flagchic's Journal, 04 January 2012

Day 4 of my diet/exercise regimen, and the days drag by. I feel like this whole week is just dragging.

I go to bed and the night hunger kicks in. I want dessert, or to snack, so badly around 10 pm or so. It's awful. I want the cravings to go away.

I try and remind myself that I am in charge of my body, and my body is not in charge of me. I try to feel empowered.

I hate the gym after work. Right now, my work out schedule is Sunday (day off), Monday (day off), Wednesday (go after work at 6), and Friday (after work at 6). Wednesday and Friday at 6, in essence, sucks. EVERYBODY is there at that time after work. All of the machines are taken. The skinny girl running her ass off next to me looks awesome and makes me feel like a whale. And then, it clears out around 6:30 or so. I like to make it to an hour or more, so I'm suddenly alone in there. In the dark, since it's winter and it's pitch black outside by 6. Creepy random guy wandering in and out. I left before I finished my bike cycle tonight just because I felt creeped out. Not fair to be a girl.

I need to keep on schedule. I don't like being in there that late, but I can't let it stop me. Just trying to keep going.

I just happened to see your journal entry pop up in the list. Have you looked into a low-carb diet? The idea being, eat foods higher in fat and protein --lower in carbs. The fat satiates you and causes you to be fuller for longer making it easier to have a calorie deficit to lose weight. I can feel the frustration in your post and just wanted to encourage you! If you're interested in more information check out http://reddit.com/r/loseit this is a community for people to get ideas on how to lose weight and also ask for advice. You don't have to do this alone :) Good luck!

Thanks for the motivation, I really appreciate it. I just re-read my entry from last night- wow, it was pretty negative, wasn't it?! I'll take your advice in fitting in more protein. Thanks!
