ONTD

I'm a size 5 or 6 depending on my clothes, and I wish I were a 3, tbh. :/

EDIT: I mean magically, btw. I love myself enough to not do shit and eat cupcakes and pizza.

I really hate the word healthfully. It's healthily dammit!



It's probably carbs. When I eat protein heavy weight fucking slides off me. but then I get tired of all the protein and want some crisps :(

It's good that she's taking care of what body image she passes on to her daughters though. You get enough of that crap in the world anyway.

Don't we all girl? *patpats*

the great curse of a woman these days, even when we're a size 6 (which i was for about five minutes), always the need to be smaller. smh.

I love her! She's amazing, and obviously her weight isn't holding her back from anything, which is extremely encouraging because as much as Hollywood is all about your weight and your looks- well, she is proof that maybe it isn't always... talent can still exist and be appreciated.

I live with my aunt who has had body dysmorphic disorder her entire life, and let me tell you, it is an ugly, ugly thing. I have been 112 lbs since I was 14 years old regardless of my lifestyle/eating and I always thought I looked great (my Achilles heel was always my busted smile). I live with my aunt for 2 years and after listening to her go on and on and on about people's body's, everyone's weight, and general constant commentary in that department, I have developed serious issues with my body all of the sudden. Finally, I had to stop being around her as much as I was because I was waking up everyday and judging myself in the mirror and it's not a good feeling.

I went from 280 to 225 in the last six months...it's started really slowing down and I've lost my focus a bit adjusting from a fantastic summer to all this shitty winter weather, plus I just started taking the pill after being off of it for about 5 years and I'm hungry all the time...ugh, it's hard sometimes :(

meanwhile my absolute douche of an ex-husband just kind of up and lost 70lbs and he's all lol look how awesome I am.

fucker.

Me too.

Her comments kind of annoy me, IF she's complaining about it rather than stating the facts. I think that a lot of people don't take undergoing weight loss as seriously as they should, and those are usually the ones saying "I eat like my friends, why am I overweight" or "I did the (random crash diet) and it all came back afterwards omg whyyy". If she has PCOS or a medical condition, that's a different story, but she doesn't really sound concerned at all.

I've put a hell of a lot of time, research, effort into getting to know how my body responds to weight loss. I saw my doctor twice and got my blood tested for any possible medical reason for my being overweight, and when everything came back negative, I played around with my diet macros to see what worked best. So I kind of have to rme at people who whine but don't want to educate themselves or take proactive steps if their weight is bothering them and what they're doing so far hasn't worked out for them...

Feel like she cooled off after all the hype last year.

I really want to lose 15 pounds before Christmas, so I'm planning on doing this every day. I have no idea if it'll work, since I'm so short that weight takes ages to come off but I'm getting really desperate to drop these pounds ugh.

breakfast: oatmeal and tea
snack 1: apple and almonds
lunch: whole wheat sandwich
snack 2: yoghurt and blueberries or hummus and vegetables
dinner: protein and veg (pretty much chicken and broccoli, with salad, or tofu stir-fry)

exercise:
mon, wed, fri: 30 minutes of hiit cardio on a spin bike
tue, thur: body pump or kickboxing, or strength training with blogilates

As does everyone?

I recently lost weight and it basically confirmed what I already believed about our bodies: we have a natural equilibrium point that's healthy for us, and that healthy point varies from body to body.

The weight I lost was the same weight I gained over a period of several years when I was in a stressful job and eating/exercising poorly. I joined WW to kind of reprogram my thinking/habits, and the weight dropped off easily. I will be very surprised if I lose more weight than this, though. I am eating healthy food in appropriate portions; I am working out for an appropriate number of hours a week; I am basically done with the scale. I have new fitness goals that I'm working toward right now, but basically I'm not going to listen to any BMI ratio or doctor or standard of beauty more than I'm going to listen to my own body.

my friend had some condition and couldnt lose weight, even with treatment. she ate a chicken breast with a latelful of beans and rice twice, sometimes once a day, and she walked everywhere and only lost 7 pounds in like, 6 months. then the loss just halted. even strangers constantly made fun of her to her face and guys would sleep with her but not date her, and theyd treat her like shit in public. i felt so bad for her. she practically starved herself and was lonely and miserable.

I feel your pain girl. I have lost weight and I swear I still look so fat. It's taken me months of cutting out food and working out.

And you know what I hate? People that don't believe that I work out because I am fat. Ugh.

i've gained around 50lbs this last year. i don't eat that much but i'm very sick and bedbound about 90% of the time. there isn't much energy or allowance for exercise (if i walk a mile i spend 2 days in bed recovering) so weight loss feels far away :(. plus i have some medication that speeds up my metabolism and some that makes me hungry 24/7. just can't win!
