Day 13

well, this week i only lost 0.2 pounds. i guess it's better than gaining. i knew not to expect much as i turned to food a few times this week for comfort.

this weight loss crap can get me to down in the dumps that it's just stupid. i know it's for my own good but the food just CALLS ME!

will keep exercising and hoping for the best.

i wonder if my attitude would change if i prayed about this.

Day 4

well so far so good *fingers crossed*.

i've successfully been around the 1500 calories per day and have exercised every day.

things i'm struggling with:

~ anxiety off and on
~ evening snacking
~ being patient for results; it's only been 4 days :p

have decided that i will be rewarding myself with a shoulder tattoo once i have reached my goal. super pumped about that. i have always wanted a full sleeve but have been to worried about what others would think and i don't want to be a fat girl with a sleeve, it doesn't nearly look as nice.

keeping with it!

day 1

i decided to write out my weight loss journey in hopes that it will leave me a little more accountable. if i'm honest with myself, i really hate this whole process and i curse myself for letting it get this bad.

i am approximately 25 pounds overweight and it's been driving me crazy for a long time now. i would say that it occupies my mind the majority of the day. i feel completely out of shape and i feel down right FAT!

i decided to join an online calorie counting website to track my food intake and exercise.

my short term goals are:

~ exercise at least 5 days a week even if that means just a 20 minute walk
~ lose 5 pounds by Friday, August 20th
~ stay under 1500 calories per day

i know i can do this, i just have to get in the head space to do it.

wish me luck :s
