Comments
i dont know if this is a blessing or a curse, but even ONE POUND shows on me. if i lose a pound, u can tell. if i gain a pound, u can tell. this is going to osund REALLY not believable but it is SO TRUE: if i eat a LOT one day, my mom can tell the next day. like, seriously. if i eat three bagels today, tomorrow my mom will be like "your face is looking bigger today for osme reason..." and this is WITHOUT knowing what i ate! and thats REALLY shitty, but at the same time, my face shrinks really fast too. if i control my eatign and exercise for 2 days, on the third day, i look smaller.
15 pounds in one semester is awesome, julie!! what did u do??
Good luck everyone!
i've been trying to to crunches every day, but i'm way too lazy and i always forget.
yeah that's been my problem--and I don't have carpet in my room so it's not something that I can remember to do every night before bed, you know? I actually have to think about doing them...blegh.
Actually it was kind of weird. It's too hard to go on a diet living in the dorms so at first I just ate like I usually do and started working out like 4 hours a week like cardio and lifting weights. And I could tell I was gaining muscle but I wasn't losing fat fast enough so I like stopped eating after dinner and only drank water after dinner and kept exercising. But I cut a lot of salt out of my diet and stopped eating like chips as much. So most of what I ate was fruit and pasta everyday, but no cream sauces on the pasta, lol.
getting ill also makes you lose weight lol. i lost weight over xmas by being ill and i couldn't eat properly for like a week. a couple of those pounds came back but te others didn't.....
amina i'm not being rude but how much do you weigh now?? cos you look amazing!
and quick question: how often do u guys weigh yourself? i read that people that weigh themselves every day dont lose as much weight. but i ant help it!!! ive been doing it every day for the past 6 or 7 years. its a habit...i dont even think about it and there i am on the scale. and if i controlmyself one day and dont do it, i feel like, off balance all day. like, i dont know where i stand! its so annoying!!!
but yeah: goal for thsi week: dont weigh myself ntil friday!
how tall are u??
last time i was weighed was the last time i went to a doctors office, hahaha... so i have no idea how much i really weigh, i just guess based on how well my clothes are fitting...
how tall are u??
THAT is the whole issue! if i was like, 5'5 and weighed 114 or even 118 id be happy. but im five feet!!! sarah michelle gellar is one inch taller than me and weigh 98 pounds. this used to make me do crazy things in an attempt to weigh 98 pounds, but then i realized everyone has a different body. my sister weighed 88 pounds when she got married and a year after she had her baby, she weighed about 115 and she looked realllllly chubby, and i wore a smaller size than her. now, she weighs 97 pounds and we wear the same size. i think i have heavy organs hahaha.
the least ive weighed(at an adult age) is 109, and i stopped getting my period until i went up to 115 and stayed there for 5 months. my body is such a difficult bitch.
i dont really have a problem with my numerical weight anymore, i guess.my sister always tells me "why do u care about the number when you look good?! people dont see the number, they see YOU!" so when i say i want to lose "weight" im ot talking baout the numbers really. I'm going to TRY and drp the numbers--and maybe since im doing it in a helathy way this time, i can weigh even less than 109 and not worry about hurting basic body functions.
i just want to look more lean. i want to look BETTER. i think girls can never be happy iwth the way they look. ever. no matter what. i think even if i weigh 100 pounds and wear a double 0, i wont be happy. there will always be something else to fix, and something else to make better.
i wonder if boys feel this way too...?
sarah michelle gellar is SO SO SO petite i swear there is no room in her body for all of her body parts lol!!
i know what u mean about the weight. i lost like 28 pounds (i guess it was like puppy fat or something) about a year ago and all my friends noticed but i couldn't tell. everyone was like "OMG you look so amazing, what did you do??" lol i was like ummm, noting haha. and since going on the pill like 9 months ago, i feel much fatter, even tho apparantly i havent put weight on on, i feel like my body fat has re-distributed itself to my belly haha... and ryan can tell my body has changed since like 9 months ago haha. but according to the scales i've probaby lost a couple of pounds. i hate scales. its ridiculous lol.
anyway that whole paragraph was meant to be about guys body image but i forgot haha. yea ryan feels a little insecure about his body. he's a little chunky and thinks he has man boobs. he doesnt. he has a beautiful body, granted he has a belly, but its not like its FAT or disgusting, it looks fine but he's all like "yea i'm gonna join the gym and get rid of these man boobs and this beer belly" and i think he looks lovely. so i guess it hits some guys lol. but then i am biased because i looove him hahaha i am stupid.
But yeah I want to weigh what Amina weighs and i'm like 5'6 and 1/2".
sooo true... i always get so confused when people make comments about how skinny i am, 'cause i don't think i'm that skinny, i mean i know i'm not fat or anything, i just think i'm a normal sized girl...
thank you!..
*kicks self*
*kicks self*
lol... no need to kick yourself... i know you didn't mean it like that...
i wouldn't have thanked you if i thought you were calling me fat... haha...
jen is stupid
*goes and hides*
