Blimp to Bombshell: RawrGirl's Weight Loss Diary

[lookingforme]

RawrGirl is a scale addict. She would visit demon scale everyday even though her official weigh-in was Friday mornings.

THIS has to be the worst habit i ever picked up and im almost out of it this first week, fingers crossed i will reap the rewards of not wieghing, im certainly more conciouse of what im eating as when i wieghed daily i thought well im only that much in wieght can have that freddo.
So Monday mornings to me can be like christmas morning if I can hold back long enough.
Thats what ive been missing so much the excitement the not knowing and life has been quiet dab without it lol

RawrGirl wants to be thin/fit so that...

she looks good in photos
she's confident in bed with Prince Charming
she enjoys clothes shopping for the first time in her life
she loves attending socials with friends and feels great in her outfit
she feels and looks feminine and graceful
she can enjoy watching movies without feeling self-conscious of skinny actresses
she can buy/wear stunning dresses and outfits
she feels confident and beautiful
she can enjoy the summer without hiding in pants
she can enjoy pool parties and going to the beach
she feels beautiful, elegant, and graceful when figure skating, esp performing a routine


What RawrGirl hates most about being chunky:

The way she looks in pictures
Feeling shame while watching movies
Hiding under the sheets or in the dark
Cringing when she discovers she's been tagged in a photo
Avoiding socials because she either looked like a blimp in loose fitting clothes or a squashed sausage in fitted clothes
Feeling awkward and clumsy
Feeling self-conscious and full of shame
Avoiding malls, dressing rooms, shopping, and mirrors in general
Avoiding any situation that puts her in a bathing suit
Passing a mirror and realizing she looked like a sloppy blob
Only buying clothes from Walmart of Goodwill
Feeling like a blob on the ice
Dreading family gatherings and wishing she could hide


RawrGirl's Rewards for reaching her goal:

A new dress for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas
Getting a boudoir photo shoot for her Prince Charming
Building an amazing wardrobe (as finances permit)

LOVE how you have done this list above i shall do one my self later..my trouble is i forget to do these things and this seems such a motivator.

The only thing i could sya to you hun after 3 pages read....(i will read more each day and catch up)
I lived with a parent who wouldnt allow make up or fashion, i was teased at shcool.
I came home to find make up that i did have in the bin and i broke my heart on my knees going through rubbish to find it.

I became a punkand had great extroverted vision for fashion....where i may be now... i could may have been the next fashion mogle.

Its awfull what parents can do to us, i only leart in 2011 how to be happy or as happy as possible. We all have history past that wighs us down so complete and utter happiness is something that i feel is not reachable.

So accepting my life baggage my happiest was 2011 and it only came when i found m inside me, i worked on me, i built me and while doing that i introduced foods and exercise.

I found a place where no one esles opionin mattered, i didnt notice flaws in other people so not only did i accept myself i accepted the world and life as it was.

I do a positive action forsomeone eachday if the oppurtunity arises, I look after my family and friends ( very few) aquinatances are many.

The mind change came with a very strong self belief, independant and assured value that...if im not how you like me then DO ONE because i like me very much and i deserve to be at peace to enjoy me for me.


So huni Please do what you are doing for you...maybe your muffin tops are part of you.
We can exercise and keep fit to spend more time with our families and friends and be stronger to live indpendant in older age, but at the base of us all, is what we are and who we are and thats something that we should not ever try to change. My journey to find that started inwards.

Hope yu have a great day hun and will read more later XXXXX

Wow, you're stunning!!!! Don't let anyone tell you're not x

Thank you, you are very sweet. And Prince Charming agrees with you. It's RawrGril that doesn't see it. But she is confident she will when she reaches goal.

Diet/Fitness Entry: Thursday

RawrGirl's hips were very sore yesterday, which she discovered was from practicing a Waltz jump (figure skating...it's the first jump you learn with only half a rotation. You jump off the left foot going forward, half turn in the air, and land on right foot going backwards). Rawrgirl only gets about 3 inches in the air (a guess) and lands about a foot a way (she knows for sure), which is very pathetic. But just as RawrGirl goes to leap, her brain shouts: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? THIS IS A VERY FOOLISH IDEA! which naturally makes RawrGirl hesitate at the very last second, and her "jump" is quite pathetic. But anyway, her hips were sore all day and she wasn't sure why until she wondered if it was that, and did one in the kitchen while cooking dinner, and sure enough, both hips ached. So...hopefully they just need to get stronger; RawrGirl will get over her fear of jumping; and her waltz jump with gain some height and distance.

