Go ahead jump on those scales and say what I always say
1. Those scares are wrong
2. Earrings do weigh heavey
3. Hair gel, spray or leave in conditioner counts too
4. Its amazing how heavy ANY clothing can weigh
I simply use humor to deflect thevile numbers the scales spew out. If the numbers are really
bad I convert it into kilograms (divide the number in lbs by 2.2 = Kg)
I know you are only fooling yourself - but it just makes it easier to work with.
And I made the mistake of haveing my husband with me once when I went to a dr appt
I had to be weighed so I slipped off my shoes, started to get on the scales and my husband
MOO'ed (just like a cow) of course I burst into tears, the nurse (a very good friend of mine)
hit him with the chart - and I banned him from EVER going with me again. He can drive me
(I'm legally blind) but thats it. Thats why God made recpetion areas...for toddlers and husbands
Bjork as I said before (I know you don't want to hear this) your body HAS to have a certain
amount of body fat to function. If you would just trust me on this from today until January 1
you will see I am right. Right now you are not losing fat you are losing muscle
Your body is currently in starvation mode so anything you eat is going to be converted to fat
Fat helps your body maintain a consistant body temp whether you are sick or just outside
in the cold air. Your body has to have fat in order to process certain enzymes and nutrients.
If for the next 2 or 3 monbths just eat normally - just find a way to do it - after your body is
convincedit is no longer at risk of going back into starvation mode - you will automatically
start to lose wight. Your body will be more comfortable getting the proteins and nutrients
it needs on a regular basis. And then when you exercise (moderation is still key) you will
lose fat and not muscle.
You all remember Maxi - Maxi if you are out there POST ASAP. She emails me on a regular
basis. She finally agreed to give this a chance and it worked. She is now in training for
a major kickboxing bout, She said she has never looked this good or felt this good before.
I will send her a email and ask her to post so you can hear it straight from her.
And she is for once in her life HAPPY.
Bjork please just think about what I said OK. GIve your body a chance to heal and it will
take good care of you in return. Remember be honest with yourself and anyone that is trying
to help you. You are worth the truth.
