.....about weight loss.

I was thinking yesterday about things I used to believe. I'll start: I thought that all skinny people were just walking around with their stomachs held in :laugh:

    Oh, and of course the standard "I'm happy with the way I look, I'm obviously just curvy" no dear, no. Curvy is when you have defined rounded lines in places.....not lots of rolls ;)

    It's only a little bit it won't hurt ( talking about junk food) or I deserve to be treated, and also " oh who cares just eat it you are fat already anyway"

    I too used to blame genetics, My mum was big and she is one of 9 children and all my aunties and uncles are all classed as obese. I thought it was just the way I was supposed to be.

    Haha, that reminds me of Jaffa Cakes - advertised as 1g of fat per one (ofc I never looked at the calorie count) and thought, "hell yeah, only 1g of fat - I'll eat SHED LOADS" lol!!

    Oh yeah, ofc, genetics :D

    Yes same here.

    I would stand on the scales and say oh I've only put a pound on thats nothing but normal fluctuations...except it soon adds up when its a pound a week!!!! (slighty exaggeration maybe...)

    "I work hard at work and home, so this is my treat!"--but meanwhile, my "reward" left me exhausted, emotional, and dependent!

    Also, "I weigh so much that I'll burn this cheeseburger off just by living!"-- ha! I know that to be so untrue now.

    "Who cares what I look like? I have a husband who loves me."

    Stupid, stupid, stupid. Now I have to work my *kitten* off because I "thought" I didn't care.

    my husband has a really small appetite - no he just eats reasonable portions.

    a large pizza is a single serving plus garlic bread obviously

    cut protein portions to lose weight

    I can't control my weight

    I don't like exercise

    Love em, keep them coming guys :bigsmile: I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought a variety of slightly strange things about weight loss :laugh:

    And even now when I speak to my parents about my weight it's "ah yes, but you're naturally densely boned" no, no I'm not - I'm fat! lol!

    It's amazing the knowledge you uncover on this journey imo!

    Yeah, that was part of my problem too - as I'm often on my feet in my job I thought it gave me free license to eat whatever I liked - even if my evenings hobbies were just playing computer games! doh -.-

    Totally!!

    I remember saying to my husband (when he said we should start exercising together, bless him, i think he meant "you should get off your *kitten* before you have a heart attack going up the stairs") "but I don't like to sweat" ROFL!

    That it is possible to do 15 minutes worth of exercise to work off a slice of cheesecake.