Anyway....

DIET

Breakfast: Protein Shake

Lunch: Protein Shake

Supper: Chicken BBQ w/ Cheddar Quesadilla

FITNESS

Cardio: Nill

Strength Training: Lower Body (and really had to push herself to do the second set as she was really feeling lazy)

Flexibility: Stretch Routine

 

[squishymcfatterson]

Well done on pushing yourself! It can be so tough! That's why I go to kickboxing classes now- I can't just stop halfway trough, even if I want to.

Hope your hips feel better soon! Sign of old age eh?! Hee Hee! And i'm sure your jumps are great. From someone who Ice-skated age 2-3 but wouldn't even contemplate it now because I'd fall over in a second! Happy Friday x

RawrGirl's Measurements

So RawrGirl was not planning on taking measurements as she feared this would have disastrous results, but is feeling very down today after several days of stressful altercations with her teenage son, so she decided since she now fits into her size 10 Old Navy jeans, they must have gone down. So....

When you see a ?, it means RawrGirl is guessing. She never measured her hips properly in the past (thought it was widest font measurement, but only recently discovered it's widest side measurements -- meaning one turns sideways and measures around their body where the bum sticks out the furthest). Also, I don't often measure my thighs and arm as they lose the slowest, and I find it discouraging to see them not change much.

Date	April 2010	May 2010	Jan 2011	July 2011*
Weight	172	162	152	143
Waist	34	32	31	30?
Navel	41	41	40	39.5?
Hips	43?	42?	41	40?
Arm	13.25	13.25	12.5	12.5?
Upper Thigh	25	25	24	24?

*July 2011 -- these measurements are based on today's measurements as I didn't do them last year, as I was waiting for 142lb and never made it.

April 2012: 162 -- Size 10 jeans would not button. Resumed Atkins.

Summer 2012: Prince Charming took away the scale. Aug 24, I started VLCD.

Date	July 2	July 13	July 20	July 27	~ Aug 24 ~	Aug 31	Sept 14	Sept 28	Oct 12	Oct 26	Nov9	Nov23
Weight	162?	158?	155?	155?	150?	148?	143?
Waist	32.5	31.75	31.25	31.25	30.75	30.5	30
Navel	39	38.5	37.5	38	37.75	36.5	36.5
Hips	41.5	41.5	40.75	40.75	40.75	40.75	40
Arm	13						12.5
Upper Thigh	24.75		24.25	24.5			24

Rawrgirl is now only going to take her measurements every other week, as she thinks it could get discouraging to see just .25 lost.

RawrGirl is very encouraged overall, as it took her 11 weeks to get from 153-143 doing WW and jogging 3 mi a day, (and that's as low as she got because she was so burned out),whereas on VLCD, it only took her 4 weeks! (And she ate pizza and other goodies on the first 2 weekends!) On Atkins, she could never get below 147.

RawrGirl is still suspicious that she is really 143, without a scale to confirm it, but she tried on an outfit that she wore (and has a pic of) from last year when she was 143, and it fits the same.

Still, she is almost afraid to update her stats...for fear it's a lie. She doesn't want the scales back yet. Not at all! Not having the scales is one of the best thing that ever happened to RawrGirl! But she doesn't want to think she is thinner than she is. Perhaps RawrGirl is obsessing about this too much.

Good Morning! How are you?

It is old age. Sometimes RawrGirl is dumbfounded that at 33, she choose a sport that one usually retires from at age 19. Also, the MAXIMUM weight for a figure skater is 135 as you do NOT want more weight than that to come down on your knee (from jumps, let alone falling). RawrGirl's knees have cracked since her teens, and sound like rice crispies every morning. RawrGirl fell on them ALOT for the first 6 months (her legs were covered in bruises, and one particular fall kept her off the ice for weeks as she could put no weight on her knee). RawrGirl now wears gel ballet knee pads under her pants. She's found this most useful as when she does fall (much less now, but eventually she'll be practicing jumps or spins), it doesn't hurt at all.

