I usually don't like loud print shirts like that but I must say, it conceals the belly pretty well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrose85 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I want your sandals! Very nice outfit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thank you Sherry. The sandals are a bit of a push for me, I normally ever wear like solid black flip flops so the sandals are something new to push my boundaries. Nice relaxing morning! I slept in until about 8, didn't go to the gym as I have chub rub right now and it makes walking pretty miserable, let alone exercising. L and I talked for a little while and we even watched some football together, the Liverpool vs. Man City game. Granted it was over the computer type watching but it was still some quality time together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Slight headache. Boo. My neighbour goes to a friend's house (another co worker) every Sunday and she bought me a plate back - pork chops, mashed potatoes, mac n' cheese, and biscuits. Yum! I can't let L taste good Southern cooking, he'll start to expect it from me, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose85 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ditch the shorts until your thighs shrink a bit, you'll feel much better. It's not just that, it's moisture and heat that contribute. Capri yoga pants are a godsend. I got to wear shorts all summer with no problem. It was so nice! I never ever exercise in shorts though... doesn't work.

I never ever exercise in shorts though... doesn't work. The thing is I haven't been exercising in shorts, I've been wearing those capri Danskin leggings (like in the picture) to exercise in. Sometimes my scrub bottoms don't fit perfect (a size smaller they are too tight, any bigger they just fall down) so they create that gap and I can get chub rub that way sometimes. I've never had thin thighs though, even when I was a size 7 I had chub rub going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 i tried your suggestion - i've been putting deodorant on my thighs and that really helps! it's even better than runner's glide. and cheaper too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose85 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 oh I see! I have a pair of pants with that stupid gap too. No fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing, isn't it?! I have to reapply after about 20 minutes (so putting it on when I'm wearing my scrub bottoms makes no sense since I can't always stop every 20 mins to reapply deodorant to my thighs) but when I wear shorts... shoot yeah!

OptomisticGirl Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 No, the next size down is way too tight in the thighs - I literally have to shimmy and force them up and down my thighs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 gah. between sizes is frustrating!!! It is. And I don't seem to be losing weight like I use to (fairly quickly) in the beginning. I think after L leaves I'm going to go have my TSH levels tested again (some were that doesn't deal within my job's network) just for a third opinion since the differing levels were so much.

annie24 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 lol, i read about your southern food dinners. those don't help weight loss any! have you been tracking your food intake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 True, but I ate Southern dinners when I was skinny too! All about moderation and portions! My problem is if you set food in front of me (say, 2 biscuits) I can't only eat just one of them. L says he sees this when we talk over Face Time - I'll pour the right amount of portion sizing off chips onto my plate, eat them, but then unknowingly to myself I'll pour ANOTHER portion size and eat that. It's like I'm afraid to be hungry. I kind of have been. I've mostly been working on consuming less soft drinks which I've done good. Yesterday I had two glasses of Dr. Pepper when I had Chinese but today I've went right back to drinking nothing but water, so I'm still indulging that little tid bit but it's getting easier for me to reign it in instead of having it and then not being able to stop.

annie24 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 yeah, it's portion sizes that are so important. i know, i do this too. i might have a healthy dinner but pour myself a second serving. that isn't doing me any favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It's like I'm afraid to be hungry. that's something worth thinking about. what was the last time you felt hungry? why are you afraid of being hungry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the world's worst of fixing something relatively 'good' for dinner but then going back for seconds even though I'm not hungry and I'm in fact a few bites away from being stuffed. that's something worth thinking about. what was the last time you felt hungry? why are you afraid of being hungry? I don't honestly know, tbh. I think it may go back to my childhood when my dad's girlfriend controlled what we ate and when we ate. Because dad couldn't really hold a job down for more than six months there were some months were we'd come home from school and all we'd be able to have for dinner was Ramen noodles.

annie24 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 that sounds probably like what happened - when you have parents/parent figures that teach bad eating habits, it takes a long time to unlearn them. what happened to your dad and his gf?

OptomisticGirl Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Oh they are still together, she was the one who with no medical knowledge of background decided Nanny had 'too much oxygen' and reduced what the doctor set her at. She's also the number one reason I left home at 17, she was very emotionally abusive to me and my siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
