So frustration you are quickly becoming a good friend. I have one simple request...leave me the fuck alone. I have been doing everything right and the numbers are pissing me off. Last week I weighed in at 467.2 lbs, this week I weighed in at 467.2 lbs. I have been increasing my walking, since last Monday I have walked 10.7 miles and that equates to 4 1/4 hours of actually working out. Can someone tell me why the hell I am not losing weight. I have kept my caloric intake below 3,000 calories everyday. In fact, most days I barely make 2,000 calories.
Here is what frustrates me...everybody tells me that it is natural. That I should look at the way I look how my clothes fit better, how I feel better, etc. Honestly, I don't see it. I do have more energy, but, I don't feel better! My feet cramp constantly, the bottom of my feet feel like they are always on fire. I am chaffed and when it starts feeling better, I walk more and it kicks right back in. My knee has been popping on a regular basis. If I am doing everything right why am I stuck here? I mean I haven't eaten any fast food, I haven't been eating a whole lot that isn't vegetables and fruit.
Am I destined to be fat? Am I the guy who is supposed to be the guy that every thinks of as the fat guy? I honestly don't know what I am supposed to do anymore. I have been doing this since July 18 2011 and all told I haven't even lost 10 lbs. NO fast-food, very little junk food...what the fuck do I need to do?
Sorry friends, I don't mean to unload, but, sometimes, I just feel I need to. I know it will get better and I am sure eventually the weight will just "melt off" however, I am just in a bad mood after weigh in this morning.
Thanks for listening and please give me any advice or suggestions for any of the issues I have mentioned above that could help me out.

First off, let me commend you for making the choice to change your ways...I wish I could say the same for us. We always "think" but never "do". So congratulations on that.
ReplyDeleteYou have every right to feel frustrated. I wish I could help with advice, but I can't even follow my own advice. I have heard people say you shouldn't weigh yourself on a regular basis, as that alone can be frustrating. Trying to keep your mind off of the "loss" and keep it on the "gain" might change your perspective on things. As for the soreness, I think for a while ibuprofen and baby powder might be your best friends. Try taking pain relief about 1/2 hour before you do your walking, and see if that helps.
Hope this helps. But don't take my advice if you don't want to. I'll just be a friend here to listen to your bitching when you need to get some frustrations out...that's what I'm here for! And good luck!!
Thanks Sam. I do appreciate it. I might try the ibuprofen before a work out. I have been using it enough after them.
