agree w/ you on the skinny trapped in fat comment, I've never thought that I was as big as I really am, ya know what I mean?? And then I see pictures...*sigh*

Those 100cal packs are amazing :) I have a whole cupboard full of different stuff- wheat thins, asteroids, fudge grahams, yuuuummmmm. And they do help with the cravings to :)
 
Alrighty... it's Weds and I'm feeling sweaty and gross lol.

I didn't post yesterday b/c well.... truthfully I was feeling guilty b/c I had an off day. Ate about 2000-2500 cal and was feeling pretty bad about it.
I know we're all going to have off days though so that's why I'm back today.
I can't let one, two even 12 slipups get me discouraged b/c they're gonna happen... ya know?

I used to be tha ll or nothing kinda dieter (yeah I watch Dr Phil heh).
Ya know.. I would stick with exercise and eating better. But as soon as I skipped a day or messed up on my eating... I would just pretty much throw my hands in the air and say screw it.. I already messed it all up might as well quit.

But now... I'm not gonna let one or even a few mistakes get me off track.

So.. yeah.. WOO!
 
Ok so I had about 1800 calories today.
More than I wanted but it's still not terrible.
I really need to exercise tomorrow.
I should've did some exercises today but I was just in a lazy mood so didn't :\
GOT to get out of that habit! Habit of sitting at the computer and just doing nothing.
I need to get a new habit of exercising!

Me too!! Last year a friend and I faithfully went to the gym everyday for six months, but didn't change our eating habits, which was dissapointing. I felt good for working out all the time, but hated that nothing was changing. So I basically quit, never to return...lol. Well, I'm back, and we've all done that to, but this time is different, cuz I HAVE changed my eating, and yeah, like ya said, bad days will happen, its practically inevatable(sp?), but I'm gonna keep going, cuz I have a good feeling about "this time". !!! So yeah, little bit of a rant there, but anyways, keep it up :) lol
 
Lol.. rant away! heh

Wish I had the courage to go to a gym, but I'm just too insecure and shy.
*sigh* I hate being this way, but it's not going to change unless I lose some weight. I mean weight's not the entire reason why I'm shy.. but it's a big part of it.


Anywho! doing great today... dernit.. just remembered that I forgot to take my vitamin.
Gonna have to go get that heh.
 
I'm feeling so sick right now and I have no idea why.
Well actually.. think I might be hungry.

So far I've had about 1400-1500 calories today (think more close to 1400 b/c I round up when I count calories)....

But I'm feeling nauseous :confused: When I get really hungry I start feeling that way.. I'm debating if I should eat something or if I should just wait it out and see if the feeling goes away.

Hmmm... I'm leaning more towards eating something though.

Heh.. now just to go find something to munch on that's not too many calories.


Sooo yeah... MAN it's hard trying to keep up with how many calories you're eating. I cook 5days out of the week and now I have to like add up everything I'm putting into the meal.
How much sauce, how many noodles.. how much chicken.. etc etc etc... BLEH! lol

Such a pain in my big rump!

Lol I'm just kidding. I actually love figuring out how many calories I'm eating lol. I love grabbing my little calorie book, finding the food.. weighing/measuring everything and *nods*
I dunno.. I just like doing all that heh.

Now.. I don't actually like how many calories something turns out to be though lol. Gosh.. some things have such a small serving size with a HUGE calorie per....
Don't ya just hate that. And of course it's always the food you just love to eat.
 
Oh yeah.. forgot to say that I exercised yesterday! lol

I wasn't going to... I was ready to just talk myself out of doing it.... just go lay down on the couch and watch tv like I usually do.... but NOPE!

I finally kicked myself in the butt and got on the treadmill for 30minutes.
It's not much but hey.. it's something right? heh
 
Hi Amunet! Just found your diary and wanted to say hello! I am doing a low calorie diet as well. I am trying to stick between 1200 - 1500 calories. I found it works for me if I mix it up a bit. I do a day or two closer to 1200 and then a couple days closer to 1500. I am not sure why it works. Who knows ...maybe its all in my head...but I am sticking with it.

I hate counting the calories though. So tedious!! Its good that you dont mind, cause then you are probably more likely to be very good about figuring it all out.

Congrats on the three pounds you have lost so far. You sound very motivated to stick with it!! Glad you found the forum here. I am sure you will find tons of support and motivation to help you through this weight loss journey!! :)
 
I'm so glad I found these forums as well.
Seems like there are alot of really nice people here with a ton of great advice.

So yeah.. it's getting pretty late, but I'm feeling chatty heh.
So think I'm just gonna babble on a bit while I'm finishing up my juice.


Well today's eating wasn't all that great. I had about 2000-2200 calories today and didn't exercise any.

I didn't mean to have that many calories though.
Fridays is when me and the bf go out to eat with his family.. and I did try to pick something that I thought was better than I usually get.
So I got grilled shrimp alfredo at Chili's.
I even kept myself from finishing off everything on the plate.

