Journal Entry for July 22, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, July 22, 2008 | A General Update story
My goal is to lose weight...However, I've always had weight issues since I was a child..Like many others I have lost and gained back more countless of times...When I got on DC I made it my goal to finally lose the weight..But yesterday I was sad...I was feeling fat and was repulsed to look at myself in the mirror..I know it sounds ridiculous..but the feeling was strong...So I opted to starve myself the next day or at least as little as possible..Thinking this will help lose the weight fast...I know I had to look deep inside myself and overcome this obstacle that has been with me for years..I get self conscious about my body..My clothes are unattractive and I feel I am hiding in a shell when I go out..My thoughts betray me in this area and then I realized...My positive thoughts have to come through and break through this...I learned today as I starved myself..was that I didn't deserve to eat, I didn't deserve to be beautiful and do nice things for myself...I was punishing myself ..I do believe it was God who showed me this...I asked the Lord to forgive me for not taking care of the outside of me...I know I am working on the inside of me and making myself more beautiful on the inside but know its time to work and making the oustide me more confident and more beautiful...First step is just eating smaller portions because I need to eat to live, second exercise for my heart and thirdly, I am going to buy myself pretty clothes and feel pretty in them...and put on some makeup..I aim to feel good about me and my body now..I am beautiful!

    I saw a nutrionist about 8 months ago. I was referred by my dr. When I talk with the nutrionist she recommended that I start with losing my weight slowly. I had gained a small amt of weight due to the prednisone. Well, she recommended that I stay under 1200 calories per day on food and 200 calories per day for snack. She recommended that I continue exercising, drink 8 glasses a water per day faithfully and limited my fruit drinks. I did all that along with exercise. I was very patient with myself and tried not to get dicouraged. As a result I got the results I wanted. It took a little time. So, what I would recommend you to do is see a nutritionist, be patient with yourself and see what she she says. Sometimes, all it takes is just a little guidance and endurance. I know you can do it!! I hope the best for you. Be encouraged and do not lose hope.
