My Online Weight Journal - comments welcome

If you're consistently starving you might want to up your total calorie limit. (Is your stomach growling etc? Or is this more of a psychological need to eat?)

Perhaps that's why I am the way I am! LOL Seriously, though thanks. And it's not that I'm not doing it for me, but there have been people who have gone above and beyond to help me, so I dont' want to let them down.

Wendy, I really can relate to what you going through.
I started routinely on my diet and exercise originally not because I am a discipline gal & I am vain. Well, I DO want to look good (who doesn't) but I didn't have enough internal-push to start and keep at it. I was not a girlie girl who concern about make up, fashion etc. Not before.
What do I have? A superficial of a husband who relentlessly pointing out OTHER girls who has thinner thighs, skinny, dress better, look better, etc etc etc. Where you think my self esteem and self confidence gone? Down the freakin' hell. And to say that once you got married your spouse would accept you for who you are? Hah. :mad: not in my case. It didn't start this way. But people change. They do, we all do, for better or worse. :eek:

Well, to summarize things, (sorry didn't mean to hijack your thread) I DID this for OTHER in the beginning. Then it changed. I CHANGED. I now DO this for MYSELF. My motivation for the turn-about is not a very inspiring one and I rarely admit it openly. And once it switched, I become the sole driver on this ride. It is liberating and just feels natural to keep it up and continue on. Not like before, not with the burden of what others will judge of me. My advice to you is to Focus on yourself. In the end, you will not let anyone down but YOUrself. ;)

We each got our own 'struggle' :) But I wanna let you know that your hard work is one of my inspiration to push on ahead. Keep it up, I know you can do it. ;)
 
It's not growling, but I know I'm really hungry. I'm going to have green beans right now and some water. Then I'm going to chew some gum in hopes of getting me thru. I may have a roll or two at dinner to help fill me up. I had a buttload of venison last night and broccoli and I was still hungry an hr and half later. But, I plugged in dinner already and my protein kicks ass! Check it out!

K: thank u so much! Got a tissue?? LOL That was really sweet. Thank you for giving me your perspective. :) ((HUGS)) We can do this together!

Another thing I want to say is taht I'm suddenly obsessed at seeing how low I can get my carbs and fat and how high I can get my protein. IT's like a game now. I am hoping that this will keep me on the straight and narrow.

Cool! I can't wait to see your progress in this! ;) Any %-age idea or benchmark you going to base this on?
Coz I am also thinking that it is time to start learning to eat better in terms of the balance (protein-carb-fat) and such, to kick up the BF% reduction and not just about weight.
Good luck! :D

I wish I could get my %'s to even out. My fat and protein is usually good but my carbs is still high. I'll just have to still figure it out and play around with it.

I think the percentages should be 40/30/30 (carbs/proteins/fats). And you're right - BF% is a much better indicator of how you're doing than just the weight.

would it be bad if fat drop below 30? :confused: & compensate it with more protein or carb?
 
That I wouldn't know - you could try it and see how your body reacts, but it DOES need a certain level of healthy fats to keep it functioning efficiently.
 
Well, I had dinner....I ended up not eating all of the chicken I had...good for cals, not great for %ages. I now have more fat than protein. Ugh. Tomorrow is another day, though. I saved some of the chicken for tomorrow's snack. I hope I can do it again tomorrow. I am proud of myself for sticking to it! :)

Most people see the best results with 40/30/30. Any lower on any of those and it tends to backfire and you'll end up in a binge somewhere

*clap* :) Still good, girl!
 
I've already had a good amt of my cals for the day and my carbs are off the charts, but I have had more protein than fats today, so that's good. :D
 
Thanks. I feel really good about my chouces as of late. Although, I'm still wondering what to have this Cheeseless Tuesday for dinner. The kids are going to have grilled cheese sandwhiches....wth am I going to have?? lol
 
Have a turkey sandwich, minus the cheese, but keep the lettuce. Have the Stingo special...:eek: There are lots of choices out there without having cheese in it.
 
LOL..I know they're not fun, but you can incorporate a cheat meal tonight. That's another idea and they are fun.
