Red enough??

by antlady69 ^Pro @ 09.08.2007 – 05:32:20

I'm soooo disappointed!!

Ever since Enamelslide and I made a pact to lose weight, I've been so good: I ate loads of fruits and salads, almost no sweets (except some Gummi bears, but one bag lasted several days), and just made sure my portions are not outrageously big.

Our weigh-ins are on Monday, but just for the sake of it I stepped on the scales yesterday morning - and I weigh more than what I started with.

How the fuck can that be????

Out of frustration I bought two chocolate bars and some more gummi thingies last evening (but only ate one piece of choc and a few gummi thingies).

Fuck!!

At least one thing worked out right for me - I dyed

Is that really you? Wow, you look very nice ( I'm trying not to sound as if I'm chatting you up) in that photo AL. It isn't how I pictured you, it's a lot better than I pictured you. Of what I see in the photo, you are a very good looking young(ish) lady. Good choice of hair colour too, it'll come back into fashion soon. Are you related to Zorro? Cheers..

  Oh, I nearlt forgot, if you have been exercising, and have gained some muscle, then remember muscle weighs more than fat. It is how you feel that is important, not how much you weigh. Life is too short, so do what you want when you want, so long as you don't upset others, then just do what you wanna do, go where you wanna go, and dieting without exercise never works, because you gotta get rid of the calories that you put in. If you consume 1500 calories, going about your daily business, you might burn off, let's say 1000 calories, therefore you still have 500 calories left to get rid of. So you burn them off by exercising, if you burn off 750 calories, then you will, if you continue in this manner lose weight. Your body will also get back into a healthy looking shape. Good luck Gordon...

    Thought it best to answer your second comment in a, er- second comment
    
    Umm, I can't say that I've been doing much exercise lately Although I know very well that I have to. One can't really lose any weight without exercising. I just HATE IT! That's why I admire your stamina go cycle the "Road to Knowhere" almost every day. How about this: I'll select you as my role model now
    
    Now I just need to wake up during the day, and I'll have the energy to do some sport...

  Oh, er, thank you, Gordon! *embarrassed blush*
  
  But, er, how can you tell? *puzzled look on face*
  You can't really see too much of me. Or do you find my "veil" so enticing? *LOL*
  You know, I could do the "Dance of the Seven Veils" for you *grin* Would you like me to?
  
  And now I'm curious - how did you think I looked? I find it so hard to judge a person's character only by his or her blog, let alone what they look like. For example, I have no idea what you might look like. Or most of my other blog friends (unless they've posted photos of themselves). How would you describe yourself? (and you can post this in your own blog, if you like)
  
  HEY - wait a second. What do you mean by "youngISH"??? Only "youngISH???? Just you wait until I visit Scotland, I'll make a detour to the Outer Hebrides just to haunt you a little!!! *hehehehe*

    In answer to all your questions, the answer is the same, I don't know. How would I describe myself, again I don't know, but maybe I'll think about it, and get back to you. I thought that me putting looking youngish, would be better than me putting young, because you'd think that I was telling fibs, so I thought putting youngish, would suffice. It was meant as a compliment, gee, women eh? Never marry a woman my dad used to say to me. Cheers....

      Yeah, it's tough with us women, isn't it? *LOL*
      
      First we expect a bloke to compliment us, and when he does we don't believe him.
      
      So: thanks for the compliment, Gordon! I know you meant well
      
      P.S.: who did your dad suggest getting married to instead??

YOu weight fluctuates from day to day which is why you should only weigh in once a week!!!

Hugs xx

  I know, Faffa - it was a stupid thing to do. I just wanted to see some success... and didn't. Hence the frustration.
  
  I'll be good from now on
  
  *hugs back*

nice photo, even with half your face blacked out. And that hair sure is red. I am going to the hairdresser tonight, but mine won't go red. Faffajane is right in that weight fluctuates, and I also find the monthly cycle has a bearing, especially if you get a lot of water retention - which is always my excuse. Don't give up. to paraphrase Gordon, as long as you like your body, then sod the rest of them. ; )

  Yeah I agree, but sidejump put it so much better than I did, because she uses her brain.

  Oh, thanks SJ!
  
  What hair-colour did you get? The eye picture of yours suggests a darker colour (based on the colour of your eyebrows), is that correct?
  
  You're absolutely right about the water retention. Some mornings I wake up and can't even make a proper fist because of all the water. And then it's gone the next day. Go figure that riddle out...
  
  P.S.: I had replied yesterday to this comment but the internet was acting up when I tried to save it - and apparently my reply was lost.

    yes, I am a brunette - my hairdresser mixes a special colour, quite dark for me, to hide those few greys! and then he does highlights by basically bleaching out some of the colour again. It looks great when he has just done it

i like the colour! looks fiery, which is the attitude you should have towards the weight loss. You wont lose immediately, particulalry if u arent excercising hard but keep at it. remember lots and lots of water and small little meals throughout the day(even if it's fruit or munching on raw verg) to keep the metabolism going. it doesnt have to be gym and yes, you may seem like you are gaining which will be muscle and soon you'll look toned.

people only lose weight suddenly when they really starve themselves and all they lose is water. If u only need to be toned(more than losing weight) you wont necessarily lose the weight. keep a it dear girl, you are my inspiration

  Oh, thanks PB! I am eating loads of fruits and low-fat yoghurts etc, but it's harder than I expected.
  
  It has always been nigh impossible for me to lose weight, unless I'm very sick (and I mean life-threateningly sick) and/or undergo 6-hour operations. Other than that, my body holds on to its fat *sigh*. I've tried the gym, I've tried running in the woods, I've tried exercising at home - I just can't get below the "set weight" that's engraved in my brain.
  
  But I won't give up, thanks to your pep talk! I just bought a set of dumb bells and will do some exercise again in the mornings at least three times a week, I promised myself. Even if I don't lose weight, at least I'll be a bit less flabby

  PS: Using me as an inspiration isn't fair - now I can't fail and can't come up with a fake excuse. *LOL*
