*HUGE HUGS* april... remember the numbers on the scales dont define you...

I weighed myself tonight, and I weigh more than I ever have. On top of everything else... I just don't need this.

I recently weighed the most I ever have too, I'm still heavier than is healthy too. And it sure does stink and get depressing and it frustrates me to all get out when I am working so hard in every way to improve and it doesn't help. I've started eating more and doing cardio and weight training and everything I'm supposed to do. And this is slower than a dead turtle moves. I completely understand your frustration. It isn't fair to work so hard and not see the benefits.

You're doing great April and should be really proud of yourself! I'm sorry the weight has been a problem that sucks and I know if frustrating. Hang in there.

P.S. I hate pink, too!!

That's terrible GG. Did that person say why exactly? Not that it really matters anyway. The Word of God does not mention Baptist, Mennonite, Lutheran, etc..and etc..but it does speak about faith and the attitude of one's heart. Don't worry about the pious, self important opinions of others, sweetie, just focus on Jesus because that's all that really matters. Hugs!

Well, this person doesn't believe in hell, and I told her that those who haven't accepted Christ are bound for hell. She said I was condemning like a Catholic. But through my whole conversation with her I'm learning to love my "enemies."

It is so frustrating! I've been trying for a year to lose weight, with Bruce's help, and nothing has worked so far. I'm just gaining... and then I lose a pound or two... and gain it back...... I'm sick of getting my hopes up about losing weight continuously, and even if I were to lose weight continuously, it seems like I would have to be doing everything perfectly - exercising, getting the right amount of steps, eating EXACTLY my full meal plan, not more and not less, and not being stressed and not using caffeine. Well ya know what? That's totally unrealistic.

Anyway. The whole process of losing weight healthily is going to be uber slow for me, I think, unless we hit something lucky and I lose more than a pound a month. *rolls eyes* I've been so tempted to go back to eating less than I did when I was sickest, even though I know I shouldn't. I've also been extremely tempted to cut... the urges were really bad the other night, nearly ended up with a new piercing, but didn't like how it was situated so it got taken out. So frustrating AAAAHHH!!

Okay, rant over.

*HUGE HUGS* april, stay strong sis, you know deep down that what you are doing now (trying to lose it healthily) and resisting the urges is the right thing...

That is frustrating April. Do you really have to lose the weight? (I've probably asked you that a dozen times! ). I'm just wondering; if you're having to work this hard and this long and your body seems to be resisting, will you be able to keep it off even if you lose it? Sometimes our bodies just do want they want with this sometimes. It would be more frustrating to lose some of it only to have your body keep resisting and you keep putting it back on and there's this constant yo-yoing, wouldn't it? I'm not trying to be a downer here, sorry, I just wonder if there's a reason our bodies take over sometimes.

How are you today Katey?

And Bec?

And Big Toe - glad you're back!

 

[Arianna]

Hi Kerin, how are you?

April, i'm sorry that must be so frustrating. It is so annoying when hard work doesn't pay off in the way you want. You must have made your body much healthier though by working so hard on eating.

I second that.

Kerin & Allie, I'm actually at a healthy weight and fat percentage now, but I can lose [XX] pounds and still be healthy. Right now I'm much heavier than I would prefer, and in fact quite a lot heavier than I was about a month and a half ago, thanks to lithium (or so Bruce & I both think). Initial weight gain, but maybe now that things are getting evened out and my system is used to lithium, I can lose weight. I actually did lose a significant amount of weight in the past week with this higher calorie diet, which is good.... but eating that much is so hard.... I don't know how "normal" people do it. Eugh. I feel like a pig. And I haven't even eaten all that I should have eaten today!!

Bec, why can't you wait to go back to uni?

Katey, welcome back! I hope that you're doing okay so far today.

Ari, Kerin, Allie, GG, everyone else, how are you all this evening?
