That brings me to the Accountability Project, I went to the Dietician today and what I heard wasn't as positive as I was hoping. The good news is that I am doing everything right! She looked over my food journals, discussed eating habits and exercising routine and everything looks good. The bad news is I got the fat gene and therefore may never be thin. She told me that there is lots of science that is yet to be done as to why the body does what it does when it comes to their bodies, and all bodies are different. She printed out this article for me to read which basically says if you have the fat gene your body works against you loosing weight. It's not all bad, it does say that if you are working at it like I am then you just don't get super fat. I could just throw my hands up, and say screw it and gorge, but then where would I be? I prefer to eat right, and have the ability to run for miles. So I'll keep up my routine and continue to try and find my way in the world of food, but from what I'm reading this is going to be a long drawn out process that is going to take years just for the upkeep. I'm not liking the idea of keeping up with this project for the rest of my life. So for now I'm ending my project, I was hoping for a more concrete plan, but she just assured me I'm already on the right path, so I'm just going to putter along and hopefully one day I'll be at the weight where I will be happy.

That pic of her one tooth on top is priceless. Blackmail for when she is older! Lol :) how lucky to loose both top teeth during Christmas time! Cute!
I totally read that article and almost cried. I know that I haven't been working as hard as I need to go get in shape, but doggone it if living the rest of my entire life counting every single calorie doesn't depress me. It really annoys me when Jack (mr. skinny pants) says that I'm just not motivated. arrrggghhhh.
Guili, I feel your pain! Did you have him read it? Maybe then he'll understand what we have to go through. Theo is supportive, but he still tries to give me 'advice' on the subject. I know his intentions are good, but it frustrates me when I feel I am already doing the things I should. And now I have confirmation from the dietician that I am. It's just our body types. Jack doesn't know this about me, but when I was going through my skinny phase, I was actually anorexic. So unless I go to that extreme again, I may never be thin. But that isn't the answer and I just have to keep doing what I'm doing and as long as I feel good physically I need to feel good with the way I look. Just hang in there, you're not alone!
It's so hard not to stress about weight, but I think living healthy and passing good habits and attitudes to our kids is most important. Somethings are beyond our control, which sucks because I'm type A. Just love yourself girl and remember that when the first resurrection comes we are all going o be smokin' hot! HeHe!
