About a month ago, at 200 lbs, I started (and have since stuck with) my very first strict weight loss plan. Since December 13th, I have been pushing myself beyond my limits in hope to reach my goal of 150 lbs by May 10th, 2011. I have been going to the gym 6 days a week for an hour at a time. My eating habits have changed drastically. Since December 13th, i have lost a total of 14 lbs. I’ve never felt so good about myself.
I reached my heaviest my senior year of high school. My mother didn’t die, I wasn’t stressed out, I wasn’t depressed, I didn’t have an excuse. I just liked to eat and didn’t like to exercise. On my graduation day in 2008, I weighed in at 220 lbs.
Over the next year, I got a boyfriend, gained some confidence and some somewhat short term motivation and lost 10 lbs that year. I felt good, but after moving 3,000 miles away from my family and friends to live with my boyfriend in California- I lost my motivation. I was just excited to be around him for longer than a week at a time and felt that every day was worth a celebratory dinner because we had finally made our relationship a permanent and realistic thing. Over the next year, I didn’t gain any weight- but I didn’t lose any either.
I have a great support system that is doing nothing but motivating me and pushing me to my limits. I’m making this blog as a reminder to myself that I can do it. As a reminder that I am making progress, even on the days I’m feeling like I’m seeing no results. I need this positive reinforcement. I will be posting pictures of my progress. I don’t need your sympathy and I especially don’t need your rude remarks. My body was beautiful when I graduated high school and my body is beautiful now. But in order for me to reach my peak of happiness, I need to reach my weight goal. I hope I can have all of my followers support! I thank you in advance. I’ll be updating my photos every Thursday and trying to update on my food intake and exercise plans every day. I'm excited to have you on this journey with me! Wish me luck!!
ASDLFKSDLK you look so good! My 1st long term goal is 143 lbs because that would put me at the top of a healthy BMI weight range for my age and height. I can't wait to get there! I'm so happy you are doing this blog. I update about my weight loss at least every Monday on my livejournal (robo_reptarrrr.livejournal.com) and usually more often than that. I weigh every Monday though. :D
