Just a quick message before I'm off to class - Hey, I'm back! I hope everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving! I definitely gained some weight, but I knew it was going to happen.. However, I feel like trying to get back on the bandwagon this time is slightly harder, haha. Yesterday I made myself cookies, and the day before I had a McFlurry. Yikes! Hopefully getting back on EP will put me back into the 'losing mood!'
Hope everyone has a great day!!!
I won't lie, I am mildly afraid for next week. I've been living on my own now for four months, and I have been mildly okay with my eating. The only time I just go crazy is when I eat out, and that just so happens to be all the time (damn you grad school and your crazy schedule!!).. but I'm trying to do better. But next week I will be home for Thanksgiving break, and my mom, no lie, could be the best cook in the whole world. I am in no way, shape, or form blaming her for me being so overweight, but she did play some sort of role. In my family we cook a lot, we eat a lot, and you have to clean your plate. I know this isn't going to change for Thanksgiving...and by a lot of food, I mean a lot of food. I won't list it because it will remind me that I'm starving, haha. I just don't know if I have the will power to resist eating out with mom and dad, denying late night diner runs with my brother and sister, and finally the gigantic, beautiful bird that will be in front of me.
I know I just have to remember my progress so far, and not get upset if I gain. But I am still nervous. I probably won't be updating for the next week (going to be spending time with the fam <3), so wish me luck! (and of course luck to you, my lovely blog readers!).
Hopefully this year I will be able to hold myself back from that second slice of pie (because I'm sorry, but you bet your ass I will be having a slice!)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
I finally did it! Lost that extra pound to reach my 'Lose 10lbs by Thanksgiving' Goal =)! It took me a while, I really do need to stop eating so badly and stressing so much, but I finally got there.. now for another goal... hmmm?? Thanksgiving is going to be difficult, my mother is such a great cook, and I will not resist temptation, that I know.. so how 'bout my new goal is "Don't get pissed with weight gain from Thanksgiving, and try to loose 5lbs by January 1st". Sounds Fantastic!!
Yay so happy!!!
Bleghghghgh!! Okay - so let me first tell a story. I bought four bags of candy this year thinking that my apartment complex was going to be swamped with kids trick or treating this year. I GOT NO ONE. Not one kid stopped by my door! What the heck!??! When I was younger I hit up every single house in my neighborhood - I left no stone un-turned! (I mean I was a fat kid 
).. So I've been stuck with four bags of candy.. and of course my old habit of mindless eating apparently has also been stuck with me. I've put back on weight - back to 240lb, because of all the Halloween candy. Grrr! I don't know why I couldn't just stop myself - ugh! But I guess this is just a moment to grow from. I still have tons of learning to do about myself and the food I eat.
I will get to my goal by Thanksgiving however, I am determined. I jogged for a little bit today, I was SO PROUD of myself. I think I've mentioned this before, but I've never been able to jog. In gym class when we had to run the mile I was the one that was dead 30 seconds in then took the failing grade and just walked. Today I jogged for a solid five minutes. It doesn't sound like much, but to me that is a miracle! Hahaha. So I guess some news isn't all that bad!
But anyhoo, a couple of people have sent me messages and left me comments on my blog - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You all are such an inspiration to me, and to know people out there are going through what I'm going and then reacing out with kind words is one of the most beautiful things ever. I wish you all the best!! And for your information, for some reason my comments don't post on people's blogs - I want to respond, but it isn't popping up! I have to e-mail someone about that.. But just know that I'm there rooting for you too as you are for me!
Good luck everyone! Remember NEVER GIVE UP, WE CAN DO THIS!!! =)
I'm only 1lb away from making my Lose Ten By Thanksgiving Goal!! Yay!! So excited! Man, I was 241lbs f-o-r-e-v-e-r! Goodbye 250's/240's and hello 230's! Only 40 more pounds to go before I'm under 200!! I hope everyone else is reaching their goals! Good luck!!
So this morning I stepped on the scale and it said 238! That would be 10lbs lost baby!!! But, sadly I don't weigh myself in the morning, rather the afternoon, and by then it was back at 241. UGH! But hey, I hit my goal in the morning! Hahha, I know I shouldn't of stepped on the scale and just waited til the afternoon, but I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. Seeing that 238 made me remember that I can do this. I can loose the weight slowly but surely, and eventually I will drop below 200!
Goodluck to everyone out there! I know you can do it, even if it is very slowly like me. Just don't get discouraged, because no matter what, it will come off eventually!
I'm really proud of myself today. When I got home all I wanted to do was nap - I was beyond tired - and I sat on my couch trying to convince myself not to go to Curves. I can't believe I just typed that, but yeah, I sat on my couch telling myself that I don't have to go today because I went Monday and Tuesday, and that I will definitely go tomorrow. I must of carried on this convo in my head for a good 10 minutes before I was like, ENOUGH! I cannot believe I'm debating why I shouldn't go to the gym! So finally I picked myself up and walked my fat butt down there - and I had a great workout! I actually ran into my one favorite professor too, so that was fun. Granted she saw how sweaty I can get, but it was something we laughed about. I'm proud that I corrected myself today, I think it's a sign that I'm finally going in the right direction. ... but with that I should tell you that today I ate at Chipotle and had a huge bowl of icecream, and yesterday I had Taco Bell... . . .I'm kinda in the right direction hahaha. I'm almost there! But hey, progress is progress!
My weight has been in a stand still. It has been 242 for some time now, hahaha, and it is really annoying! I suppose it is because I haven't been eating all that good (I'm sorry - but Halloween candy being put out a month in advance is just a DISASTER waiting to happen!)... so I need to jump back on that bandwagon =).
Positive note though, I joined Curves today as well as their nutrition classes. I'm really hoping the added exercise and guided meal plans help me along my path. I had joined Curves before when I was 14, and frankly I don't know why it didn't work then... they are so nice! Well hopefully it will work now =).
I'm coming for you 199!! You better watch out!
I feel like this whole blog has been so negative. I know I have been in a rut with a lot of things, and just stressed overall, so I need to get myself out. So this entry is dedicated to only good news! (But we technically have to start with bad news first) ...
I just weighed myself and I am up 2lbs. I'm not going to put it in my tracker for a number of reasons...