RawrGirl's weight loss goal is very sporadic. 135 has usually been her goal (just to fit into those old Jay Jacobs jeans from when she was 21), but sometimes she wants 129, or 126. Last night, she was thinking 121 sounded like a wonderful number. Then she started thinking...heck, why stop at 121, why not 119. Hahaha. But realistically, RawrGirl would be very happy if 135 is her goal weight and one her body can maintain. She just hopes that at that weight her shoulder blades show in a backless dress. That may sound odd, but that is RawrGirl's ultimate goal. Some want thin thighs, others want six-pack abs...RawrGirl wants visible shoulder blades, lol. She just thinks that looks soooo pretty. In fact, whatever weight where her back has definition is RawrGirl's goal weight as long as it's 135 or less just so she doesn't hurt herself skating. It would really stink if she took up a sport to feel pretty and feminine and ended up giving herself a lifetime injury!

Thanks so much for reading!!!

Yes, def make your own list. It is very motivating to remember why you are not eating pizza or whatever it is you are particularly are sacrificing.

Lol, on muffin tops being a part of me...that's a sign to get a bigger size jeans. Much sexier to be in a size 10 jean with no muffin top, then to squish into a size 8 just because they snap and have muffin top cuz you're bursting out of it.

Yea, parents can be cruel. Sometimes they mean to be (RawrGirl's father), others don't realize the impact their words are saying (RawrGirl's mother). It is hard to get past the messages though. Good for you for doing inner work. That can help alot. RawrGirl is still working on that. She knows that just reaching goal will not grant her overnight self-respect for herself...which is why she is trying to establish those habits now, while she is losing.

I have not gotten to the point where other people's opinions don't matter. Not that anyone (other than RawrGirl's father, who has now passed) has ever criticized the way she looks, in fact, quite the opposite. But RawrGirl is REALLY influenced by cultural standards of thin is beautiful. Even though Prince Charming thinks she's beautiful, she fears that he is somehow blinded by how fat she is, and that one of these days he will wake up and realize RawrGirl is fat, and therefore flawed/worthless. She especially fears this after he watches movies and sees what pretty *really* is. Another example is the magazines that say: Worst Bikini Bodies, and you flip through just to realize that those girls who are *fat* are way thinner than RawrGirl so she may as well be obese.

:sigh:

RawrGirl has tried many things to ignore media messages, but nothing has fully worked: body image cognitive therapy, self-esteem workbooks, journaling, inner healing (which allowed her to accept many things about her self which she previously hated -- her face, stubby fingers, height, big feet, pre-mature aging hands, etc.) She has mostly come to accept other features she doesn't like (thin upper lip instead of pouty, "big" nose instead of petite nose), but her weight she just can't accept. Especially when she knows she can control that. She's gotten to her max goal weight (135) in her adult life after her pregnancy. So there is no reason she can't get back there. She has matured enough to realize choose one: binge or reach goal. It is her decision. She can't blame her over indulgence on anyone else. Her ultimate body image goal is not feel any less pretty/worthwhile after watching a movie with Prince Charming. That will be the hardest...esp as she nears 40. But that is her goal. To not let anyone on the screen (or in a magazine) to allow her to feel less about herself. She hopes reaching goal will do that. She doesn't know if it will or not, but she doesn't know what else to try. And she hates living her life by hiding. That's not really living. And RawrGirl wants to live her life -- for the first time.

 

[lookingforme]

Just a quick reply. I dont read magazines unless im stuck. I dont watch much Tv, just mainly 3 soaps which although can be boring they do have an everbody in them. The Media is unreal you dont need it in your life. Divert, ignore where possible. Xx

Lucky Find on the Side of the Road!

RawrGirl is luckiest girl ever. Prince Charming had to work today, so she went with him (he drives a truck) and as we were on route, we passed this:




RawrGirl has always wanted one of these, but couldn't afford one. She always used these at the gym, but no longer has a membership, but when she did, and was forced to watch stupid music videos (or whatever else the gym was playing) she often wished she could have one at home and watch what she wanted to watch. And had she not been with Prince Charming in his work truck, she wouldn't have been able to get it home.


RawrGirl is feeling even more confident about maintenance than ever!

Diet/Fitness Entry: Friday & Saturday

Yesterday (friday) was a nightmare, stress wise. Had to have a convo with ex about teenage son. Fortunately it went very well (unlike last time 3 weeks ago), but Rawrgirl was stressing about it all day until it finally happened. So much in fact, that she completely forgot to work out. She paced a lot, and even cleaned the whole kitchen trying to get her mind off it -- she would have worked out had she thought of it, but, alas, she did not.