Anywho.. I come home.. check my calorie book.. and GEEZE.. according to that book that dish has over 1200 calories!!!! :eek: That just totally floored me. I just couldn't believe that shrimp and pasta would be that much. I guess it's the alfredo sauce though that bumps it up so much.
Live and learn I guess... now I know never to get that dish again lol.. not that I'd be missing much b/c it wasn't all that great heh.
 
Oh yeah.. forgot I want to ramble on some more! lol


Anyone else have a kinda denial about how big you actually are?
Good god I know I do.

I actually kid myself into thinking that I'm not that big. I think that's one of the reasons why I did get this fat. I just denied that I was getting bigger even though I had to keep going up in pants sizes.. even though I started wearing my bf's clothes.

I don't think I really realized how big I was until I saw pictures of myself when my bf and I went to Las Vegas.

And even now.. even after I've seen those pics of myself... I still kinda deny how big I am. *sigh*
 
Hi, there it sounds like you are off to a really great start. You've jumped right into the exercising which is really great. Its always hard to start with takes a while to get your routine happening, but you are doing really well and I am sure you will be succesfull. With your questions, last year when I was with a trainer, she use to start me out with 15mins on the treadmill to warm up then onto the weight training and then back to cardio. Some days she would do both, like I would do so many weights then a couple of mins running up and down the step (hated that) back to the weights and so on (I hated those work outs most lol). So I dont really think it maters to much. But she did tell me that you should eat your meals at least half an hour before working out. And not for 45mins afterwards. Or you are undoing your work because the exercise stimulates your body to burn usaly your fat cells but if you come home and eat then it will feed of the food instead. Anyway, thats just what she told me, hope its helpful. Keep up all the great work.
 
Hey there and thanks for the info!

That's what I heard as well. Don't exercise at least 30min after you've eaten and don't eat for at least 30min after you're done. Or something like that heh.
 
HEy you,
Just popin in :D You did good not eating the whole meal. I heard that it is always good to just eat half your meal while out then take it home the left overs and eat it the next, Something like that. But yeh it's alot of calories......My hubby checked out their calorie info on thier website and nothing is low in the calories.......Only the diet sodas :p But, very happy for ya and tomorrow is another day. Get that exercise in girl....You could do it
 
Welp.. today wasn't all that great eating wise lol.

Actualyl it wasn't bad.. but still not great. I had about 2k calories today. I know that's less than what I used to eat.. but still more than what I want to eat.

If we go over to bf's parent's place tomorrow (well... techinically today).. I'll steal the deep fryer he got them heh.

Don't plan on deepfrying anything heh, but you can use the thing to steam food as well... so yum yum.. steamed veggies! *smacks lips* I can taste them right now. Lil bit of salt and pepper... ooo tasty.


I'm still not really exercising like I should :p . I know.. baby steps and all, I'm just feeling a bit frustrated with myself for not exercising at least a little more.

I really need some new tennis shoes though. MAN the ones I have no are too small for my feet and just about kill me whenever I wear them for too long. That's what I get for being in a hurry and not trying them on heh. Dernit hehe.
 
Good Morning !!!

I hear you on the no exercise part. I have to push myself to do it. Cause I know if I don't I will not see the results I want....... You could do it and like you said "BABY STEPS"........ Have a good one
 
Baby steps is exactly the way to go. Trying to change everything at once could be too much. Changing things a little at a time makes it easier to stick with those changes. :)

Exercising was a hard habit for me to get into. Took me a while to even figure out what type of exercise I would like enough to stick with. For me, its walking on my treadmill. That is about the only form of exercise I like enough to do everyday. (Although, I haven't been able to do for the past week because I have been sick with an upper respirtory thing. blech.)

Hope you find some shoes you like better. I had to buy some better shoes when I started walking. The ones I got are really ugly, but soooo comfortable!! I love them (I just don't look at them when Im exercising. lol)

Keep up the great work! Enjoy eating at your bf's parents house tonight!
 
Lol.... I'm not a shoe gal really so I'd be happy with ugly ones :D hehe
I'm just gonna see if Walmart has any good cheap ones. I'm only going to be using them when I exercise so no point in spending $50+ ya know?

Alrighty... So I'm gonna exercise today!
Think I'm gonna try a little weight training and aerobics stuff.. maybe treadmill too if I'm feeling up to it afterwards.

Honestly... I really DON'T want to.. but I'm going to anyway heh. I can't help but look at exercise as a chore. Hope that changes once I start getting used to it. *crosses fingers*

Just ate so have about 30minutes to waste.... let's go see how everyone else it doing!! WOO! heh :cool:
 
Just had to post really quick before I go exercise....

My eyes are killing me!! They're itching like crazy and I dunno what's causing it.
I mean I'm pretty sure that it's some allergic reaction to something.. but I'm not sure what b/c this has never happened before.
That even possible? To all of a sudden become allergic to something when you weren't before?
Seems like that's what's happened to me.
It started a few months ago, but only with one eye. I'd wake up at night just rubbing my eye to death b/c it itched like crazy.
Now.. both eyes are itching pretty bad and it's driving me insane lol.

I think this is karma getting at me b/c I used to laugh at the people who suffered so much during spring b/c of all the pollen :p heh No really... I didn't laugh at anyone heh... well.. not to their face.......kidding! lol
