That's like one of those "no please don't keep us in suspense" scenarios :wink:

A bit like when they get a critical point in a TV show, then cut to adverts and make you wait 3 minutes. Darn TV execs, trying to give people a head f*** :P.

Next time, I should say…. To be continue… :twisted: (Cliff hanger)

Dinner Update:
I was soooo hungry after work, I went a bought some chicken and ate it… The dinner was at 7, but I was starving by 5! I didn’t wait… I just ate!

I thought it was going to be me and her actually it was a total of 4. They wanted to order this and that and asked if I would eat it... I noticed they were feeling uncomfortable and a bit annoyed I didn’t want it so I told them to order what they want because it’s their favorite restaurant. This was ordered…. Stir fried rice noodles w/ veggies, ox tail curry w/ string beans, deep fried intestine (dunno pig? Cow? Not sure) Sour fish soup, chopped grilled beef in soy sauce, and white rice.

I ate… very little noodle (too oily, I was getting a head ache), chopped up grilled beef and a fish from the soup… I didn’t like the sour taste. I drank lots and lots of water! Then I stopped myself from eating. Everybody was stuffing their face with it and then looked at me and said… that’s all you’re eating? You want dessert? I was like, No thanks!

I was still hungry but the water filled me up. One of the guy was like “Oh, you’re one of those who don’t eat a night”… I’m like, “No. I eat…” Then the guy said… “Then you’re just picky and only stick with salad.” I was like Yes, I am picky. I just don’t like oily food like this!” Then everybody looked at me... ohwell, next time keep your mouth shut if you don’t want to hear me make a comment back at ya! But other than that little incident, everything was fine. They ate while I kept drinking water. Got home at 9 and had a protein shake. :)

diet has been somewhat the same when I started to workout and be healthy. I continue to education myself and ask for help. That’s why I say patient because overtime, healthy eating habit kicked in and slowly but surely weight started to disappear! People kept saying.. You look GREAT. How many pounds did you lose? But I didn't noticed it... until pants started to fall down :shock:. You know, I’ve been eating bad and unhealthy food almost whole life, say about 20 plus years… I can’t expect to lose it in a day or a week. Some people can do it in a month but as I mentioned to you before… It took me a year and still working on it. At least I know I’m doing it healthy. There were times I didn’t eat much because I was really sick or was really stressed out. However, I kept it the same. Sometimes I play with diet for awhile… Like what I enjoy eating and what are the things I’m not eating enough of (Veggies & Fruits). I tried carb cycling before. It was ok but didn’t do it long because I needed energy to workout hard in order for me to burn more calories. I was lacking energy when I cut out the carbs… I was wasting time working out because I didn’t have energy to push myself… so I ended up being unproductive.
I do have less carbs on rest days and I carb up (complex carbs) on weights… I hope that make sense. Let me know if you have anymore questions. :mrgreen:

The sad thing is, even if you explained to them it probably wouldn't do any good, they would still look at you like "one of those girls"! Oh well, at least you are healthy :D Great job on sticking to your healthy stuff, though - it is so tempting when everyone else is eating the stuff you used to love!

Expressing:

I wasn’t going to express this but I think I should because we all have our down time and need to come to a realization how we look and how we feel about the way we look.

Last night, I took a picture of myself… Finally, after I lost digital camera. I FOUND IT!!! Oh goodness, when I saw myself… body… high percentage of FAT… I wanted to cry! I wanted to kick the wall. I wanted to throw things across the room and break it (ok, maybe not... but I keep seeing movies that do that) I wanted to stay in a dark place so no one can see me or see how I look. I just saw myself… I was being negative… I just hated myself… I hated back, I hated legs, I hated whole body, and I hate how I hated myself! Mind you this was at night after the dinner (I didn’t eat much anyways).

I loaded the pictures to mini notebook and kept looking at pictures (front, side & back view), I kept staring at it, I kept hating myself for it. I was feeling all shitting and pitying myself. Then I went to the mirror and flexed arms… I’m thinking dang, I may hate legs and tummy and the rest of body, except the shape of arms that is slowly but surely developing…Then somehow I ended making myself laugh for no damn reason! Next thing I know I was talking to myself in the mirror and feeling good about myself. I went back to journal to see how far I’ve gotten. Yeah, it’s not where I wanted to be but it’s a realization that I need to keep pushing and go forward.

Why am I sharing this? … department got some junk food to celebrate no more Tax.
Also because it’s Friday… I’m getting lazy to go to the gym and do weights. But remembering the picture I saw last night… how much I hate it… I am sooooo ready to hit the weights and lift those bad boys! I didn’t touch any junk food and went on and continue to eat what I brought to work. If I eat those nasty & shitty food. I will continue to look and feel shitty about myself. The picture I just took will prove it to me and only me and it will only be own fault because I put those junk in mouth!

Man, I guess taking picture of myself really did help motivate and discipline me even more. How bad I want it??? I WANT it real bad!!!!

