Day Seven, today I am feeling a bit depressed. I'm not really seeing big results, which I know I've only began but still, I would like to see more changes. I know that this weight took many years to build up and it won't come off quickly, but still...Im sad. I'm worried about the calorie and sodium count of the soups that I got to have for lunch. I'm thinking about the total calories I need per day...MAX and Im not sure how many I should be looking for. How many calories should I be consuming a day? I want to keep it as liquid as possible and I don't want for extra sodium to hold up any loss. I guess I just get frustrated. I feel like my whole life has been about my weight. I can't wait to be rid of it... although I know it will be a life long battle. Food is my drug, and I will forever be a lifetime member of the foodaholics anonymous. Always worried that I might fall off the wagon. I hope to feel better after I get a nap... I'm exhausted!
Ok, on a better note... I started the slimfast this morning.... I put it in a blender with ice and skim milk along with one packet of sweetener....yum yum! It was actually so filling that I almost didn't finish it! Masha'Allah, that part of my day was worry free. I only wish everything else were so easy...
Please anyone with advice about how to manage my caloric intake... please comment.... I need support!
I will update again later, insha'Allah.
Hey I know what you are feeling maa sha Allah. I have been battling my weight for the past 10 yrs. I haven't ever given my all and I would start a diet only to give it up a couple days later. Recently I came across this website call www.healthymuslim.com I had already realized that dieting wasn't "my" way based on other around me. I saw how sisters would diet to only find themselves much bigger than they were originally. Instead I have decided to making a life style change. I read this article and began eating similar to how the brother in the article eats... http://www.healthymuslim.com/articles/akypd-weight-loss-case-study-male-loses-13kg--29lb-in-period-of-nine-9-weeks.cfm ...
ReplyDeleteIn 3 days I started going to the bathroom regularly. I had loads of energy and I didn't feel hungry! I fell off a few days but now I'm back and Alhamdulillah I feel great but I have to get moving so I can see some results. This brother said he didn't really see results until 3 weeks into his change. He lost 29 pounds in only 9 weeks not from dieting but from making healthy choices maa sha Allah! We can do this ukhtee just back away from the scale, exercise, and getta eating healthy in sha Allah!
Sounds Fabulous, I'll check it out insha'Allah! Once again thanks for the comments... I really do need the support.
