So, just to prove that I AM back, here's a second journal entry ;)
Actually, I just got home from class and I turned on the tv to find Heavy on so I'm sitting here fascinated and trying to decide if I like this show or not. This is the first time I've seen this show so part of me is kind of outraged that they have people who've done probably no exercise working out as hard as they do to start off with as in my opinion that teaches people that exercise hurts and doesn't give the message that exercise can be both fun AND doable (which I think a lot of people need, particularly when you're first starting out.) On the other hand, they seem to address the food addiction part and actually have the participants seeing a therapist to deal with the underlying issues and I really like that fact.
As most of my buddies know - it's usually not ALL about the food. If you're twenty pounds overweight, sure maybe it's food. But once you get to severely overweight/obese there's mental stuff with it too that NEEDS to be addressed - which is why my mantra always begins with Change your thoughts and doesn't get to "Change your body" until the end.
I really wish more of these shows taught people to love exercise - that's the thing I guess I have the biggest issue with after five minutes of walking. I felt fabulous after that walk I took today - I didn't push myself that hard and deliberately kept it slow since I'm a little out of shape after the month or so stuck inside and I have to admit that I'd actually forgotten how much I enjoyed it. If I went out full steam and pushed myself too hard, I don't know if I'd want to go tomorrow and right now I can't WAIT to go tomorrow (please don't snow, please don't snow.)
Has anyone been watching this show? I'd love to know what my buddies think on this.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back. I'm excited to have something positive to focus on between this and school. I will get to that 50lb goal soon.
Affirmations for today:
1) There's no timeline something has to happen in. Sometimes you have to just enjoy the journey and watch it unfold.
2) I'm strong enough to get through whatever life throws at me
3) Change your thoughts, change your habits, change your mind, change your body, change your life.

I agree in all points. God I LOVE exercise! There's no way I ever thought I'd say that and I mean it with all my heart :). I like heavy. I especially like the extreme cases they show to the people- people so overweight they can't get out of bed anymore. There was a woman like that on last week and every heavy person should hear what she had to say, which was something along the lines of "if I could go back to being your weight (300 pounds) I would go to the gym and I would exercise like my life depended on it. But it's too late for me now.". Omg, it was so sad, I cried (I am a sucker for those shows). At the end if the show there was a screen to let you know this woman had passed away. I haven't seen tonight's episode yet (mountain time) but am looking forward to it. There is a forum thread about it I started if you want to look for that.

Oh wow, Kate, that sounds unreal. I feel so bad for these people but I totally get how someone can get to those extremes, especially as some of the people clearly have some severe emotional issues. I'll go check out the thread.

I have long believed that you don't gain that much weight 100 pounds or more without some kind of emotional issues. It's a total denial of reality. It's like burying your head in the sand. The evidence is so easy to see- yet we refuse to see it.And that's something you wouldn't and couldn't do if you were healthy. It's incredibly self-destructive. I think thats the part that people don't get. Yeah, you can become somewhat overweight just because you like to eat good food and you're lazy. But when it gets into that extreme range- it's a clear sign something is wrong emotionally and that's what needs to be tackled first and foremost- eating and exercise are secondary.

I totally agree, I got to that point because I was a bulimic who stopped purging. Sad, but true - I figured that as long as I didn't throw up, I was fine - even if I still went on the crazy binges and ignored it when I couldn't fit into any of my clothes. It wasn't until I worked on the crap that made me bulimic in the first place that I started to make progress and learned how to actually eat.
