    Well the next 5-6 weeks are going to be a killer for me. My trainer has aspiration that I don't know if I can meet. So far since I started working with her in Feb I am down 21 lbs, 5% body fat and 15 inches. Well she wants to pump that up and the goal is 18 lbs, 3% body fat and 5 inches in 5-6 weeks. This is almost 4 lbs a week and in the middle of it I have friends coming to town for Memorial day /the Coca-cola 600 and I know we are going to be out having fun and tailgating. I already plan on working out everyday but one of the days they are here but the calories are going to be scary to maintain. Wish me luck!

    I just thought I'd share this with my PSBs cause I know I've made mention in the past about going through a break up... But I've recently started talking to someone new. He's really sweet and makes me smile constantly. And one of the best parts? He too started a weight loss journey after his last relationship, so he understands what I'm going through and encourages me. :) Hopefully, it will continue to go well because I love this feeling and am excited about things to come!

    I don't know why but all day today I have been kinda down and depressed and a little *****y. I know that I am susposed to start my period anyday now. But I have never gotten this effect from my period like I'm feeling now. I don't know if its a mix of my period, stress, my weight problem. But it sucks I don't want to feel this way. I wanna be happy. It could also be from when I did the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD and hurt my muscles and wasn't able to do the workout for this week like I wanted to. I feel like I let myself down and Plus Size Barbies. I wasn't able to complete our challenge this week. I know tomorrow is a new day and next week is a new week. But its just I really hate myself for failing so much. I can't seem to get past week 1. I feel like I'm the only one. I see all these people doing it. I want to be healthy SO BAD. But at the same time its like I'm scared to be skinny. I have always been fat. Its like my little blanket. I feel so hugh and UGLY. My boyfriend says I'm beautiful and he loves me the way I am. But I don't even see how he can touch someone that looks like me! I want to throw up when I think about myself.

    You have NOT disappointed me! Everyone has down days and weeks. It's normal. You sound so much like me, it is scary! It has not been too long that I was saying almost the exact same thing. All I can say is that everything will click for you, and good things will start happening. It might not be today or tomorrow, but soon it will happen. Keep your head up and your eye on your goals. We are all here to offer you support. Vent anytime you need to!!

    I have TOM starting today and feel the same way you do. Instead of going to the gym I took a nap. You did not let us down. Everyone goes through their body issues. I was talking to a friend that has lost 80 lbs last night and she was looking at pictures from 2 years ago and was disgusted with herself. Even though she was pretty then she is beautiful now she still gets those same feelings. There is still 4 days left in the week and you can still hit a high number of exercise calories might not be the total of the goal but what ever you do is more then you were doing before.

    Hang in there Hun:flowerforyou: I hear you I think and feel the exact same way.:cry: It's not fun and it makes you even more depressed. But you can do this and you deserve this! 1 day at a time. We all are going to have good days and bad days. I had a bad week last week, but it doesn't matter what happened today, you can always do better tomorrow, and you will!

    Put a smile on and remember you are worth it!!!!:heart:

    Good Morning Plus Size Barbie’s... I just wanted to let all of you know that it is so wonderful to have people to talk to about my weight loss journey. I also thought I was alone and it's nice to know people do think the same way as I do about my body imagine. It makes me think there is hope and with us together we can ALL do this!!! I just thought I would share this...:blushing: :blushing

    Morning Barbies! I just wanted to jump in and say THANK YOU! I am not the best about actively posting, but I follow along everyday and still feel a connection to the women in this group. I read a post about someone describing their bad day, or week and all I can think is did I write this??? So again, thank you to everyone for sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly!!!!

    Great job! I've only burned about 500 calories all week.

    Working like this (12+ hours day then dinner out with co-workers) I have to sacrifice exercise or sleep, and I just can't sleep any less than the 5-6 hours I'm getting now. Can't wait to get home tomorrow! A little freaked out to step on a scale for the first time in 10 days Sat morning. Could be really good or really bad news. :ohwell:

    At home I'm stuck at a desk all day. I hoping that the hours that I spend on my feet down here have added up some burnt calories that I'm not counting.
