Losing Weight is a Pain in the Ass

by

I am in the process of losing weight and it is a pain in my ass. I literally weigh and measure my meals and eat nothing in-between. They are the ideal, healthy meals with with fruit, veggies, grain, and protein. And no, I have not been using french fries as a grain or hot dogs as a protein. Last week, my weight was down from 124 to 122 after 2 weeks - going at a good, healthy weight. This week, I am back up to 123.5. Annoying. My goal - 116. I have been that weight before and it is fine, so don’t send any judgements cause you only know your body best (hopefully, for your sake). I am pissed. I want to see the numbers go down. So, what am I doing, I am reducing my vegetables for lunch and dinner by 2 ounces. I have been having 14 oz of veggies for lunch and dinner (which is a lot), but my body has always been fine with handling that amount. Well, I guess my body is changing and I have to accept it. It just pisses me off. I am being so disciplined and have been using the power of positive thinking (yes, I follow The Secret) and my weight went up! It really is super annoying. Whatever. I will check in with the scale next week and should see positive results. Man, I am super pissed right now.
Now check out this lame video I found on youtube. What man cooks with his shirt off in the kitchen. Apparently, this dude does. … maybe if I cooked naked I would lose weight … hmmm … that’s a dumb idea.

About Eating Disorder Talk

The goal of Eating Disorder Talk is to encourage family and friends of people living with disordered eating - as well as sufferers - to learn more about the conditions, where to get help, the risks associated and another vessel of communication. I come with 20 years of experience living with (and sometimes for) anorexia; my job is not to cure, it’s to allow others to speak. This means wanting to help those that want help and to provide a voice to those who don’t.
