Welcome to Gaia! ::

My "grr" is the fact that I just can NOT find time to exercise! Before when I worked at Blockbuster I had time before work to do it and that was perfect. Now though I get up at 6:15 in the morning, haul a** to get ready for work, then by the end of the day I'm generally tired and sometimes even just go take a nap.

When I do have time I don't want to break out my Yourself!Fitness game because now the only time I can work out is when my boyfriend is home and I don't want him watching me. My mom was the same way, it's just... NO! No watching me! (But of course he won't listen.)

And this is just me being selfish. I love to walk, and my walks were always "my time". I'd take a walk in the morning before work, listen to my headphones and daydream or think about stuff, maybe plan my day if I didn't have to work, etc. Now once again I can only walk when my boyfriend is home and he seems to get offended when I only take walks on the days he has to stay at work late. He needs excercise too, but in all honesty he really kicks my walks down on the "pleasant" scale. crying

*hugs*

ladies we can do this. don't get to discouraged. lets remember the point o fthis thread,

everyone makes mistakes, so don't beat yourself up. just say what you did wrong, and realize its in the PAST. i know i struggle with this too, but just keep moving fwd.

My grrr is just like that. I've been thinking about working out more than actually doing it lately. And it's been such nice weather to go out for runs; I stay in bed and sleep longer rather than getting up to exercise.

Hokay, so far I've lost about a stone. However recently I made stuff for a picnic and made far too much- now there's a lot of tasty food lying about. Lately I've been very stressed out because of school stuff and university stuff and other stuff, and I want to eat. I'm struggling to maintain self-control, which is my main grrr. Thankfully I've managed not to blow the diet, and I'm still going at a steadt pace. I'm just finding it very tough at the mo'. >_<

*Huggles Aeren* No worries, dudette- just start over afresh. And find something health, tasty and low-fat to eat at mealtimes. In fact, find a few things like that- I've fallen into the trap of being addicted to one kind of salad and am too afraid to eat anything else, already. >_>; It's good to have variety.

papple~ take it easy... your metabolism is going to take a long time to rebound if you continue to eat less than 1000 calories. its just not safe. i worry for you.

my vice right now? fast food... taco johns...

I'm beginning to find that the line between healthy eating and disorder is very thin. The temptation to not eat at all has been nipping at my heals for a while now, and above all of that I'm still feeling very fat. I have to make a concious effort to eat, but I don't like to do it, because once I have a thought about food I can't stop... I've got to fight to keep control. Luckily I was talking to a friend who's been dieting with me since the beginning of the year, and I'm not the only one. So, yeah, we're both watching ourselves and each other closely to make sure we don't overstep the line. Even so, it's kind of scary.

A warning to you other Gaian Losers- once you get into a pattern of losing weight effectively, keep close tabs on yourself, or it may become a bad habit.
