MOUGHI's CalorieKing blog
Thursday, Jul 10 2008 - Seeing a different king of results
View MOUGHI's food & exercise for this day
I have waited a long time to see the results I am now seeing, but I am a little confused about them as well. I haven't lost hardly any weight in the past yet nor have my measurements changed all that much. Yet, my shape has changed and my muscles have gotten firmer that even some of my clothes don't fit me anymore. I really had doubts that this body could or would ever change like everyone said theirs was doing because I can't exercise like everyone else can. I have so many limitations to what I can and can not do, I just figured I would never see these kind of results, ever. I just didn't have high expectations because of my back condition and limitations. Maybe, I should have, or can have some. My hubby tells me I am getting a shape to me now in the back. I can now see it in the front. I've noticed the leg muscles are different, but all I see are those wings on my arms and that pooch of a stomach. I guess how we view ourselves plays a role in our expectations. I am reminded that I am thinking like a defeated person, and may I not be use kind words here, an over weight person who believes they will never lose their weight. I could never, and have never been able to picture myself as a person who could achieve top physical shape. I could however picture myself thinner thank goodness which I do believe is necessary for weight loss. Maybe this is my cue in my own brain for physical fitness.

I don't think your amazement has ended....I think there will be many more things you will be able to do that you never imagined. Keep doing what you're doing! Maybe these changes that you're noticing are a little scary and that caused you to have the binge you talk about in tomorrow's blog?

Hi Lory: Thank you so much for your comments at my blog! I read them and could feel my heart soften. Something I need right now. As for what you are facing, let me share what was in my guided journal one day this week: Luke 13:11-3; and then pastor wrote "We need to invest in our own deliverance. ... As believers, we often don't grow as fast as other people grow because we've been suffering for a long time. We are incapacitated. Often what is simple for one person is extremely difficult for another. [Jesus calls us anyway.]" I think the work and new habits you are building are an investment in your deliverance. And I see you have been called -- not just for yourself but as a leader, a guide, and an inspiration to others facing challenges. Thank you for your light.

Thank you for checking out my web page and your nice comments!
:) Wow, you've done awesome with your weight loss. 
:rock1: It is hard to change how we feel about ourselves....that's what I'm working on. Believing in ourselves is difficult. I agree with Denise about the great reward of muscle tone and shape that you're seeing.

We tend to look at our 'bad' parts first, while others see the complete person. Forget about the bat wings, look at your face, your legs, and feel the muscles. You've done a great job for yourself, and enjoy that.

My blog says it perfectly "Believe"....I believe in you Lory, you are doing so well. The main thing is you are doing what needs to be done and your body will do what it will do, nothing we can control there. You are doing fabulous and one day you will look in that mirror and say "who is that girl"?
