thats just the sort of bold as balls no bulls**t i need to hear! its true i guess, i think im eating about 1200 calories a day and that a couple of hours moderate walking is enough to shift 10lbs, but the scales aint moving on me!
prob cause i dont count all the calories from the milk in the 15 cups of tea i drink and i forget to add on that glass of wine or those pesky liquorice allsorts i scoffed. I am always the 1st to say "its not rocket science, eat less move more", but i think i lost my way and caught up with the whole Stuuuuupid and unrealistic idea of looking like something off the cover of vouge which i both detest and deplore yet secretly would love to be. I think its just gona take a large helping of common sense and honesty, lying to myself aint gona shift that excess and a stroll with the dog isn't gona burn the fat. I know in my heart that i am NOT trying hard enough, its like a pathetic fultile attempt to convince myself Im doing well, when I'm not. If i want the body of a vouge model Im gona have to work DAMMED hard to get it and quite frankly, I do not think that is realistic, like you said, you have to be realistic in your approach to your ideal weight and given my build, a svelt, lean physique aint gona happen. I always compare it to horses, some horses are naturally thin long and lean like Arabs, some, are stockier and heavier yet just as healthy, like an irish draught! I....am an irish draught! i am NOT prepared to sacrifice my health in the long run for some stupid unachievable ideal that spurs from the sim[ple fact that i am insecure about my body image, when in fact, i am a perfectly healthy weight! nothing and i mean NOTHING can help me now other than some good old simple excercise.
Thank you for that post, Im at work and regretting last nights Liquorice splurge, kyou've really put it all back into perspective for me. Roll on 4:00 so i can go home and start to get fit!
