cried my eyes out at target...(kinda long semi vent)

its really kinda funny story just thought id share/vent since im sure some of you girls can totally relate.
Background:
So ive always been a very petite girl and never really struggled with my weight. my first year of college i gained about 20lbs. and then went on like a psycho streek of diet and exercise and lost 20+ lbs. was in the best shape of my life.. then it was all down hill.. i prob. havent worked out since that year never noticed it cuz i was always very active..

well this past year or so since i got engaged i have been a full time student 7:30am-3:00pm m-f and i work 4 days a week after school till 9pm and sundays. so wheni do have time at home its STUDYING not dieting!

so that being said ive gained back those 20lbs. and as my mother states 'you got your grown up woman body' (im only 22 and she said i got my mommy hips ) any way my hips and thighs and belly have really GROWN..

so i went to target yesterday to pick up a new bag and look for a nice dress for V-day. Well as i walk in theres bathing suits out so i figure.. oh GREAT ill pick one up while they have all the sizes here and i can put it away for the honeymoon..

WELL i never cried so hard in my life.. i looked like a sausage! it was the most awful experience in my life.. it was so bad i just sat there and cried.. cried so hard i didnt know what to do with myself.

So i got the tony little gazelle for v-day (i know oh so romantic)so i can shed these 20 lbs and FAST! a little bit of and

I'm sorry you had that experience, but good for you for taking immediate action.

Re: cried my eyes out at target...(kinda long semi vent)

Awww..good luck with the work-outs. But, seriously, give yourself a little credit, weight can come and go, but to further yourself through school takes a lot of courage and stamina and endurance. Give yourself a for that!

i really cant afford to go.. my mom has the book i could follow. but im such a picky eater i feel like it would be so hard, i do better on my own diet, i call it the HALF diet!

ETA: we should make a late bloomer diet thread! i know theres girls that started it a while back! but im in a hurry !

Re: cried my eyes out at target...(kinda long semi vent)

Aww I'm sorry you had such a rough time. I think we all go through phases where we eat healthy and feel good about ourselves and then times where we hate out bodies and nothing feels right. I'm in the hating body phase right now . lol

When you are busy and stressed, it's so hard to diet and find time to work out. I think it's great that you took immediate action and bought that.

You can do it. We are worse to ourselves about our bodies.

You can do it! Don't be so hard on yourself!
