I have been so busy! I have been really focused on working out, and sticking to my calories. Since my last post I have lost another 2 pounds. So, since the new year, I have dropped 7 pounds :). What an awesome feeling! Im just trying to get the weight down before my one year!
I have been watching a lot of documentaires latley on obesity and beauty in america. I cannot explain how sad, discouraging and just over-all horrific I found them. One of the documentaries "Killer at Large" was actually very informitive and positive, I would recommend it for anyone. However, I watched another one called " FAT: What they aren't telling you." This one I found discoraging. Basically at one point a doctor in the film explains... If you have been over weight as a child, and decide to lose weight as an adult it was almost "superhuman" to be able to lose the weight, and keep it off for good. I was like, WTF. This country is so concerned with this epidemic, then they have a doctor telling people like me, basically, you have no chance. How awesome is that? Im totally ignoring that little comment, and just going to move forward. The third documentary I saw was called "America the Beautiful." I cannot even put this one into words. It was shocking. If you have netflix, or have acsess to this somehow, put this at the top of your list to watch, it is completely eye opening.
I will update again soon with more weight loss!
Congrats on the weight loss!! You are moving right along! You will totally reach your goal weight.
ReplyDeleteMy husbands cousin is one of the producers on the documentary "Killer at Large"... Bryan Young. I will have to pass it along that you enjoyed the movie. I know a lot of people have been viewing it on Netflix. Those movies always get to me. But I agree with you completely, hearing a doctor say that you basically have to be a super human to drop the weight and keep it off is very discouraging.. But, he doesn't know everyone ;)
Thank you so much! Wow, that is so awesome! That is my favroite doc. about obesity.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I said, that doctor probably is talking in like, extreme obesity, I think people with like 200 extra pounds could definitley keep it off for good! Maybe anymore weight to lose then that is just too much to keep off, idk! But I agree with you!
