I have called a counseling services and they are going to call me back, I want to have an intake to talk to them about my issues with body image and low self confidence due to my weight. I hope they call me back soon.

    Sigh I'm upset, it's been an hour and they haven't called me back yet....I feel so ugly and I really don't want to keep doing 30 day shred today but I have to....I really don't want to get back into plank position.....

    Good, I think this is the best thing you could do. There is obviously some underlying problem which is not a physical one. You really need to get that sorted out as a matter of urgency because torturing yourself into doing exercise when you are ill and dizzy is not a good idea in any way.

    My thoughts and best wishes are with you and I hope you find the strength to make peace with yourself and your body, and that you learn to be kind to yourself.

    As of yesterday:

    I didn't think I needed to lose weight until my friend's comments :/

    I'm feeling quite dizzy every time I start to exercise today but have to truck through!
    I'm in the middle of Insanity: Cardio Recovery and tonight I have to do 30 Day Shred Level 3.
    At least I have already done my cycling and walking for the day....

    Be sure to mention these a long with all of the other deragotory things you said about yourself. I don't know you or your situation but I don't think it's body image you need to worry about as much as confidence and a support system. Honestly, you seem obsessive and/or attention seeking.. they might take awhile to call you back but they will, and if not, go get seen at an actual therapist or doctor since you're also probably starving yourself if you're getting dizzy a month into what appears to be an extraordinary amount of physical activity - Cycling, walking, Insanity and 30DS3 in one day?!

    Thank You so much for Your kind words and thoughts, Tilly! The counselor is going to call me tomorrow afternoon apparently. Hope she knows what to do about this...

    Smile for me, she's going to call me so I'm not sure if it's just to set up an appointment or if she will ask what problems I am going through. Yes, I do hope that some people will read and pay attention to my posts (thank You for taking the time to do so!), on a forum it's nice to interact with people. Usually I also do a 45 min DVD called Killer, which is like a Polish version whose difficulty is between 30 Day Shred and Insanity. But today because I was dizzy I forced myself to skip Killer.

    She was supposed to call me by 6 pm today but hasn't done so...I've had to stay at home all day waiting for her call...Frustrated.

    I'm sick and tired of waiting at home for a non existent call. I think I'm just going to go and get on with my evening.
