Oh hello there, I want to die.

I did the stupidest thing this morning. I walked into my parent’s bathroom… and stepped on the scale. I can’t put into words how I felt as the little wheel climbed up the Fatty Chart, or how much I wanted to die when it finally stopped. Horrified, I took a few steps back. At first I thought the scale had made a mistake, but I knew better. Then, in an act of bitterness and frustration, I raised my fists and cursed the gods of Delicious Food.

Why must food taste so good? Why must I eat it more than once?! Why must I be punished for having that third helping of cake?! I JUST DON’T GET IT, IT WAS RIGHT THERE READILY AVAILABLE, WHY ALL THE HATE?!?!

It was, without a doubt, the worst idea I’ve had in days. I’m more determined to lose the chub, eat healthier, and maybe even work out than I’ve ever been. So as of this moment, I’m hiring some Losing the Chub Workout Buddies, and I’d love it if some of you would join me. Let me know?


omg, i so know how you feel. i’m the heaviest i’ve ever been right now and i remember when i stepped on the scale the last time and about had a heart attack. i was down in the shop while eric was changing the oil on my mom’s car for me and i saw a scale laying there on the floor (a shipping scale) and i thought, ‘hey, what the heck? haven’t weighed myself in a while...’ *freak out, omg… punch in the chest hypervenitlate*

yeah. scary.
when i think about it though, i’ve always been too skinny so the weight i’ve gained is ok, i guess. i just don’t want it to look so sloppy on me. i’ve got side chub going on, a little bit of a belly going… i need to tone things up.

so yeah, i’m totally with you on trying to eat better and take better care of myself. *as i shove an m&m;and chocolate chip cookie in my mouth* shit… this is going to be harder than i thought. ugh. i love food!

Oh I totally need a lose weight buddy… damn you for living on the other side of the world. I don’t think I’ll have enough time to get to work in the morning, otherwise I’d go… alternately you could visit :P

I just joined the gym last week. I try to take my bike everywhere or walk. I try not to eat too late. I’d be your Losing the Chub Workout Buddies. Is there a way we can do that online? ;)

I would be your buddy except… that would make me anorexic. Just ask Aisling. She wants to fatten me up. :P

Posted by Clem on April 29, 2008

ohay! ill come work out with you. I’ll get the plane now, see ya in two-three days.
bai. x

In all serious though, i’ve not weighed myself in like 2 years.

Aw, don’t worry, you’ll shed it in no time. I doubt it was THAT BAD. Besides, apparently, you can still eat the foods you love, just excercise (it’s what I heard, I don’t know, lol) :)

Oh don’t be silly. If you didn’t notice it BEFORE you stepped on the scales (e.g. your clothes and everything were still fitting), then what does a number matter? As long as everything still fits you, life is good!

I will be your buddie, I need more people to motivate me because I can’t ever be active and stick to anything on my own!

Lets get skinny and toned then we can be super models.

Posted by Sean on April 29, 2008

I will exercise with you!  I need to lose some weight as well, I’m actually kind of scared to step on a scale now.

Posted by Regina on April 29, 2008

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! I’m the exact same position right now. I’m trying to loose weight, but it’s hard :(.

Posted by Yara on April 29, 2008

Hey I’m right there with you.  I lost my motivation and am just getting it back to kick the fat arses ...arse.  (thats me) So lets do it.

Posted by Nat on April 30, 2008

LOL… don’t be so hard on yourself :P

I know how you feel though, I’ve put a lot of weight on since the beginning of this year, around 15 or 20 pounds, but I’ve lost most of it lately and I’m almost back to my original weight. I would like to lose some more though… I’ll just join go working out with you XD

Aw, I know how you feel!! I feel utmost frustrated with that kind of thing as well. Unfortunately my genes prohibits me from staying one size. I must work hard to maintain. *sigh* why can’t I be one of the lucky ones.
I guess let the scale be your motivation for sure!!

*hugs* Sorry you didn’t like what the scale had to say. We could all benefit from a healthier lifestyle. I hope your regime works out for you!

That’s why I don’t weigh myself. I’m scared of the number. It’s a vicious cycle.  I’m fat because I eat, I eat because I’m sad, I’m sad because I’m fat. Ah, that’s life. Though, I’m eating right (I have to eat to make sure I get all my vitamins since I’m a vegetarian), and trying to exercise… I just wish I could see results faster. Since, there’s some really cute bathing suits I want. (But in reality will just dream about).

I have not stepped on a scale in over 2 years. I admit that I am tempted when I am near one, but it is always better to just not get on it. That way you never know and cannot obsess about the number.

Try not to think about it. Remember, it is just a number and take into consideration things like muscle being heavier then fat and water weight and all that other things. Other then that, there is nothing to do, but just try to eat a little bit better and maybe walk a little bit more throughout the day :)

At least your scale registers when you step on it; mine stopped displaying numbers a long time ago. Now it just says “ERROR”. :P

Posted by Chanel on May 01, 2008

I haven’t stepped on the scale in about a month but I know I’ve gained some weight. I don’t mind working out but it’s the diet part I don’t like. I like food too much to go on a diet, lol. I think if I just exercise and eat the right portions and not over-stuff myself with food then I will be fine. I just have to get Bryan in there to move things around in our weight room. At the moment his speaker box is sitting on my treadmill, lol.
