Nutritionist Meeting today
Hi all,
First of all, kudos to the cool goal reaching done this week, congrats folks!!!! I got a great tip, for every pound I reach toward my goal, I've set aside two dollars into my "skinny gal" dress fund. I had the nutritionist first meeting today. She went over my food diary, and we found "creeping" caloric stuff that I hadn't noticed before. Although my calorie take is about right at 1100 to 1300 calories a day, my bad fats intake is higher, and thats affecting the number of fat grams that gets burned off daily. So, we're working on streamlining my live-it. She recommended I only lose six pounds, and stay around 124 - 126 pounds, but we've built a chart of the weight gain over the last six months, and with an increase of two pounds per month, after being at a plateau for two years, she's concerned I'm not burning calories properly. So, blood work can help figure out why. For others who are battling long term illness, depression, etc. what have you been able to do to help motivate you during times of intense pain? That's been my biggest issue. thanks Cathe |

That's been my biggest issue. thanks Cathe For me, it's been the strong inner desire to never be obese again. I've had some health issues that have interfered with my ability to lose weight (though apparently I'm just a drama queen now). I also did a pretty radical and extreme diet (another drama queen thing apparently) after 25 years of unsuccessful weight loss attempts and had some ill effects of that which I've had to overcome and work on my metabolism. It would have been really easy to give up after the first few months, even after 9 months, but I just chose to continue to pursue my goal and find my way around the obstacles and I've seen some big improvements lately. I also found a fantastic support system of some very bright, successful people that didn't pretend they knew everything and provided me with some mega encouragement that really helped me to not give up on myself. Sounds like your visit with the nutritionist was successful so far. I hope that it works out for you! Jenn |

I don't take much personally when character is attacked on line... I've learned that when I meet people in person, they often change tone completely, or I'm misunderstanding them until I hear how they put things in person. I'm glad you're getting some great support. It sounds like you're moving in the right directions. C |
