Now if anyone has a go at me again for arguing, I'm leaving and not coming back, as I'm sure will others I know well in here. We are all a bit sick of idiots like waverider and others causing problems, and then when we give any sort of a response we are accused of arguing or causing trouble of messing up the forums. Now for crying out loud people, look at who are the real trouble makers and direct your anger at them.
Please don't paint such a bad picture of me in public Gail. I wouldn't block a real friend. The last time we wrote was on MSN and you were very cold and blunt with me and to be honest, came across quite rude and seemed to talk down to me. I don't know if you meant it that way or not but the fact is that you haven't contacted me since. The last time you did was when you asked me today about Brian. You didn't say hi or ask how I was. So I blocked you because we aren't really friends and I don't want to be a go-between because Brian IS a good friend. I hope that makes sense, and none of it is meant in a bad way ok?
I don't know of any groups and I did look around for one. I didn't try that hard though because of my issues with mixing with groups of people I don't know. I'd then have to tell them all about my life and answer the standard questions about what I work as and where I live, and at the moment I hate answering those questions because I am judged on my answers by most people and then I feel like an outcast.
I can't tell you how much I want to go swimming and there is a pool very close to me. No way will I go though. I can't show myself off like that in front of anyone. It isn't just my size either. I don't want to say the other reason. :((((((
Weighing yourself is great when you lose it, but not when you put it on even though you're dieting and excercising. I think every week is too often really although it is great to see it come off, I know the feeling well and can't wait to feel it again.
I would love to join a group so that I can mix with other people and get encouragement from them. I wouldn't join WeightWatchers because it's disgusting how much they charge for almost nothing, but I would like to find some other sort of group. I do have issues when it comes to mixing with strangers but that's another problem that I won't get into here.
I have decent accurate scales at home so that's ok. I don't want to weigh myself because I lost 3.5 stone last year and I don't want to see that I'm still heavier than the minimum I got to before. It would feel very depressing and like all this work has been wasted. So that's why I want to wait a bit before weighing myself. I agree that it is nice when you see the weight come off, but I'll have to give it a bit before I get that good feeling I'm afraid.
Ok but you do tend to jump to conclusions. I could have been laughing at anything.
I don't have a clue how much I've lost because I'm scared to weigh myself. I know I will be losing it and sometime in the future I'll get to weighing myself again.
I agree with what you said about not starving myself. Most big people are aware of all that sort of thing but they sometimes chose to ignore it out of desperation. :) The only real way to lose weight and keep it off is to eat sensibly and not starve yourself and to exercise. That's what I'm doing. It is slow but IF I keep it up, it'll work. I know it will because it has before. :)
Why are you always so paranoid? It's like you're desperate to argue with people. I laughed at something Ickle wrote for a deep reason that she may or may not understand. The 'laugh' had nothing to do with you losing weight. What do you take me for Debs? You're always so quick to snap at me.
Of course it's good that you've lost weight. It isn't good that being ill caused it of course because your body will be in starvation mode so when you eat it'll store it all as fat, and that isn't going to help you at all. So be careful of that when you get to eating properly again because you don't want to put on what you've lost.
No I won't get involved in any of the weird diets going around. The 'safe' way just needs a lot of will-power and that's why it's so hard to lose weight, and why a lot of people try other fancy diets instead.
I lost a lot of weight last year but put it all back on again - What an idiot huh?
Thanks for your support mate, I'll try not to give up this time.
Hi Jamie. I pretty much agree with a lot of what you wrote. I don't go for all these crazy diets where you have to eat loads of the same thing, or eat at odd times, or spend hundreds on stupid pills. None of that is sensible and normally doesn't work anyway. The only sort of diet I ever go on is a sensible one where I eat less and exercise more. All these other diets are fads that don't give long-lasting results. Losing about 2LB a week is about right. If you keep that up for a few weeks then you can stuff your face like a horse (do horses really stuff their faces?) for a week and you'll still lose the 2LB! Just make sure you go back on the diet again so you keep the routine up. So it's more a change of lifestlye, but something you have to stick to.
As for your questions - Well when you're as fat as me, you HAVE to lose weight. It bugs me when young girls get all funny about being 1LB heavier than the girl next door. They don't need to diet, that's just stupid. People like me though really do need to and if I don't, I will die early. It's as simple as that and I won't pretend it isn't that serious. Losing weight will sort out my health which will in-turn help my social life (so that I might actually have one!). So I guess it depends who you are, whether it's really something you need to do or not.
By the way, this is now the 3rd week of my diet and I'm still doing pretty well. :)
I HATE CORRIE, I HATE CORRIE. BASH BASH BASH BASH BASH!!!!!
Now watch what happens....
"Zedbra, this is supposed to be a non-Corrie bashing thread. Please don't come here starting trouble".
"Oh it was only a joke for goodness sake!".
"I know it was, I never said otherwise!".
"But you just had a go at me for my joke?".
"No I didn't! I'm not that stupid".
Then someone else, "Zedbra, stop starting trouble".
"I didn't, it was the other person! I just made a joke!".
Someone else, "These forums are supposed to be fun but people like you are just making them miserable".
"But I haven't done anything!!!".
Someone else, "Look you 2, just take your silly little fight somewhere else".
"But I never did a thing for crying out loud. What's wrong with you people! I made a joke and then responded to an idiot who critisised me for it. What should I do, just ignore everyone who has a dig at me? Is that what you're doing? NO! So it's ok for you to respond when it isn't directed at you but not for me when it IS directed at me?".
Ok that'll do. That's the logic of how some people think. Sorry Ickle, didn't mean to interupt your thread. I just had the urge!
