COME ONE, COME ALL [the venting thread]

deadmittens

Okay, so we can't all keep being hapy with butterflies and rainbows. Losing weight is HARD! And the mental frustration that comes with losing weight is something that only certain people can understand. You can't talk to your thin friends and say how upset you are that your body looks weird, or alien to you, because they don't seem to get it!

So I decided to make a thread where we can come and complain! Every other thread can be motivational, but sometimes you just have to let out your frustrations! We're all going through the same thing. Major weight loss isn't pretty sometimes, and you have to just let it out!



For example: I hate how my arms look like wings, and I hate how everyone keeps telling me my skin will be elastic and I will eventually look normal. Nope, I look like a deflated potato.

Now you try it!

I must say, the last thread I was on (worst negative comment you've received) nearly had me in tears at the memory until I saw your little flash video XDD.

I hate how all my skinny friends complain about their weight in front of me!!!!! I'm not huge... But they know I'm trying to lose weight. My closest friend was really upset that she had gone up to 135. I stared her down and reminded her that I was trying to GET DOWN to 135...

I LOVE the fact that I have lost 9lbs in 2 weeks but I HATE the fact that it has taken a toll on my knee and my put my exercise plan on hold. I am suppose to be feeling better, not worse!

my batwings are so bad like that!!! ugh.... when i do yoga and we have to hold our arm up in the air - stretching if overhead, the skin either touches my nose if I'm looking toward my arm or if I'm looking straight forward it actually lays against my ear and i cant hear. that's damn well disgusting.

my rant is about my support group.... my workout buddies have all been standing me up lately. if they don't want to come with me, ok.... just say so ahead of time. don't give me promises to show up then never show and avoid me later. that's just rude.

I HATE when my husband sits next to me, late at night, with a big honkin bowl (like, 2x-3x a normal portion size) of something not-even-remotely-healthy. I'm not a violent person, but I just wanna slug him.

First of all, this gif is so friggin funny!! LOL!

I hate that it's so easy to gain, relatively easy to lose, but so hard to maintain.

I hate the fact that 54lbs down and i'm still "chunky" i still look in the mirror and see a fair way to go.


I also hate the fact that i cant seem to lose anymore than 1lb a week and most weeks i'm lucky if i do that!!

grrr

I hate it when my skinny coworkers do that, too!! Uggghhh I wish I could be a professional eater.

I can relate to skinny friends complaining about their weight. Makes me feel sick. I'm also reslly annoyed there are no gyms or anything remotely close to where I live.

And my biggest vent at the moment is the fact I have this horrible cough that can last weeks so I'm gonna push through my workout vids, hacking and all. I had such a good first week..... scared to weigh in on wednesday because I had to stop working out on Thursday . After 10 lbs lost... if I see a gain I might just cry.

I hate that I can go along perfectly fine and be really content eating regular portions and healthy foods that I enjoy, and then all of a sudden I'm offered something unhealthy and I binge. It's not even because I'm hungry - it's because I act like I want to make sure I get a lot of it as if I have to horde it and store it because I will never have it again. My partner mentioned to me that I do this, that sometimes I eat really quickly and defensively, and I'm not sure why - I never had to worry about having food taken away from me. But when I binge like I did last night, I eat like it's the end of the freaking world.

I know I do it, I realize I do it WHEN I'm doing it, but I don't feel like I have control. The rest of the time I have control - and I just get so MAD at myself, because I know I won't feel well afterward. It isn't even about weight, I know I will just get SICK.

And I wish I could get up off my rear and go to the gym more often! I've been working out at home but for some reason the idea of dragging my butt to the gym is impossible.

The muscle soreness after starting my workouts videos. It's a good pain, and I know it's a sign of a great workout. But I still feel sore and grumpy :laugh:

I hate when I try to tell someone that I am unhappy with my weight and they reply "You're fine the way you are"
Did you not hear me I am UNHAPPY, I don't need your condescending bull****, especially when you talk about my weight behind my back.

I'm pissed at myself as I forced my body to run yesterday instead of listening to the twinge in my thigh and now I've given myself a serious injury. Doc says its an intramuscular contusion and sending me to a specialist on Thursday but until then to stay off it.