Eating though, was excellent. RawrGirl's weekend max caloric intake is 1500, but she barely hit 1300 because she fell asleep before her last drink and snack. (She'd woken up that morning at 5:30 am, couldn't fall back asleep, and was never able to nap, because even when she tried, she was too anxious about the impending conversation with ex).

And now, for Saturday:

DIET: So far on track, but really battling the desire for munchies...so thinking it will not be able to make it. She won't binge (nothing in her house to binge on save for veggies, lol), but if she has an Atkins indulge bar and her planned veggie snack, she will be over 1500.

FITNESS: Upper AND Lower body workout (to make up for yesterday). She found ways to get some sets and reps in between Prince Charming's deliveries, then finished up at home. Plus she squeezed in a few short walks when he was with customers.

Tomorrow, RawrGirl is going to museum to see Dead Sea Scrolls and to an Indian restaurant with friends, so she probably will not see any minimins friends until Monday. She hopes everyone is having a great weekend, and looks forward to catching up with everyone's diaries and threads then!

So glad all went well with your ex. Sometimes we dread things and worry so much over them and they end up a lot better than we thought! I find the opposite too- when I think something will be an absolute breeze and it ends up a disaster!

Have a fantastic trip. You deserve to feel AMAZING in your jeans and be sure to accept any compliments thrown your way because they're true! Look forward to hearing all about it! X

Good news regarding the convo with your ex,
It is horrible in life when we have to share brain apacity with people we would choose not to.
Sadly its usualy the worst when connection through little ones.
I always get most annoyed that they have to be in my head let alone my sight.
It all sounds positive now for your goals thou and you will soon be toned now with a free gym lol.
Even with your worry of calories you have stayed active. So im sure it will balance out in your favour. Have a good Sunday and do they do an Indian Salad :- D. XX

Diet/Fitness Entry: Friday & Saturday: Part 2

Turns out, RawrGirl was able to stop munching on the endulge bar after only 1/4, and put it in the freezer so she couldn't eat anymore! She also never had her last drink, and was able to eat more of my veggie snack -- yea! (Veggie snack is grilled peppers and onions in butter spray and garlic pepper and then doused in spinach dip and sprinkled with parm cheese).

So total calorie count for Friday: 1307

Total calorie count for Saturday: 1334

Pretty unheard of for RawrGirl.


Okay so off to museum and Indian restaurant...hopefully this goes well. RawrGirl is a little nervous at trying to guess nutrition content for food she's never eaten before...

 

[squishymcfatterson]

Best of luck! I'm not a big fan of Indian but they use a lot of cream and clarified butter in sauces such as korma (I remember being told at WW that a lamb korma was a whopping 42 points, when the daily allowance was 20!!! and that was before rice, naan bread etc.)

I know that anything from the tandoor (dry Tandoori dishes) is generally lowest in calories. Hope that helps. Restaurants over there may have completely different menus.

Anyway, you have been doing fantastically well this week so one slip up wouldn't be the worst.

Catch up tomorrow my lovely diet buddy. X

Diet/Fitness Entry: Sunday

So...RawrGirl had picked out what she was going to eat from the menu online, but then, friends mention that it is a buffet.

RawrGirl tries not to panic, and realizes she needs to decide what to do. Her first choice is to stay in Ketosis, as too many calories = one day of consequences, whereas too many carbs = 4+ days of consequences. So RawrGirl is pretty happy with this...

Then RawrGirl finally gets to the restaurant, and sees the buffet which is rather small and has NOTHING that is without carbs. She has no idea what these sauces are that the lamb and chicken is, plus there is this baked flat bread stuff, rice (RawrGirl happily hates rice), potato and pea stuffed fried dumplings (these look like they could be good, but RawrGirl knows to stay far away), some veggie looking mush, and a salad bar.

So she has a tiny salad on a desert plate, very upset that they only have 2 choices of dressings and both of them full fat. (She usually thinks to bring her own dressing in a small container that slips in her purse, but she forgot.) Then, she uses another small dessert plate to try the chicken, the lamb, and the spinach (about 2 bites of each). The spinach was horrid (some sort of spice), the lamb was okay, and the chicken was pretty good.

