Default Toxic friends and bullies>

Over the years ive had friends come and go,but a fue months ago I had to drop a long time friend and her partner,now wife, even tho its not leagle hear yet.When I frist met R we became friends while I was in college a long time ago then she met B who has become the guarding wall of all the world to keep who and whatever sheilded from R.it has taken a fue years for B to do this.Now she ansers the phone for R,is the third party in any convo with anyone R speaks to,plands out everyday and everything they do and who is seen at any given time.I can beleave my old friend allows this.As things grew more dramaitc and toxoc with all the changes and problems in there life I became the Dr.Phill they called when probs came up.Any plands we made were changed or canseld without notice or care who or what was involved.So I didnt hear from them for three months,B called and started in about this prob and that family member did this or that.I simply told her I retired for the fixit buisness..also I had moved on so should they.Yes it was hard to do only cause of old friendshilp over the years..but something I had to do.I am better for it..more at peace and no drama to deal with there is a saying about not being tall enough to ride the drama coaster..it is so true.

Okay...So I had a weak moment today and had a lunch date with some friends...We went to Bertucci's and I got an individual lunch size mushroom pizza.

Needless to say, I felt guilty after the fact...However, it was so damn good...

Tonight i'm skipping dinner because I'm not hungry. Later on I'll have my reduced-fat cheeze-it's while watching my tv shows....

Pizza.... one of my downfalls! Not only do I love it, but it's always such an easy route to go when I don't want to cook. If we order pizza, I do my best to keep bags of salad or veggies in the fridge, so I allow myself to eat 2 pieces of pizza & make a salad to go with it.

Don't feel guilty Jackie... you kept it in moderation. A personal size mushroom pizza is not gonna kill you. See, you already had a game plan for the rest of the day, so you were good. I'm glad that you enjoyed the pizza date with friends!

Let's put this down on the list of crappy ideas:

It's 116 here today with a heat index in the bazillions. I thought it would be a stellar idea to get a big floppy hat and iPod and go walk the hills so I could sweat a bunch and lose a million pounds.

Well, BULL. SHIT.

I lasted all of 15 minutes before I realized it was an insane idea and that I was probably going to get heat stroke. (ya think?!!!)

I'm waiting a bit and gonna hit the exercise bike instead!

Default Breathing!

I wonder if anyone has any tips or tricks or good techniques for developing effective breathing while exercising?

I've re-started the couch to 5k program www.c25k.com ... again. It may kill me. Running is hard and I don't like it. I never did.

I can walk, swim, kayak or nordic ski for miles; but running just seems painful and impossible to me.

However, I am doing c25k because:
a) I need to step up my aerobic exercise from power walking so I don't plateau
b) I need to have a more time economical exercise routine, sometimes an 60-90minutes of walking isn't always practical in my daily life
c) I am ridiculously stubborn and the fact that I have continually failed to get past week 3 of this program means I feel compelled to prove to myself that I can.

But a week and a half in to it I'm realizing I need some advice and tips on proper breathing techniques.

I understand diaphragmatic breathing and can do it when I'm standing still but I can't seem to get it to work when I'm moving, especially when I'm running. I don't know if its a rhythm issue or a coordination issue or a thinking/doing issue --- but I've always had the same trouble when I've taken pilates or yoga classes and I've never been able to meditate (but that may be a different issue).

Does anyone have any back-to-basics learning to breathe advice? podcasts? exercises?

Well Rosie...I must confess... As planned I DID NOT eat dinner. However, I settled for a large soft serve vanilla ice cream cone with chocolate jimmies (sprinkles).... So you see, I'm bad...very bad

""We are acceptable now..."

Those words ring so much truth. We forget that we are worthy of living! I am guilty of avoiding certain things because I am insecure. I went to hawaii and didnt wear a bathing suit! One day I looked at T and told him I was tired of not doing things because of my weight. While I have gotten better, I am far from where I need to be with confidence. I dont even like to take pictures of myself lol Oh jeez! This thread makes me open up like a book! In any case, We are worthy of living DAMNIT! And those that judge us and think otherwise..."fuck 'em" *curtsy* sorry I have been cutting down on my profanity to only 5 times a day lol

I totally feel you on this one Sunshyne! Putting our lives on hold for eventful day "when we lose weight" does not work! I've been guilty of it myself. I refuse to let my fear of what others MIGHT think & insecurities stop me from living my life to the fullest potential!

You got this pretty lady... keep your head raised high & go out there and do your thing!!!

You have friends here that will love and support you through it!
I know your absolutely right, and yes J can be a very big bully ~ he admits he doesn't care if he hurts someone, they can either suck it up or move on and then when I get upset he wonders why. Gee what could be the matter, insulting Me all the time and thinking its comical? Sorry, NOT funny. I know he has weaknesses and I can tell more now than ever he is trying to compensate for that by being mean to others. I'm learning My lesson very fast when it comes to him ~ My patience is wearing thin with him and if it comes down to Me walking, then I will have no problem walking away from that negativity!

I've always had a problem with letting negative attitudes get to Me, but I guess alot of that stems back from My childhood when I was constantly getting bullied and teased by the kids at school for being overweight. My dad has the same kind of negative attitude towards Me (plus many others) and since living with My parents is the only option right now I have to deal with it. I know that I am going to go places very soon, once My sister is back in school I am going to look into either a part time job or full time school ............. either way, come September I'll be working to get on My own pretty quick :-)

Well....diet coke (or even worse, coke free) was a big addiction for me. If they were in the house, I would drink them...a couple a day. If they weren't in the house, I'd frequently be asking Scoote "can you bring me home a Coke Free honey?"

Addiction.

I would crave them.

Well, it's been a few weeks and....although it was difficult in the beginning...I don't crave them at all anymore. Poof! Gone! I'm totally satisfied with my water, iced tea, Sobe or coffee (or the occasional V8).

It's too early to tell what the long term effect will be. But here's the interesting parallel....I crave sweets much, much less often as well.
My BIGGEST downfall is Pepsi, I've tried stopping them but I don't know what it is I just can't seem to do it on My own. Water is not something I'm fond of and even Crystal Lights don't seem to do it for Me ........... am I doing something wrong? Or am I maybe too used to them that My body craves them even more? I really don't know but I'm going to try again in the next day or two to really get back on a water kick (I was doing so well for a couple of days too). Well it happens we all fall off the wagon, but I'm determined to get back on it and ride off into the sunset

Yes it is hard and since basically 99.99999999999999999999999% of the family on both My mom and Dad's side have labeled us the "black sheeps" of the family, My only true support is My mom and one friend (besides all of My friends here on BFP). I've learned to ignore than bull crap and have been living My life the best way that I know how ........... so far so good, there are always things to improve but things could definately be worse!

Not saying at all that anyone but me is responsible for my health but I do think that we have to be super-diligent about surrounding ourselves with people who are positive, supportive, evolved, and invested in US in healthy ways.

Most of all, you need to be able to say to yourself that your health is a priority for YOU and than nobody has the right to stand in the way of that. You need to be able to look around at the people in your orbit and know that they love you, support you, and want nothing but the best for you not because it will bring something good to *them* but because it will be good for *you*.

Also, don't base your happiness on the "what you'll do when...." stuff. Don't get caught up in "when I lose weight, I'll go on a cruise..." or "when I lose weight, I'll buy a new car...".
Because ultimately, you're alive right now. Get the car. Go on the cruise. Wear that dress. LIVE. Unabashedly.

We're perfect just the way we are. We'll be perfect when we are both larger and smaller, fatter and thinner. Our bodies are not the single determining factor in our "acceptability". We're acceptable NOW!
