Ugh, okay its a diet.

Wed May 7, 2008, 5:16 AM
Yesterday I did some shopping, and got stuff to assist a low-carb way of eating, because it's effectively shifted the weight from me before. Of course between that and bringing a bowl of lettuce and chicken up with me for lunch, I'll admit that it's no longer just 'watching what I eat' and I'm actually in a diet mode at the moment.

If my friends are like me, they'll slap me for it. But, I know I deserve it, and it won't stop me till I'm no longer heavier than half of them are. I'm not upset about my weight, I'm not obsessing (horribly) over how I eat, I'm letting it take routine, cutting out taters and breads, eating fruits and drinking water, and using Wii Fit to both allow me to stretch and shift, and to measure how much weight I'm dropping, to get out of the not-ideal fields.

I don't hate me. I just know I can be a 'better' me.

Besides, its not like I'm cutting out the awesome. 85% chocolate's actually not got much carb in it, so long as you eat it rationally. ;)

(this is one of those entries that'll go away in time :))

EDT: Okay this entry isn't disappearing all that quick, but in 2 weeks I've lost about a stone, and can fit into some of the slimmer (though certainly not slim) trousers I've got kicking about. So something's going right in all this at least.

Exactly how I've been feeling about myself. You have to be aware that keeping fit isn't about trying to improve your image - it's about keeping fit!

Especially when you start taking care of yourself and sitting behind a desk to earn money. Sooner or later, things start to seize up and start aching or hurting.

Nobody's saying you have to be super-skinny or anything - but keeping active to a level you're comfortable with is just generally a good idea, as is eating fairly healthily. And the more healthy food you eat, the less bad it is when you slip up and eat a cake ;)

Hey actually I`m on a diet too! Exact same reason..bah everyone is lighter than me.. XD; almost anyway. And they`d bash me for taking that diet..4th day so far..works all great >>!
Cheers for you! You can dooo it!

In the last few years, I discovered that I'm not the biggest cake fan. Dunno where that love went. Probably into chocolate.

While I know the dieting and stuff isn't about image improving, I'm fully aware I can drop a size or two and at least get slim. I can do that much for myself. Being healthy's good too, but that seems to be coming part-and-parcel anyway. The fact I can move a hell of a lot more than I could a few weeks ago (on the meds), and more than I could move in January (before meds), and need the stick less, is a sure sign 'health' is on the up at least.

^_^ Heeheehee~! Thanks.

I suppose what worries me more is that most of my friends are guys. I can stand being heavier than the reeeeeally skinny ones, but I'm fairly certain I'm heavier than several of the others as well, and they're certainly not light!

But that's what this is all about. ;)

Hope yours goes alright toooo~!

That's a good sign. It's a little bit like smoking - while it decreases lung capacity significantly, you can still do some work to get it back up again.

What happened to us? A couple months ago, we were happy being the laziest bastards on Earth :p

Hot weather, I think. ;)

Or more, you may be tempted by the thrill of getting more ladies and will buff up for the occasion, and I jumped on Wii fit and discovered how unhealthily heavy I was. ^^;

Got Wii Fit today - and so the regime begins! Fight the power!

Did the Wii Balance Board ask you to kindly get off? That's the first sign. Like when Brain Training told me I was stupid and ugly. Or when Mario Kart told me I couldn't drive for toffee... :p
