Just what I needed

Do you like when people notice your loss? Or does it bother you?

I ran into a guy I hadn't seen since I've lost weight the other day when I was feeling particularly craptastic about a 2 lb gain. When he saw me he looked shocked, and said, "You look fucking AMAZING!" Like three times, ha. That day I was feeling so down on myself, it really helped, and now I've passed the 3 days on plan point and am on day 4, which means I'm officially back on the perfectly on plan track.

I know some people hate being noticed, but I must say it made me feel like people, whether they say anything or not, have to be noticing by now.

On plan and at the gym:

I went to the gym yesterday for 45 mins. I'm going again on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm doing a liquid fast today. Protein drinks and fresh juice. Just for today though. Next week I will try and do two days. I just need to buy more fruit and veggies. But I should be able to get by with carrots and apples for just today.

How is everyone else doing? I've been trying to catch up on some blogs and have noticed people struggling all around the same time. Hope everyone is picking back up now too! :)

    :) It's so great when people notice without prompting. I was always disappointed when people didn't notice but my sister says people are just being polite and nervous about mentioning it. It was only when it was seriously noticeable that people blurted it out before they could censor themselves!

    Have a wonderful week! Great job planning your workouts :)

    Enjoy your liquid day!

    I used to hate when people noticed, but now I like it. Other than the person who was a total clod and said that he thought it was great I was doing so well because most obese people don't make an effort like I am. Ummmm...yeah. That pissed me right off.

    I have been struggling too sometimes, I admit, but hopefully will be fully back on track soon. I don't go seriously over my calories, and I certainly don't do it every day, but I want to get back to eating mid-range consistently again.

    I'm so glad you are back on track. I have been struggling big time the past few weeks and am starting to get back on track myself.

    PS - I like it when people notice I have lost weight. ;)

    safire, that's true some people think it's rude. Cuz it makes it sound like you looked bad before if they say how great you look now. ;)

    renee, that is horrible, people are so rude. Hope you're eating is going well!

    135, thanks, I feel ya it's been hard, I'm so ridiculous starting my day with carbs, it was a total slip up I didn't see coming what would happen! Annoying. :(

    and yeah it's nice eh? I ran into friends the other day that I hadn't seen in a yearand they were so shocked, it was cool. :)

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious.  He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.)  Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone.  Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways.  I think it can help a lot of peop...

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."

I looked at this blog for the first time in two years the other day. I wanted to reference a post in another piece of writing. I had completely forgotten that I had revamped this site, and I like its look now. I do honestly miss writing here. So, I might try and liven the joint up a bit. Check back soon! Where am I now? I am going for a physical next Friday. It will be the first one I've had in a year and a half.  I have been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds my entire life, it seems. I have had some severe health issues in the last couple of years, like heavy shit that I'm not going to bore you with right now. Either way, my immune system decided to go bust. I have spent close to a year trying to improve it. I'm eating pretty healthy, I take vitamins now, and immune-boosting gummies, and zinc and blah blah blah. I was also suffering from chronic dehydration. Don't let yourself get there kiddie winkies. It's a bad time. I have spent the last three months or ...

Cookbook giveaway! (Appetite for Reduction) Enter now!

This contest is for U.S residents only: Okay, so I have a few ideas for some giveaways that I'm planning on doing over the next few months. This is the first one, the next one I'll do once I hit 100 followers cuz it's a bigger prize and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to enter and spread the word. Contest Deadline: Starts now (April 12th) Ends before midnight (eastern time) April 22nd 2011 For now, I will be giving away a copy of my favorite cookbook, Appetite for Reduction , by Isa Chandra Moskowitz  << Her website. The Prize: This book is amazing, a lot of non-vegans think that vegan cookbooks are all full of strange ingredients that are only available at health food stores, but that isn't the case with this book. It has simple recipes made with easy to find and prepare ingredients and nearly everything in the book is between 200-400 calories per serving, and the servings are a good size. I've made many fabulous dishes from this b...
