My neighbor thinks I'm pregnant

My neighbor thinks I'm pregnant

Submitted by paintedladybug on April 17, 2006 - 5:43pm. fat | fitness | Health | weight loss

Well, it's finally happend. All those glances in the mirror. That shirt that wasn't this tight last week. The never ending bulge that rims my jeans and shows through my t-shirt. I knew I was getting a little chunky ;-O, but pregnant! Wow! And go figure it comes from the guy who lives a few houses away, the guy that I dated when I was in high school, the guy that I lost my virginity to, and the guy that needs help getting off crack! But I guess that the truth comes to you in any format. I feel like I should ask him why he's so skinny. Why does he do drugs? Would that help? Make me feel a little better? Maybe, but the truth is that he has nothing to do with my fatness! I have done this damage to myself. And I've tried everything. Dieting, exercise, but my biggest problem of all is consistency. I'm a quitter. I can go for a while, but then as soon as I start to see even the slightest result, bam, straight back to the chips. Skip that workout, you lost 2 lbs last week. Before you know it, I've stopped everything, and I'm back to watching tv in my room, snacking before bed! Oh, make it stop! I don't want to look like this AGAIN this summer. I want to be able to feel comfortable in my shorts. I WANT TO WEAR A SWIMSUIT, NOT SHORTS AND A TANK TOP!!! And the saddest part is that we're not talking about 50lbs overweight. We are talking 15lbs overweight, and I can hear you now....ohhh poor thing! Get over it! And I should, but I carry 15lbs like it's 50 with my height. I'm only 4'11". That makes for one very stout and chunky chic! But pregnant?! It's worse that I expected. Maybe I'm up to 20lbs over by now, who knows, I threw away the scale a year ago. It's so sad. I preach to everyone and I can't even follow my own advice when it comes to my appearance. I'm very annoyed with myself and this is going to be the beginning of winning over the pounds. I am goin public! I am going to write a daily entry on what I ate, when I exercised, and any of those nasty pounds that I can sweat off of myself. Maybe I will hold myself a little more accountable. Maybe I'll write white lies about the 3 pieces of candy that I stole out of the easter basket in the other room. I don't know, but I guess we'll find out.

OK-here's today....
No breakfast-very bad, need to work on that one really bad.
Snacked on ham all afternoon, some chips, an apple, and a few pieces of candy out of the easter basket-there!
Dinner - Ham sandwich and a banana
On my second glass of wine
Exercise - did 2 loads of laundry - 3 story house, you do the math
Canvased three blocks for work this morning
Danced in the basement for 1/2 hr, doing the turbo jams moves.

Till tomorrow

First of all...

Anyone who asks a woman if she's pregnant is a moron.

But, regardless, good for you on your new resolve. What I've learned about myself is that I am not good with moderation. If I'm going to lose weight there just have to be things I can't eat, and I absolutely can't skip out on the exercise. Give me an inch and I'll take a mile...

Good luck!
read me!

I have to find the strength to maintain my eating habits a little better. I'm working for myself these days, and I have a hard time being at home, near the fridge! Thanks for the comment!

i was an athlete and the best time to work out in when you wake up. when you wake up and workout you jumpstart your metabolism. also lifting weights helps. having muscle helps to burn fat.

I'm short too, so a small amount of weight can make a big difference on my small frame.

Submitted by James Champion on April 17, 2006 - 6:59pm.

getting up is so hard and just working out so hard too. i would say eat a little less, but i definitely do not mean starve yourself. your body needs energy for all the working out i know you're gonna do. i am sure you've heard this before, but it is good to work out with someone so you have someone to push you. if not, at least try to do more than you did the day before until you reach a certain level. you will find that a healthy diet(try not to eat anything you dont like) alone will help, but also try doing abs and working out a few times a week. ab workouts are not overrated. even if you never do a physical workout, your mid section will tighten a little and give the impression that have lost weight.

I think I can!

Submitted by paintedladybug on April 17, 2006 - 8:28pm.

I'm really trying to work on a number of things, and the first one is getting up earlier, getting in some exercise, and getting some breakfast down. I really think that would just jump start my days a little better. Now getting up is the hardest part! I am awake, I just lay there, trying to get in that extra 1/2 hr I was jipped somewhere along the way ;-) I'm REALLY going to focus on that and see where it takes me. To prove it, my posts will be the first thing I do (timestamps won't lie)!!! A little motivation doesn't hurt does it?

rude people

Submitted by cgwriter on April 17, 2006 - 7:48pm.

After my pregnancy, I was working on losing the pregnancy weight and thought I wasn't doing too bad.

Then I went to the bank one day and was yawning, and the woman goes "Oh, no wonder you are so tired, you're pregnant!" Mortified, I'm like, uh, no, actually I'm not. She just kept talking, didn't even apologize.

Then about a month later I go back to the bank. Same woman sees me and says "Oh, you're the one I thought was pregnant!"

HELLO??? Did she not embarrass me/herself ENOUGH the FIRST time?? Why oh WHY would you say that AGAIN?!?!?! I started going to a different branch of my bank after that, lol.

It's amazing what some people will say. And I hear ya on the whole battle of the bulge, it sure ain't easy! Good luck!!
