But I eat because I want to eat. Now I am 5'5" and I weigh about 165lb. I am very top heavy 36DDD with a 31in waist. I would love to get down to 130 but will settle 145. I will start a new eating regiment on a monday and do good all week. Then the weekend it is over. I AM A FAT COW Any words of wisdom on how to beat the gorging

Im a fat cow to - much bigger than you - if that makes you feel any better Anyhow, it is a constant struggle with weight for me. I am the opposite of all of you ladies - Im not an emotional eater at all - im an emotional cleaner and sleeper.. I pretty much clean and sleep off my problems. But OBVIOUSLY I havent been sad in a long time. I am probably at the happiest point in my life so I got fatter! Now I am happy and trying to fight fat!
This is what I did/am doing, I think you should try to (lot about 3-4 lbs in two weeks)
Start NEW
1. THROW EVERYTHING Bad out of your Kitchen.
Exchange veggie/corn oil for xtra virgin olive oil or sunflower oil
Exchange Beef for Chicken and Fish / Buy mostly fish and chicken
Exchange Fried for Baked or grilled
Add some fresh veggies and fruit to your fridge.
Exchange regular bread for WHOLE wheat breads
And regular pasta for wheat pasta
Refined sugar with yummmy unrefined brown sugar
Add some organic and vegetarian ingredients to your diet.
BUT GET RID OF YOUR SNACKS - CHIPS AND COOKIES AND SWEETS SHOULD NOT BE IN YOUR HOUSE.

2. Slowly add some exercise. Even if its just 5 minutes a morning before work. I did that and FI thought I was crazy. BUt I saw a change. I turned on a song and tried to do at least 4 floor exercises to it. I did sit ups, some dumb bell exercises, and some leg exercises.

3. Then try to go to the gym. I do weights class 2 times a week and I do and hour Cardio at least 2 times a week. I found ZUMBA... Here is a link to see what we do.... JOIN if you have one in your area!!!! YouTube - ZUMBA!!!!! Its salsa and hip hop fusion! SOOOOOO FUN!!!

4. Make a physical goal for yourself. Mine was run a 3 k... haven't done it yet

I also started Alli - It helps!

Ive been an elementary teacher for about 5 years and you know what - I just say NO when those evil girlscouts ask me to buy their cookies! I tell them, I am on a diet. I could care less about the cause! If I want to continue to be a fat cow I will spend money like a fat cow! So ladies. JUST SAY NO TO GIRLSCOUTS!

THAT WOULD BE GOOD IF I lived by myself. Most snacks I steal are for my son's lunch. I doo GREAT at home it is at work. All the fat heffas with the cheese steaks and chicken wings and chinese food chips candy etc. Also I snack when my kids piss me off which has been everyday last week. I do better over the summer and christmas breaks.

Jean-Marcus - Thanks for the tip!! I have one slight comment (please don't take offense). Women lose weight differently then men. It is something we have lived with for most of our adult lives. You have no idea what it is like to go from a skinny chick to a chunky one, then to top it off get ready for your wedding. It is this crazy mentality (sp?) thing. We want to look our best and women seem to like to bitch about their weight. Heck, I bitched about my weight when I was a hot lifeguard. Thanks for saying that you think we are fine just the way we are, but MOOOOOOO.

Yay! FCC is officially in session (since yesterday of course!). There's something remarkable about having a group of people together all with the same goals - weightloss (duh!), but also health and wellness!

 

You lucky ladies with your huge boobies - I bet they DO weigh almost 15 pounds! I am a C so I can't join a busty bovines group but that's OK I am happy with them.

 

LadyP - you must be losing so much weight with that kick-boxing sig! God, I wish it really worked like that!

 

Anyway I was just lecturing my mother last night about how weight loss is not enough to keep you motivated. (OK, I totes stole that from my WW leader ) You have to focus on the other benefits - healthy, more energy, cuter clothes (Ok, she didn't actually mention that one), weddings for those who have ones coming up, improved self-esteem, etc. etc.

 

Honestly I want to slap people who think it's a matter of "well just don't eat it"... ummmmm... if it was tyhat easy I wouldn't have been struggling with weight my whole life!!!!! It's about balance, which is why I think I like WW so much. I need those extra 35 flex points every week otherwise I feel deprived! And in fact I plan on using mine today

 

Catherine - I'm sorry you feel like a fat cow (mooooo! from me) but I'm so glad you posted it up so we can all do this together. Seriously this thread is motivating me to go get on my stationary bike... I mean I haven't exercised all week! No reason - just lazy!

 

Love you FCs!
