Ever have one of those weeks?

This past week has been wearisome. Even though it wasn't that stressful, I am driving myself nuts with worry over my weigh-in tomorrow. The army says I am 20 pounds overwieght, and if I don't pass my tape tomorrow, I will have to be on the overweight program. I just don't know what to do. I've tried the Atkins diet, which helped a little, and I've tried eating only 800 calories a day. Nothing seems to work! I exercise twice a day, an hour each time, and stay away from junk food, though I do admit I cheat every now and then.
But I am worried. Every time I look in the mirror I see a fat blob, and I hate it! Grrrrrr, stupid society! Why can't pudgy women be considered beautiful, and the skin and bones girls be ugly for once?
I'm just whinging, please ignore me. I'll hopefully be better after tomorrow. Hopefully I'll pass!

I completely agree with you! Sticks hould be out, and curvy women should be in :)

Then I'd have a chance :)

Sorry to hear bout this though. I hope it turns out alright! *hugs*

Read "The Obesity Myth". It won't make the Army happy, but it might reassure you.

you are beautiful, girl.
And then this same society wonders why eating disorders are rampant among our young people- and even guys sometimes, too.

Stupid world. I hope you pass too. And pudgy women are beautiful!

The Army is crazy about the female weight table. Virtually every female I know is considered overweight and has to be taped.

In my opinon, the best way to lose weight through cardio is to get a heart rate monitor, look up what your heart rate should be for fat burning, and then either run or use a cardio machine to keep your heart rate at that level.
