No clothes to wear
So, I woke up this morning and put the clothes on I had set aside for work. I looked at myself in the mirror and I wanted to throw up. My jeans were so tight. All my jeans are so tight. I can’t even bare to think of going up a size. No way! I can’t believe I gained over 30lbs in like 3 years…… it doesn’t seem healthy. My whole way to work I just wanted to cry. I have no clothes to wear! I keep buying and buying clothes….but it doesn’t see like I have any. Either too tight… or makes my belly look big..I just can’t take it. I am going to have to start waking up at 6am and just going on the treadmill for a half hour and lifting weights. Because I have no time to do it after work. I have such a hectic schedule..and that’s why I have gained so much weight…I need to make time to be active..start walking after dinner…I’ve asked my boyfriend serval times to go for a walk…he never wants to. I really need his support………

You’re stronger than you think, you can take control and not need his support.
Think of yourself as 2 people, the curent you and the future you. When your current you doesn’t want to walk or exercise or “cheat” on a food plan… think to the future on how disapointed the futre you will be… “I don’t want future me to be crying in the car tomorrow so I better go do that walk, I really don’t want to let her down. I can feel her cheering for me to do what is right.”
Then the next day when you are NOT crying in the car because you made the right choices for yourself be sure to congratulate yourself!
Sounds silly I know but it can work, you do have support of the people here and he future you as well.
I found with my husband, if he thought there was something in it for him, he was willing to exercise with me! wink, wink. I would keep telling him how much better I feel and he caught my drift. When all else fails, use the only weapon you have. Of course he liked to see the results of my weight loss to me, both physical and emotional. Put on your best looking outfit, smile and ask. Hope this helps. Hugs,Marge
Jen, I know the feeling ! You can do this ! You joined this site for support and we are here listening to every word you put out ! You already figured out what’s happening and even put a plan into effect , That’s Great ! Do you have any dogs ? I found that my dogs are just as good a companion as my husband on a walk ! Hang in there , it will get better ! Your buddy, Kimmi
I think your plan of getting on the treadmill is a great idea. It will really jump that metabolism in the morning and it gets the workout out of the way. Keep a pair of one of those jeans near that treadmill too as a reminder of what you want to achieve. Don’t be sad for too long because it doesn’t do any good. Feel down for another second and then start taking action. Make your plan and put it in play. You can do it! It takes a little time but you have to just start.
Jenny, I am right there with you with a busy schedule and a non-supportive husband. It is hard to stick with your plan when your boyfriend doesn’t want to help you exercise, or when he is eating pizza when he knows you can’t, it is very hard. Because I have 2 kids, I wake up at 4:45 4 times a week so I can go to the gym and be home before my husband leaves for work. It is so hard to get out of bed, but once I do, I feel great knowing that I am doing something good for myself. Slowly my husband is realizing that I am dead serious about losing weight and getting into shape, and slowly he is coming around. Although, reminding him that once I am skinny and hot I am not going to leave him for another man helps too, haha! Seriously though, this site is such an inspiration to me, people like Marge are amazing, and I want to be amazing too, and everyone here wants me and you to be amazing, and so we will be! You can do it!
