If you have time to post, you have time to work out, IF that is what you choose to do.

So you have small kids at home, put them in a wagon or stroller and go walk. PLAYING is exercise!!! Go to the park with them and play.

I cannot run due to a medical condition, but I find other ways to work out. Most of mine is just that....WORK! I buck bales, and pound fence posts, brand cows and any number of other things that a small farm requires!!! It all works out the body. One does not have to travel to a gym to work out.

And if you have time to post and moan about it, then you have time, plain and simple......regardless which side of that Mason Dixon you are on!!!

Exactly Kat.

People post their own private pity parties and turn savage when they dont like your practical advice. I'm busy too - 3 kids, a job, full time study, a house, a husband that's gone at 7 am and not home till 8 pm and I find the time to exercise. But that's somehow different becuase I'm *lucky*. I *like* to exercise.

Huh? Even if I could swallow that, it drives me crazy when people insist on thinking that I'm telling them its running or nothing. I run becuase I like running, everyone else doesnt have to! Just exercise!

Then they turn round and say that that kind of blunt, practical advice isnt helpful. How is mollycoddling someone helpful? Perhaps the fact that people cant take sensible advice must *might* be part of their problem?

I think some personality types just enjoy being sad and sorry.

Some people love being the person who says "I'd love to exercise and eat right, but my car broke down, and my cat died, and when I was six I got chicken pox. Exercise is impossible because of it, and it also means I can only eat cheetos and drink coke" :angry:

I am just tired of being given shit for being the person who loves to say "I kicked my obesity in the ass, and have regained my health and fitness! It takes work, but I did it"

But meh. Human nature just sucks I am afraid.

How did I miss this originally? I don't do "greens" either and ditto on pasta! I do like fried chicken though, unfortunately. I do NOT however do gravy - blech!

Well - I do like Zaxbys and it is fried - so I lied, but I can't eat it now so that's a good thing! But KFC and my grandma's (sorry grandma - looking towards the heavens) fried chicken - I just can't stand the greasy skin. Pull it off the bone and chuck the skin. I'm good to go!

As for gravy - I can't do it either. I guess (back to grandma), seeing it in a congealed state is nasty. Lard (and she made it with good old fashion, clogging your arteries Lard) isn't pretty cold. It makes me nautious just thinking of it.

Color me "guilty" -- I do often whine about not losing faster, and the truth is, I have no one to blame but myself. My results HAVE been phenomenal by a lot of standards, but could have been WAY better by now.

I know all too well that I have NOT exercised nearly enough and have TOO OFTEN put the wrong things in my mouth, even if the quantity was significantly less.

I'm sufficiently contrite. In fact, I'd decided to blow off the gym today, but I'm gonna log off and get dressed and go.

Thanks for the kick-in-the-pants. I needed it.

I love me some Zaxby's as well! And eww, you used the word congealed. Gross!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
