When you’re sick or injured, you should put a halt to any weight loss endeavor so you can heal and get better.
I broke my pinky toe once (it’s surprisingly tremendously painful for such a small bone) and it was 6 weeks of not even being able to walk far so I laid low and watched my calorie intake like a hawk. My broken toe was fine (I had to wear sturdy hiking boots 24/7 for 6 weeks, even in bed) but the limping about it gave me excruciating leg cramps.
Just eat what you need to cover your BMR so you won’t gain weight. You don’t gain weight because you do not do anything; you gain weight because you eat too many calories so lay off the junk food.
Why do people at weddings feel the need to lose weight beforehand, and show up with emaciated desperate faces?!? Look at Kate, thank goodness she’s married now and can stop the nonsense of her nice face looking more emaciated week after week.
Your knee injury is a blessing in disguise as you should not work “hard” to lose weight with a deadline and end up with a messed up metabolism for the rest of your life.
Go to that wedding well fed and happy. Compliment other people on how great they look, even if they have desperate emaciated faces, they will love you for that as they will be too busy worrying about what you think about them to worry about what they think about you, after THEIR months long “hard” weight loss endeavor.
If I’m thinner and fitter than my friends, then I make sure I look older or do not dress as nice (I do not die my hair, do not use make-up or jewelry and I wear clothes that I could sleep in) so they do not envy me or resent me. If I dress sharp with high heels, use make-up and jewelry, I’ll attract annoying horny guys and completely repel the fun female element.
I’m a great guest to your party. I’ll show up like I’m coming from next door after a short nap, and help you cater to your other guests and zoom in the kitchen to fill up the dishwasher and when I’m busy-busy doing stuff, I’ll compliment people on how they look and they’ll confide in me, thinking I’m a great person because I’m not there just to be there and socialize, I’m there to make sure the kitchen stays clean. I have a purpose and if I ask them for some help, they’ll be delighted.
If I ask a beautiful young woman who is well dressed wearing uncomfortable high heels shoes, using make-up and wearing jewelry, if I ask her to help me and go to the bathroom downstairs and get me the Woolite Heavy Traffic Carpet Cleaner so I can fix that red wine stain on the carpet because somebody spilled some wine...she’s feel useful and not just pretty. I could get the cleaner myself but I want her to feel useful and she will be useful and feel grateful about it...It is called empathy, knowing how people feel and how they should feel or what they want to feel.
The wedding you’re going to in a month and a half is not about your weight on a scale. It’s about developing empathy and making other people feel good about themselves. It’s like developing the art of listening and be genuinely interested in others, focusing your interest outwards instead of inwards and not worrying about your weight or you physical appearance, as long as it is non-threatening unlike a Brad Pitt/Johnny Depp look.
