Sphinx1991's Journal, 19 January 2013

Okay here I am, trying yet another start of a diet. Trying to stay positive, which is hard but this time, it will work, I will not get stuck after only losing 5lbs.

I guess I have been overweight all my life, though I don't remember it interfering with they way I look at myself when I was younger, but now...my self esteem has reached its lowest level yet. All I want to do is hide away from people, to hide my 'fatness' so others won't have to look at it. It's worse since I'm still technically at school, University actually where we are all supposed to be past the high school drama, but there are still the looks, the whispers that you can hear at the cafe. It's a lose-lose situation when trying to grab something for lunch. If you get something unhealthy, like fries or a slice of pizza its the disgusted looks of she shouldn't be eating that. On the other hand, if you get something healthy like a salad and some fruit, you hear comments of why is someone her size eating something healthy, shouldn't she be stuffing her face with something fatty?

All I guess I really want to do is become healthier. To be able to walk across campus without losing my breath (there are lots of stairs/hills). And to hold my head up high when I am at my University, not try to hide and blend into the crowd so no one can see me. I'm applying for my Master's and if I get in, there will be tons of presentations and at the end of it, a thesis defense. I guess I feel that if I can loose some of this weight, I will become more confident, and be able present in front of people without wanting to run from the room and hide in a dark corner someplace.

Anyway here's to a new start, its a little late for a new year's resolution, but since I never keep them, this start is for me only.

I am right there with you. I can lose 5 lbs but I end up gaining it back. I don't know if it's just water weight or what. I lost around 30 lbs over 2 years ago, but I have about 20-25 more pesky pounds to lose. I keep starting these diets and they last about 2 weeks or so, and then I fall back into the same routine. I need to change it up, but I'm not sure how. What do you normally do to try to lose weight? Do you eat low calorie? -Jen-

I realize this is easier said than done, but try not to worry so much. Rally, not all people are as shallow as you think that they would be judging you so harshly. Yes, we ARE out of high school. Since you mentioned it can be hard to not get stuck at 5 lbs, i was looking at your diet calendar it seems you are eating a lot of carbohydrates as part of your diet. I don't see much greens or fruits. Try to replace some of the fat and carbs with a bit more protein and see if that helps. Are you drinking lots of water?