I can relate! I hate it when people tell me "you're not fat"... Um, okay. Do I just have too much overflow of skin? :laugh:

HATE it when my colleagues offer me something I don’t wanna eat (usually cookies, cakes, muffins… etc. the usual ‘tea-break’ stuff) and when I reject the offer, they make comments like “why don’t eat? You so skinny already, diet for what?” or go around telling others “look at her, underweight already still diet” (pardon the ‘Singlish’ – that’s how we informally speak here lol). Telling them that I’m simply not hungry or that I don’t even like to eat those stuff to begin with will be met with rolling eyes or more snarky remarks.

Well. I’m not skinny, neither am I underweight. I’ve never once told them I’m trying to lose weight. I did mention I’m trying to lose flab (my problem areas are the tummy, butt & thighs - I just cover them up pretty well with the type of clothes I wear but I cringe when I look at myself in the mirror lol), which is a totally different thing! The ‘mockery’, intentional or otherwise, irks me A LOT. Just cos they aren’t interested in doing anything about their health, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be doing anything with mine!

Ugh. I just think it’s pretty unfair to be getting such reactions, and I just got a few this morning when I refused to eat pineapple tarts (I don’t like them!).

I hate that I have had to deal with weight issues for my entire life. I hate that my five older brothers did and ate what ever they wanted and have never been overweight leaving me to be the fat kid in the family instead if the dainty little princess. Actually, I hate that I'm even posting this. Lol. But it does kinda feel good to vent. What a great thread. Grrrrrrrrrrr! Now let's all carry on. :drinker:

I hate the fact that the belly seems to be the last thing to go aside from the batwings of which I have both. I really hate the fact that although my youngest child is three years old - I STILL LOOK PREGNANT!!!:sad: :ohwell:

I hate that eventhough I'm losing weight I can't see a difference. Everyone else can but I can't!! Omg, I'm doing this for myself and I should be able to see the damn difference.

I hate that people want me to eat crap with them and when I don't join in they say "go on , one wont hurt" etc. and try to coax me into it. I don't like it - it's junk! I like good quality food!!! I'm not eating it.....
I just get more stubborn!
Then they complain to me about their fat *kitten*....

I can't stop at just one.

I hate that my husband was out doing yardwork today, then when he came into the garage, he walked right thru the center of MY half of the garage (carpeted) and, not realizing he'd stepped in dog poo outside, tracked it right down the center of my workout area. I politely pointed it out to him. He said "Oh, [loaded expetives]!! I'll clean it up." Well, his cleaning leaves a lot to be desired. So I cleaned up after he did; down on my hands and knees, scrubbing, sanitizing, blow-drying and vacuuming the carpet. I guess I should consider myself lucky that his legs are so damn long, resulting in fewer steps it takes him to get across a room. And that he stepped in the poo with only one foot rather than two. It took me 45 minutes to get it back to good again. I logged in 30 minutes of it as vigorous cleaning. I don't usually log ANY cleaning, but this one pizzed me off!

I love that gif. One of my friends has made multiple icons from it - we call her Cranky. :-)

I hate that after three months of doing really well sticking to my calorie goal, and exercising regularly, I'd still only lost 10 pounds.

Ten. That's within the 'margin of fluctuation', people. You know, that range where, add Aunt Flo and a salty dinner and you're up a few 'pounds', or take three days of feeling ill and not hungry and you're down a few 'pounds' - but none of that is 'real' weight....

After putting daily effort into it, to only have lost 10 pounds feels like I haven't actually lost anything at all - that it's just the fluctuation range messing with me. It's very demoralizing.

And I hate that, after setting my oven on fire, so I couldn't cook for a few days until I got a new one, I stopped worrying about counting calories 'strictly' until I could get back into a regular meal prep routine - I didn't binge at all, just didn't count....and I gained four 'pounds' in four days.

The heck?? Lose 10, hard-won, and GAIN four back in four days of not-even-that-heavy eating?

Is it any wonder I just want to chuck it all for a while.