Have a good Friday... and be good on the weeeknd.. :wink:

That's awesome that you were able to turn that around into a positive! You didn't let it sabotage you, which is what a lot of people would do. I must say, I have been getting lazy today thinking I just want to go home and relax tonight - you just motivated me to get butt in gear and work out anyway :)

Thanks for sharing - just remember how far you have come - it really is worth it!

What I will say is you need to keep remembering more of the positives.

What about Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Hearthealth, Bone density, reduced risk of chronic and terminal illnesses?

It's all too easy for people to forget the things they can't see, but it's important to remember them and keep them in perspective. There may be improvement and quite significantly in some or all of those areas.

You're an amazing person and you just need to keep focusing on ALL your positives and all the potential positives to come.

You have every right to be so, so proud of yourself. It's not been easy and you've had a few issues to get over in the past, but you're doing so well, so don't emotionally flagellate, keep positive, chin up, be strong and keep believing in your head and heart to guide you.

You deserve to be happy and healthy, so keep believing and also go easy on yourself okay :).

You'd like that crappy sounding Stemulite product then. Supposedly Eggplant, (Aubergine), extract, that's as good as Steroids but with no side effects. You'd be Ms Olympia 180lbs buff, in about 6 months flat, if you believe the hype :wink: :wink:

Note to all, any product like that that has it's own website, is in most cases probably going to be rubbish, or pretty rubbish, a bit like Shakeweight :wink:

A site selling lots of products may have a few duds, but a site selling one product may very often have one dud.

We all need to vent sometimes - and it helps to do that on here because everyone understands what you are going through :D The important part is that you are moving on and not letting it get in your way!

Monday:

Diet:
Meal #1 – Plain oatmeal 1/2c
Meal #2 – Strawberries, cashews
Meal #3 – Sandwich Turkey
Meal #4 – Not sure
Meal #5 – Not sure
Meal #6 - Not sure (Protein shake - maybe)

Workout:
Not sure either (Cardio maybe?)

I really dislike not having things plan but we all have our days right? I didn’t prepare any meals because I didn’t have time for myself this weekend. (I really do HATE Mondays!)

I’m leaving work #1 early to take dad to the doc’s appt. Then take the train back to the city to make it to Work #2. (Commute 1 hr each way) The time I’m off its late and I’ll be tired but still need to prepare meals for the week…. I’ll try to do cardio, so I can do weights tomorrow.

Sunday: So we celebrated bro’s & mom’s b-day.
As mentioned they BBQ tons and tons of meat and drank all day to night!
Started from 12PM to12AM (eating and drinking) – Beautiful day!

Lucky me for NOT drinking I’m the designated driver. I picked up an aunt, friends of an aunt, bro’s friends, drop off dad’s friend, airport pick up, pick up pizza, and go buy more beers! BLAH…. (Oh how I love being a taxi driver and a servant….NOT :evil: !)

I don’t remember what time I ate since its all day… but I did grill eggplants, zucchinis, bell peppers, shrimps, and I’m not gonna lie but I had me a nice rib! Oh yeah, and I ate our specialty spicy green papaya salad… oh yum…. Sooo good! Other than that, I didn’t touch any alcohol, pizza, ice cream, cake, etc…

Although it was a rest day I did had a workout taking care of a little brat! I had to chase her around, feed her, changed her, etc…. I guess I’m a baby sitter as well.

So a few people I haven’t seen for awhile had remarks about me. Like “I heard you were working out how come you still look the same?” “Who’s bigger me or you? … I’m even a guy” “How come you’re not drinking?? Worried you’ll get even bigger?” etc....

Although some were rude and made stupid comments especially when they are drunk... I just dismissed them and told them about being health stuff.. They laugh… ohwell, I can’t never change anybody’s mind… especially drunk ones! So, I took niece in the house and watched cartoons! :mrgreen:

No matter what they said… They couldn’t bring me down or break me in to pieces because I was strong and I have you guys to keep me positive! :D

I give you TONS OF CREDIT!!!! Oh, , I think I would have punched a few of them - that is awful! But I am so very proud of you for keeping your cool :D That's much more than I could have done. And I am happy you have enough support here to help keep you strong even around the rudest people - WAY TO GO!

Okay, that one would have probably sent me over the edge...and i would have had to deck them! You should have said "no, I'm worried I'll knock the s#@% out of you!!" I applaud your sense of control and for understanding that they were letting their alcohol control their mouth - and that you didn't let it rattle you. You handled yourself like an adult and kept a level head - most people would have acted out either with food or drink or just in bad behavior - but you showed them (whether they remember it or not) that you are MILES ahead of them in being a good, smart, fit, healthy person who makes good decisions and cares about their body. Yay Nokie!!!!
You know who you are, you know where you've been, and you know where you are going - so good for you to keep your cool and not let someone else's crude remarks get you down. And as Cassie would say "I'm SO stinking proud of you!!" :D :D
