Yankee Belle's Scattered Thoughts

Yankee Belle · 01-10-2006, 07:57 AM

I started a journal already as Dreaming of 14 ...but somehow that disappeared. Not sure of why. It's probably best anyhow, since I've since changed my name.

I'm feeling out of sorts about something right now. There's a thread on the Century Club board that's talking about sagging skin after weight loss. As if I don't have enough to deal with having to lose all of this weight....now I can't stop thinking about THAT.

I keep looking at my body and have decided that MOST of it should be alright... but I'm very concerned about my breasts, stomach and upper arms. I'm not even sure if exercise will help with this.

Jeff is 10 years younger than me (almost). He's also hot. I can't lie. To me he is extremely attractive. It's bad enough that I'm fat but what if my breasts turn to mush and whatnot? How's he going to feel about me? Oh Lord this is scary stuff.

He's never said A WORD about it but I'm fairly sure that he would love it if I lost a decent amount of weight. Who can blame him? But what if the sagging skin ends up being less attractive than being overweight?

I'm freaking.

I'm frustrated. I haven't lost anything in about 5 days but I have NOT cheated one bit. Everyone's saying it's the nuts I'm eating. I'm going to cut them from my diet and see what happens. I hate to see them go, though. My favorite thing to eat was nuts fried in butter & cinnamon w/Splenda. Why is it that I have to give up my FAVORITE things?

Another thing I'm wondering about (though I can't post this question in the main area) is my weed smoking. I wonder if it's slowing down my metabolism. I need to do some research on that. I'll be really bummed if I have to give that up, too. I've already given up all of my favorite foods and any alcohol. For anyone reading this... I'm not a junkie. I don't smoke cigarettes...drink very often or do any other drugs. I smoke only at night to relax before bed. I just don't want to give it up. But if I have to, I guess I ....might! lol
