Well, don't forget to start adding in exercise soonish. Because, see, you've got an opportunity here.
Fat people tend to be remarkably strong. 'Cause, well, you've been carrying around lots of weight for a long time. And once that weight starts coming off, you can start using that strength for more stuff. So long as you start exercising, including weights, so that you don't LOSE the strength.
I don't know what you'd actually use being really strong for, but it's cool to have.
Helping people move! My brother has 4 friends from basketball games who dubbed themselves the "Four Fat-guy Phalanx... and Ben" (Ben being my brother) and they all came to help him move.
Hmm.... maybe it'd be better to NOT be really strong...
You could use being really strong for carrying me around! Like a goddess!! That would be so fun!!! And you'll need to be strong cause I'm now at 150 and I don't seem to be loosing. :`-(
Don't worry, sauntering looks way cooler than running. I tell that to myself because I know I won't be running anywhere with "The Girls".
I'm really pleased that you are making a concentrated effort, and I hope you are able to change your life habits and be the person on the outside that makes you happy.
I always swore I would not become an anti-smoking Nazi when I quit smoking four years ago, but I have. I hear the shit come out of my mouth and it makes me giggle inside, but I say it all the same. Still, it's better than remaining a slave to tobacco. So, even if you do become some weird incarnation of your mom, it's better than being unhappy with your physical self.
I think being really aware of everything you consume is the only sensible way to lose weight. Then you can make that decision--"is this worth the calories?" Sometimes its yes, sometimes no (I'm a horrible boredom eater, so I often don't really pay attention, or like the mochas, don't really think about what it is I'm eating).
Good for you, I don't think being informed makes you obnoxious. Just stay away from Atkins, that makes you obnoxious.
Yeah, that's how I feel about it too. Scarily enough, at this point in time, it's almost always on my mind. Is this worth the calories? Do I need this? But you know, I weigh a bit less than I did last time either of you saw me, so I guess it's mostly a good thing.
But so no, being informed makes you informed. If you get in peoples faces... well, that's something else. You know what? At this point I have minimal intake of caffeine, don't drink soda almost at all, and find some sugar additives scary. But it's mostly a secret. Heh.
