Venting
Ok...so I’m just going to vent to you for a second. This blog is totally not like my regular blogs; I am just having a bad morning apparently. So bare with me.
So I am trying to lose some weight right? I've gained weight over the summer; not happy about it. Well I am trying to do it the healthy way; workout, eat right, etc. So Monday I weighed 109.5. Boo. I want to be 103 because that is what I have weighed since i graduated high school and what i weighed before the summer started. So Tuesday I weighed 107. Excellent! I went down!! Wednesday I weighed...109.5 again. Ok that’s reasonable. Weight fluctuates. Well this morning I weighed 110.5. The most I have ever weighed in my entire life.
So I am going to starve myself basically. Till Saturday. Yeah I am going to eat but it will be very little and I hope to make myself very hungry and have my stomach eat the extra gluten that’s obviously attached to my body still. Eat away stomach; eat away.
I am really concerned. Have I lost my good metabolism?? If so that’s not good and I just might become a temporary anorexic. I’m not kidding. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. Here is what I have eaten every day this week:
Breakfast: fruit(like a peach or handful of grapes) and a 90 calorie granola bar.
Lunch: soup – vegetable soup that doesn’t even contain fat and is 90 calories and a banana.
Dinner: I had a salad one night with chips and salsa and the other night I had a lean pocket. Last night I had soup again. 90 calorie soup!!
Snack: I have limited my self to eat like a half of grapefruit if I get hungry or like a yogurt or something. I think one time I had hummus. But again; 60 calorie hummus with reduced fat wheat thins.
I am not a happy camper.
Oh and for almost 2 week straight I have done an hour of cardio (bike, treadmill, eliptical) every single day. Every day!! I am so mad. So I am thinking the weights gotta drop here sometime soon...because I literally have worked myself to death.
Maybe I will fast for like a day or two. Might be hard but I think I could do it. I've done it before a few years back. And I hear it's good for you to fast once a month every day. I just don't get it! I just don't!! Here I am trying to lose it the healthy way and end up gaining more weight than I ever have. I really am trying to be healthy.
Any advice?? I would love to hear your comments. They would be much help I am sure. Just don't tell me I am skinny enough already. I've heard that one to many times and it's not true.
I will weigh 103 by graduation if it kills me (August 7th). I will.

Does any of the food you are eating have fake sugar in it (i.e. sucralose, aspartame, splenda, etc.)? If it does, that can be triggering you to be hungrier than usual. Fake sugar makes your body think you are about to get calories, then you don't and your body freaks out, gets hungrier, cycle repeats...
Hope this helps!
After reading what you have been eating it sounds like your body has gone into starvation mode. This is a throw back to the cave man days when they were not sure where the next meal would come and so the body stored what ever they ate. My suggestion would be to eat a little more and doing 5 meals a day. Or go with a large bkft and good lunch and a light dinner if possible. (eat bkft like a king, lunch like a commoner and dinner like a poor person) I also did not see any protein or a whole lot of fat which the body needs both are need to process and keep your body healthy. Are you also getting enough water that will cause you to put on weight because you are retaining fluids. Starvation will only make it worse so please don't go that way. Also variate your exercise so that you are not working the same muscles each day. Like one day do aerobics the next day do weights. I hope this will help you. Mary
The thing is, if you drink a lot of water your body thinks its good so you lose all the water weight. I am def. not in starvation mode because Iam eating well. That was just this weeks current list because of my busy schedule. I eat tons of veggies like brocolli, carrots and cucumbers, and fruit and brown rice, etc. I am eating healthy. Also, the sugars thing is a no. I am eating stuff that does not have apartame and i NEVER use Splenda. Sugar is the devil. I also never drink soda or diet soda. So...that being said the only sugars that i get are natural and come from fruit. And i drink Soy Milk Light. I don't know what to do!!!
Maybe talk to a nutritionist... they'll look over what you are eating and can tell you what to change so that your body will start to lose weight instead of cling to it. Just a thought.
You may want to look into the cardio workouts you've been doing. Cardio workouts help keep the weight down, but if you've been running with an incline on the treadmill it may have caused your leg muscles to increase in mass. Meaning you've gained muscle. The same with the elliptical (because the elliptical is more for your legs, unlike the treadmill which works legs, but also works your entire body). I personally prefer the elliptical over the treadmill because it does so much for my legs. And an hour of that every day will make a big difference for your legs!
Hope that helps!
