Back on Track

I had forgotten all about this site until a friend of mine (also a member) reminded me to check back in.

Well, I'm no thinner or heavier than I was a year ago when I wandered away from extrapounds.com.  This would upset me, except that I know it is not your mistakes that define you, but how you face your challenges.  Or something like that!

I'm moving back to my hometown in September- and getting an apartment with some friends.  It's been three years since I've lived there, and I really want to start this chapter of my new life with a fresh, healthier lifestyle.  I've even gone so far as to take a fitness and exercise class at my college- and I've gained a lot of tools to help me.  I had a fitness evaluation at my school's fitness center yesterday- I'll get the results at my followup appointment next Tuesday.

I should say a bit more- but I'm gonna head to bed early so I can work out in the morning before work.

BIG Issues

I am really bad at diets; I don't like following the rules, especially when there is something yummier waiting for me nearby.  If I do manage to lose some weight (never enough), I am lulled into a false sense of security;  I have reached part of my goal, now here is a treat.  Just one bite.  But let's face it- one is never enough.

This time, I am beginning a diet with my entire family- mother, sister, father, me.  We are all a bit plumpified (let's face it, the phrase "big-boned" only gets you so far) , and what better support/motivational group is there than one's own family?

I have set a goal for myself of 30lbs by November 27;  I have not been on the otherside of 150 since 7th grade.  That was a particularly stressful time in my life, and the stress only grew (like me) from there.  I found solace in the form of a vending machine..  Since then, I have become addicted to sugar, and have developed the bad habit of binge-eating.  Add to these the fact that I am a couch potato, and we have some really big issues.
