frustration

remember hannah's post last week? when she said she was below her goal, and how she's skinny and all? well, she is. it's sickening, really. two gorgeous boys and she looks like she did in college. i was lucky enough to spend part of this weekend with her when she visited dallas. so on sunday morning we all went out to breakfast together, and i got what i always order (the pancake combo, hashbrowns, sausage, no eggs with fruit instead-- *hangs head*) know what hannah ordered? the same thing. only she had eggs instead of fruit. well, with all her weight loss, i'm positive she's going to be that girl that picks at half of the items, nibbles on the bacon, and that's it.

nope.

she ate it all.
so did i.

but she looks so much better than me! so i have decided that genetics sucks, and also that she usually drinks water for breakfast and lunch, and only ate pancakes to make me feel like not so much of a pig.

right?

*sigh*

but anyways, i'm on the boat with leann. there are so many places in my life that i've lost control, so soon as i get them all under control, i'll feel like i have better control over my fitness and weight and dieting. wow, i just said control three times in one sentence. sorry about that.

You have to lose control to get it back. Now you know. You'll get there. Hang on tight.

I know it's hard not to compare yourself to others, but you'll get there, too. The most important thing is getting to a point where you feel comfortable in your skin. You will feel much better then. And getting control of your life is always good. Things are crazy, but maybe over the semester break you can help get yourself back on track?

I honestly think you're doing exactly what you need to do. Do you really think you could run off fruit and toast and keep the schedule you keep? I don't.

You aren't lazy.

Metabolism rules all.

I think you look great!

You are correct though, genetics plays a huge role in a lot of weight loss as does age and metabolism. I think that you have such a busy schedule that your body is probably in survival mode, which is going to make is far more difficult to lose the weight.

About that IHOP breakfast. If you wanted to make it better for weight loss you should maximize the protein so keep the eggs, and cut back on carbs so swap out the hash-browns for the fruit. On regular mornings I eat 2 bites of eggs leftover on Oliver's plate and half a pot of tea, so you are close :) IHOP is a roadtrip only treat.

Gah, now I want IHOP hashbrowns. *sigh* But eggs sound really good too.

Hooray for Hannah. We're all jealous, in a good way.

Kyrstin said...

I think we should quit talking about hashbrowns... LOL

Tamara said...

I'm going to make hashbrowns now.
