Not to mention, i know i had a very overweight co-worker and it was awful seeing him. Not because it was ugly, but because he was such an awesome guy, and you just know that hes heading for a heart attack. I alway felt bad and stink myself. Yep, did try talking to him, but as you are probably aware, hes got to make that choice Captain on "Over 50 kgs to loose - Diary of Anewme" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/over-50-kgs-to-loose-diary-of-anewme#post-713 Mon, 24 Jan 2011 08:15:00 +0000 Captain 713@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ I know how you feel about the "employment" thing. About 7 years ago I was 136 kg. I was 19 and couldn't get a job. I tried those meal replacement shakes that had just come out on the market and in 9 months I lost 52 kg. I applied for the same job I had applied for earlier in the year, with the same CV and got the job the next day, nobody even knew I was the same person. Simple fact, nobody will hire a fat person when there is a slim person available to do the same job. As a side note, those meal replacement shakes DO WORK... but you have to be very disciplined AFTERWARDS to maintain the weight loss. My presence on this web site proves that. By the end of 2003, I was 84kg, by the end of 2008 I was back to 136kg. It's all about your mind. Calling yourself a fat pig is only going to make you feel bad, there is a difference between accepting the truth and insulting yourself. My mindset now, is ten times stronger than it was 7 years ago. I have achieved and am achieving steady weight loss by eating normal food in sensible proportions combined with daily exercise.

I have a mental mindset and need to break the mindset about losing weight? I don't even know why I am doing this to myself. Everytime I mentally say I am going to do something about my obesity. I go into reverse and do the opposite. I PIGGED OUT MAJORLY today; brought 3 x crabsticks; 1 cream doughnut; 1 milk drink; and scoughed the lot within 15 minutes. Only yesterday I was reading an article on filling out a sheet of paper for 'when I eat' it has the time, date, how I felt before and after, what I ate, why I ate when I did....etc and I have joined fitday; and I have told people I am taking control; and I have taken the first step and came back onto this website today to say how I feel. tomorrow I need to take control; at least one good thing can come about today; I wrote down what I did; usually I HIDE what I do and PRETEND it never happened. I will move on from here and move forward. To get employment I can not be size 26-28. People won't employ FAT people. That is life. anewme on "Over 50 kgs to loose - Diary of Anewme" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/over-50-kgs-to-loose-diary-of-anewme#post-592 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:12:11 +0000 anewme 592@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ :)thanks.

Maybe it is mind over matter; but it even tastes better too. I have even made my own pasta for the whole family of (6) and spoken to others about recipes. Here is hoping? Next time I log in - tomorrow I will be putting in my body measurements again and getting back on to the BUS to move my BUTT - LOL Captain on "Over 50 kgs to loose - Diary of Anewme" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/over-50-kgs-to-loose-diary-of-anewme#post-523 Mon, 17 May 2010 20:25:42 +0000 Captain 523@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ If you want some good "free" exercise... Try squats and forward/sideways lunges. Do a set of 10 each a few times a day or something. Very simple to do, regardless of your size, my bride-to-be knows ALL about lunges, hehe. It seems easy at first, but about 5 into it, and you'll be sweating all over. Burns a lot of calories too. If your knees and feet can take it, try using a skipping rope on a daily basis. The first time you use the rope you'll probably only last 5-10 seconds, (that's what happened to me) but keep at it and a week later you'll be away laughing. Within a month you'll be able to go for 5 minutes and then think to yourself, "shouldn't I be tired by now?". Food choices are the obvious key. Bacon and eggs are fine, depending on how you cook them. Grill the bacon (no butter or oil required) and boil the eggs (they retain more of their goodness that way). No food is bad, just be mindful of how you prepare it and what other options you have. You could have a couple of biscuits for a snack, or an apple... but which one WON'T you regret as soon as you've finished it, which will fill you up more, which will take longer to eat? The way I stopped eating biscuits was to bake them... sounds odd doesn't it? Well, when you know what's in a cookie... a pound of butter and three cups of sugar... it really turns you off. Or simply don't buy them anymore. Drink plenty of water. Some people say that you shouldn't weigh yourself. This is true to a certain point. When you are as overweight as we are (I was 126kg in January), the easiest way to see progress is on the scale. You will be losing FAT, sure you'll gain muscle, but when you're 120kg+ the fat will drop off. Measuring is good, but it is very difficult to be consistent if you measure too frequently. Once a month should be sufficent to eliminate the uncertainties of the measuring tape (like where you put it around your body, how tight etc) it can be very innacurrate. You're going very well though, keep at it!

So now I have to make the effort to do the same at home. This is no excuse; as I can not rely solely on a gym; I need to get past the mind set.

Definitely taking note of what I am eating and have noticed that I have not been eating enough for my body to survive. This has allowed my body to be in starvation mode for so long that it is in shock having to eat so much food. My goal of minimum 20 minutes a day for exercise has far exceeded and gives me good feelings I can do this.
