Diary of a Fat White Woman

Ok so yea it’s been a few months since I’ve posted and I apologize. For a while I was really feeling down about things.

So what’s new you ask? Well last week I finally managed to find a dietitian (3rd one I contacted) who would take me on. I spent 2 hours with her and she told me I definitely wasn’t eating enough. She said I was eating about 1500 calories a day and I needed 2100. So she came up with a good meal plan for me and as of yesterday (Monday) I am going by that. It’s alot of food though and feels strange to be eating so much.

The biggest news is that I have joined Curves. I went in the other week and checked out their equipment and talked to them. They have times when it’s quiet in there with very few people which is what I wanted. I’m not ready to be jiggling around and struggling on equipment in front of other people. Their equipment holds upto 450 lbs and even though there are a few pieces I can’t get onto yet there are quite a few I can. So I joined up. I mentioned it to a friend and she had always wanted to try it but didn’t want to do it alone. So she went in and joined up too. Yesterday was our first session. We met with the trainers and were shown how to use each piece of equipment. It was hard work and my back and feet were killing me after but I felt good. I am a bit sore today but that is to be expected. Patty works 7-2pm so we go around 2:30/3:00 in the afternoon which means I have to take time from work but my boss is perfectly fine with that. He is very supportive (his wife had gastric bypass a few years ago so he understands the struggles).

So I weighed myself yesterday and was 451.5 lbs. I’m going to Curves again on Thursday. We’ll see how this goes. Stay tuned!!
