hoosier436's Journal, 06 June 2014

OH the dreaded weekend is here... I worked tonight, Sat night from 3pm to 1130pm, Church on Sunday-- I am speaking, and Sunday night back to wrk.. (get out of the store anywhere from 10 to 1030pm) then open the store on Monday (get there bout 8:45 work til 2:30 3), and a split at that (wrk from 6pm to 10:30ish).. not sure how much exercising I will get done in the next few days-- going to miss it.. and tonight, right after this I am going grocery shopping at Wally's world.. yeppie.. (Not!)..lol..

Btw, not depressed or down== more frustrated than anything else so much to do, so little time to do it in.. :D

My manager and assistant manager is admiring my work on my life style change. They are afraid that I will become discouraged when I hit my wall (IT has been over 2 months now that I have been changing my eating life style-- it really has not come).. I am not going to change the way that I am eating, when it comes, or if it comes. I am eating differently-- and I am full. Not sure if my body will ever go into a starvation mode-- but I am aware of it, I will understand it when I come (I am hoping)..

Also my assistant manager asked me to send her what I am eating... her husband wants to go on a diet..I told her several things, 1. It is hard work, a lot of work-- ok I record about everything that I can-- it gets tiring after awhile-- but it is a good reminder of where I was, and Where I am, and where I want to go, even though it is a long long ways off. 2. it takes a lot of discipline... to say no to the food that you love, is hard.. at first. Now I really can not imagine me, taking a Little Debbie Swiss cake and eat without a guilty spirit. Yeah, I miss it at times, but it is not worth it.
There are a lot of other things that I did not mentioned that is coming to my mind now...lol.. drats...like seek
3.SUPPORT! Man, I can not imagine going thru this life style change without you guys, or without writing out my thoughts. You guys have encouraged me.. to keep going-- when things were black! You guys have gave me advice, that well I did not realize before.. When I was down.. you were/are there.. My weight loss, and continue weight loss is due to you helping me, encouraging me, and well guiding me, and rooting for me to continue this journey.. A million thanks to you all!! I am in your debt...
4. EXERCISE ON A REGULAR BASES...cutting calories is important, but exercise is a key element to weight loss. Yeah at times it is a drag.. at times it is lonely, but it is necessary! I know that exercising can be a two edged sword as well-- it will help you loose weight, but your muscles will tone up, and you can gain weight as a result, thus becoming discouraged. The temptation will be to give up on the exercising.. My family doctor told me long time ago, that if I "diet"- without exercising I will loose the fat, but I will also loose the muscle... Yeah this is one of the things that I am trying to warn myself with..
5. Don't look at the final goal.. but mini steps. The final weight, is just the beginning of the journey.. not the end! Do not be discouraged bout that as well.. that is why, the journey that I am on, I am trying to look at it as a life style change and not a diet...
ok enough.. for me blabbering, to the choir..lol..
Have a great night folks.. Keep on keeping on... do not be discouraged..

Great post! I especially agree on the little guilt when you want one of those old bad choices. There is a definitely a guilt that reminds you to keep the road. Hope you survived Wally World... eesh that place. lol

I relate to the part of your journal where you state that your assistant manager wanted you to copy everything you do so that her husband could follow a diet (your diet). A close relative once asked me to photocopy all of my Weight Watchers materials so that "she could lose weight too" without "having to pay." I was amazed. You were so right to tell her that the process is hard work. Keep at it! You can do it!
