Something NOT so funny...is my weight..ready for update week #4. I quit. I didn't gain or lose this week. But you heard my gripes about last week...still more of the same. I am not throwing a pity party or anything..but I absolutely HATE the way I look. I love everything about my life, my husband, my kids, my family, my job, my new house, but I hate my body. I hate being short, I hate having three chins, and five bellies. It is my fault..yeah yeah I know...and Leo, I know you are going to be mad at me for saying all of this, but it is the truth. My weight is posing a serious health threat to me and I just don't think I will ever change. I diet: I am miserable. I am fat: I am miserable. I feel like "Fat Bastard" from Austin Powers who says "I eat because I am sad and I am sad because I eat" or something like that. I feel like a prisoner in my own body, my clothes are all too small and I refuse to buy bigger clothes. I don't know how to change these facts for me:1) I HATE to excercise
2) Healthy food tastes like crap
3) I love candy, sweets, sugar..it all makes me happy
4) I just plain enjoy eating..who doesn't?
I want to feel good about myself and I want to be healthy so I can be around for my kids. Any ideas? Please help before I need the use of a wheelchair to help get around.

Hang in there .... I am by my teeth right now. I think that I am a happier fat person. But DITO to all that you said. The only thing that works for me is to find an exercise I LOVE. For instance, I love to tap. Fat lady tapping; not cute. But I figure at least I am getting really good exercise and I don't have to perform. WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
Rachel, don't get too discouraged. For me, If i find myself in a slump with not exercising, i find someone to help motivate me. A friend, or my husband to get me out of the house and running. Sometimes it is just hard doing it yourself. I like what the Allfrey's said: about finding an exercise you love...I love running, so I will also set a goal for myself that I would hate to back out on, like signing up for a race and using that for motivation. But, mostly for me, it's making exercise fun by including someone else.
I know you can do it!
Hi Rach...
Yeah that is funny...I'm sure our parents would love to move Florida over there..close to UT and CO! But no more beach..I would be sad!
Don't be so hard on yourself. It always helps to have somebody to exercise with..I know Carissa has been going to yoga lately..you should give her a call.

I hate to exercise too...one thing that really helped me is joining the gym and joining the local racquetball league. You get lots of exercise but it doesn't "feel" like exercise because you're playing a fun game. Our gym has a beginners/novice league and yours probably does too.
wow, rach. i could have written this post! i totally know how you feel! i started walking a few months back. on my 15 minute breaks at work, i walked for almost 10 of them. it wasn't much exercise. and i usually had a friend walking with me so it made it easier. i ended up starting to lose weight, but i got lazy and quit walking. that's all i really did. it's amazing what happens when all you do is incorporate some type of exercise. even walking helps!