So then RawrGirl realizes the best thing to do is to have a super large salad and to just realize that the salad dressing will be the bulk of her calories, but at least that is something she knows what is. So she does. And she is pretty satisfied, but she really wants a few more bites of the chicken. So she gets a tiny bowl and fills it with about 3oz chicken and tries to drain as much of the sauce off it as she can.

Then...they bring out the birthday cakes (museum and restaurant were celebrating a friend's 25th birthday). 4 different types of cake. All four were practically set right in front of RawrGirl, as she was directly across and one chair over from the birthday girl. Originally, birthday girl cut the cakes into 8 slices. There were double layer round cakes, probably about 8 in rounds, so these pieces were HUGE. Only one cake was chocolate with chocolate, and that one was being cut last. So RawrGirl had to sit there while 3 cakes were cut and plates being passed around and across and all over. Even Prince Charming set a HUGE slice in front of RawrGirl which she brusquely put right back in front of him.

So all this time RawrGirl is staring at and passing cake slices in one direction or another (there were like 25 ppl, so several tables had been lined up together), trying to decide if she is going to have some chocolate cake or not. It came down to this: if the sauce in the chicken had already knocked her out of Ketosis, then she wanted a tiny peice of cake. But she had no idea of knowing. The other thing that was really bugging her was the fact that the meal she thought she was going to order from the menu would have kept her in Ketosis (as there was no sauce). If she'd wanted to go out of Ketosis, she would have eaten pizza. So, she felt really frustrated that she was in a situation where she had no desire to cheat/treat etc., yet had no choice. So anyway, by the time the chocolate cake was being cut, it was cut into 12 slices. So she asked for the smallest, and then ate 1/4 of that, and gave the rest to Prince Charming.

So, approx tally:

300 calories -- ranch dressing (based on guess of 4tb -- it may only have been 3, it was big salad, but trying not to underestimate)
150 calories -- 1/3 cup cheese
50? 5-7 croutons (tiny little cubes)/lettuce/onion
125 calories -- 3 hard boiled eggs (mostly whites -- i didn't eat the yokes)
120 calories -- 1/4 section of a 1/12 slice of 8" round double layer chocolate cake (based on 240 calories for a normal size slice of single layer)
80 -- Lamb Tikka Masala (3 very small lamb pieces)
200 -- Chicken Tikka Masala (about 3oz worth, with as little sauce as possible)

Total: 1025

So, with breakfast and lunch, I had a total of 175 + 140 + 1025 = 1340.

My Sunday goal is 1200 max, so 140 over. But RawrGirl guesses that overall it's not that bad, considering the fact that she never hit 1500 calories either Friday or Saturday.

Weekend Plan: 1500 + 1500 + 1200 = 4200 Total

Weekend Reality: 1307 + 1334 + 1340 = 3981 Total

So perhaps shouldn't be too upset, since am under weekend calorie allowance, and even if RawrGirl did underestimate somewhere, she probably didn't go over it. She still thinks it's frustrating that she didn't remember her own salad dressing, as she would have been under by another 200-300 calories (though that may have led to eating alot more chicken and sauce, and possibly cake). But she may be out of Ketosis, which really stinks, esp now that she looked up the lamb and chicken sauce, neither of which are high in carbs, so it was all the cake. Her total carbs for the day are roughly 60 grams...that's actually better than she thought...perhaps by tomorrow night (esp after a workout on her new elliptical and figure skating), she will be right back in (rather than the 4+ days it takes after a normal weekend carb binge).

Haha...RawrGirl just realizes that her total calories for the WHOLE weekend = aprrox the same as the meal & dessert she orders when dining out at her favorite restaurants, and that doesn't count whatever she would normally have had for breakfast and lunch that day, let alone drinks later at home. So perhaps she should actually be feeling pretty good!

 

[squishymcfatterson]

Don't beat yourself up over this (although it doesn't sound like you are, thankfully!) It's my dread on any diet, not just vlcd, that I'll arrive in a social situation and there won't be anything suitable to eat so I'll just use that as an excuse or a day off and spiral out of control! You did really well to eat as little as you did.

How was the rest of the day? Hope you and Prince Charming had fun!

Awwww it doesn't seem too bad. You resisted a lot. If a cake was set in front of me I couldn't eat a little and hand it back. You deserve a huge pat on your back for doing that. Sounds like good times!
