I was listening to the radio last week and a lady was on talking bout how she lost a bunch of weight. She was over 300 lbs and lost it all. She said that she didn't give up the food she likes to eat and that she hates vegetables and 'diet-y' types of foods. (woman after my own heart!) She wrote a book about it and of course I can't remember the title or the woman's name.
Another time, I was listening to the radio to two guys who were nutritionalists. They said that cutting down your calories to lose weight was a myth. Huh? Really? What's that about? The idea is to burn more than you take it, so what's the deal? I went to their site and found nothing on this subject. (go figure)
As you can probably tell, I'm slowly starting to think about trying this again but I already feel defeated. I simply cannot choke down food I hate for a long period of time without snapping and raiding my favorite aisle at the grocery. But then I watch those shows on Discover Health channel of those really obese people who are bed-ridden and I think to myself that I could be on my way and it scares me!
You might say "controlled portions" but the portion size has never been a problem. I actually cannot eat that much - I get full quickly. So maybe I just have to move more. But the last time I did this, and every time before that, I hit that plateau and cannot seem to break it no matter what I tried. And that's why I feel defeated before I start. All I know is that something's got to change.
Don't mind me, I'm just sulking right now and getting this off of my chest. Blogging this helps me to face it and I've been avoiding this for a long time now. Just look at the amount of time between my posts.

I'm Still Here
It's been awhile since I posted. Wanna know why? Because I got a job making it virtually impossible to get into an exercise routine in order to lose fat. Sound like an excuse? Maybe. All I know is that at the end of the day, I'm exhausted and I don't feel like doing anything.I was doing so well before but since then I have gained back what I lost. I wasn't working before and I had a lot of time to focus on meals and exercise but I don't have that anymore. But many other people lose weight and they have bigger obstacles than me so I should be able to do it. I just don't know how. How do you ladies, and gents, find the energy to exercise when your plate is full during the day???? I would really like to know. Do you just muddle through it?
No matter what, I have to get this weight off because the problems I had before are coming back: mobility issues and trouble standing for long periods of time.
First things first - got to get a new scale. The one I have is so hi-tech, that I can't figure out how to change the metric setting on it and it's driving me crazy. I need to get a regular digital scale.
Also, got to get over this cold so hopefully I can start next week some time.
Any advice you can give about exercising while being tired would be appreciated. Please tell me how you do it. Thanks.
