Confession
I'm about ten pounds from the weight I would like to be at for summer. I am irrationally annoyed at my multiple friends who are going to the fat doctor to shed theirs. And my friend that's on the hcg diet? Ugh. She will be stick thin and ready for swimsuit season with minimal effort while I diet and exercise my ass off. Jerks. I wish I could take something and just get it done fast and easy.
Re: Confession
THIS exactly.
I know I told you all about how my SIL got lipo because DH and one of his cousins lost a ton of weight and she felt "left out." Well, she is fat again. What is she going to do - get MORE lipo??
And you look great so don't worry about it.
So... I tried on a pair of size 5 jeans that I USED to fit in to at Christmas time (they were a gift from DH) and... I have a mother effing muffin top! I nearly bawled my face off yesterday. I've been exercising about 4 times a week (zumba, yoga, cycling and weights) and have kept a pretty modest daily calorie count, but I feel like I'm gaining weight. I'm sure muscle is the biggest culprit, but a muffin top is a muffin top...
I'm just struggling with making "lifestyle changes" as opposed to dieting. I know how to diet. But I need to figure out how to MAINTAIN. Boo hiss.
I understand. I have a friend who isn't working right now and is able to go to the gym every day and is losing weight. I'm sooo irrationally jealous that I only get to the gym about 3 times a week and it's going slower for me. Then I remember I have a job and she doesn't and try to get over it.
Sorry.. but... size 5? Waaaaa.....
I feel ya. Took me months and months just to lose ten pounds (and I certainly have more than 10 to lose!). A guy friend of mine did hcg and lost 25 in less than a month. I keep telling myself it's bad for me, that I'll gain it back, that it's just stupid... but it's hard to look at people who are losing so fast and not be jealous just a little, no matter how rational you try to be.

Bloggy
stand near me too! I am like way way way over any weight I would ever be comfortable being seen in a swimsuit in!
