Dieting chat

when instead of enjoying a bacon cheeseburger and fries, you wish you had one of your diet meal shakes

I've been dieting too long

Heather! I do that too, but mines from guilt.

I wish mine was from guilt, but nooooo . . . I was actually prefering the taste of the shake over the burger

Of course, maybe it's the fact I use the chocolate protein powder and throw a handful of frozen strawberries into the mixer with it

That might have something to do with it.

Sounds good to me Heather! I don't know what the problem is!

It just seems alllllll wrong that one would prefer something healthy over something all bad for you

Good thing, though, about it is that I'm losing 3-5 pounds a week And hopefully my blood tests Monday will show a change (I'm pre-diabetic)

I choose a lot of healthy stuff over junk food, mainly cuz I can only picture what it does to your insides, ewww. I started at the gym 2 weeks ago, there's days where I don't want to go, but after I do go, I'm so glad I did and I feel so good after.

I think my scale does this when I weigh once a week.

LOL Ann!!! I personally don't own a scale and don't get on one!!!

As skinny as you are, you dont need to! If I dont weigh, it bugs the crap out of me.

Good for you too!!! its hard to be motivated sometimes but working out is so addicting! I didn't have class tonight so i was able to go! i feel so much better!!!

It's weird; it is so very hard to get myself to the gym, but once I'm there I enjoy myself and really get into the workout.

Could it be 'cause youre looking at muscular men? That would definitely get me motivated!

I really have to get back to my running. Bad thing about the winter is that it gets dark before I get home and it's not a good idea to go by myself.

I am too self conscious to go to gyms so running around my neighborhood is the best thing for me.

I don't blame you for not running at night. You could go on Sat/Sun during the day.

I understand about the gym! just plug in your ipod and run...and don't pay attention to creepy looks from weirdos then you'll be fine!

I need to get back into my old shape again and fit into my skinny jeans...everyone has that one pants that they have to get into right? he he
