Been out running lately- at the pace and distance that I was at previously...HOWEVER my knees have been hurting and I"m slower--my husband that has NOT been trianing beet me at a race this past weekend...

so a really good reason to get back to loosing...to not feel the pain...

the cookies- don't taste as good as finishing the run not in pain!!!

soo I think I'm getting back on the wagon, had a good food day today- subway for breakfast and then 2 cookies and a burger and fries for afternoon lunch....no dinner...and a 39 minute run...

food....

hmmmm I love it...
recently started to read "secrets of a former fat girl" if i didn't know better I would have thought I wrote the book, so many similar stories etc....

Some great thoughts are that 'its not an options' you just have to do it....and considering I love food so much- perhaps I can augment my food intake with doing exercise....its seems easier to make myself exercise then it does to say no to some foods...

"ve been seeing a counsellor lately to discuss a little about why i'm so obsessed with FOOD....its interesting thought because with the recent birth of my nephew I've gotten to see how food influences our moods, emotions and feelings from such a young age....food soothes that little guy when he's tired, hungry, sad etc....and i think we all learn that way....

for me whenever I have a headache 'maybe its low blood sugar- better eat something'. when I have tummy ache 'its probably cuz I'm hungry' e tc etc....I use food to sooth, and destress....there are lots of happy feelings with food...celebrations etc---food can help you bring those happy thoughts back.......

also why I like to eat out? cuz I spend so much time caring/taking care/working with-for other people that I want someone to serve me

anyways went for a super duper run tonight...in the rain....feeel great....

Fat Prison- seen on a couple different websites-

I want to tell you about a very unusual sort of prison. It's called Fat Prison. Why is it so unusual? Because it's completely voluntary.
No one sends us to Fat Prison, we send ourselves!

What's it like to be a fat prisoner? The rules are very strict. To begin with, each prisoner must wear regulation uniform. This consists of a baggy skirt or elasticated pants. Most prisoners pretend they don't mind walking around in this shapeless uniform, but secretly they hate it. They'd much rather walk down the street in a slim pair of jeans.
Exercise is strictly controlled Swimming or playing with children is forbidden. And no prisoner may walk more than a few yards at a time. The penalties for breaking this rule include sweating, shortness of breath, soreness and fatigue. After a few years without any sort of proper exercise, prisoners become so soft that the very idea of movement terrifies them. If you don't believe me, go up to a fat prisoner and suggest a nice long walk in the fresh air!
Everyday life The main feature of everyday life inside Fat Prison is tiredness. Prisoners carry lots of extra weight around on their bodies, so not surprisingly they suffer from chronic fatigue. Result? After doing their daily chores, most of them slump down exhausted in front of the TV.
Even when they allow themselves a night out, many prisoners find it difficult to enjoy themselves. They feel awkward about their shape so instead of mixing with other people they tend to sit in the corner with other fat prisoners.
Prison Mentality After many years of locking themselves away inside their Fat Prison, many prisoners develop a prison mentality. They lose confidence in themselves and their ability to "go straight". They look at slim people and think: "I'm never going to be like them!" They think they are doomed to stay in Fat Prison, forever. Result? They let themselves go completely.
Bad for Health Fat Prison is very bad for prisoners health. Don't forget, the greater our weight, the greater the strain on our joints and spine. And the fatter we grow, the harder our heart has to work to keep us going. No wonder so many fat prisoners get ill!
Depressing Fat Prison is a depressing experience, not only for the prisoners but also for their families. In fact, the children of fat prisoners often grow up to become prisoners themselves. It's a vicious cycle.
Question So why do so many people end up in Fat Prison? And even more important, why don't they leave once they discover how awful it is?
Answer Because they prefer to eat cookies, chocolate, potato chips, popcorn, doughnuts, fatty meat and creamy desserts. They know that this stuff makes them fat but they don't care. They'd rather go to prison than give up their regular mouthful of fat. *Some may have other reasons
Are you a fat prisoner? Have you locked yourself up in your own private Fat Prison? If so, here's some advice. Don't waste another day of your life in jail. Get out now!
All you have to do is stop eating junk and start eating properly and you can walk free tomorrow.
It may take a few months before your weight returns to normal, but your tiredness will lift immediately and within a week you'll feel ten times better. So what are you waiting for?Get out of your Fat Prison today and start really living!
