Well, this is my third diary and I have a good feeling it's going to be my last. I'm not overweight, but I'm still not happy with the way I look. I'm currently 133 pounds and my goal is 125. So pretty much, if I'm awake after 10 pm, I go crazy in the kitchen!! I dont know why, but it's crazy. I dont drink nearly enough water (maybe a glass a day). I'm way too inactive. Blah blah blah.
A bit of history. The highest I've gone is 140. I was at the doctor's office and when he weighed me, I was like "oh.. my god". I never did any exercise and my diet was like 10 hot pockets a day. My way of staying up late wasn't coffee; it was food. So I decided to make a life change. However, seeing as this is my 3rd diary, I end up saying whatever and stopping. The lowest I've been since I started losing weight was 130.5 pounds, but I'm at a good 133 now.
It's funny, because when a gentleman compliments me, I get more self conscience. I want to be comfortable in my own skin. Afterall, I'm the one that has to live with it for the rest of my life.
So I decided I would make weekly goals along with my weight loss. So every week, I'll try to not only lose a pound, but also an additional goal like drink more water. I want to be healthy, not just skinny. =)
In my past attempts, I didn't talk about losing weight with anyone or try to get any support. I just wanted to lose it all and then everyone would be like WHOA!! But, I learned that was a terrible way. I talked w/ my boyfriend and he is 100% behind me with it. So I feel completely motivated and optimistic for my future.
Wish me luck!!
Starting weight: 133
Goal weight: 125

This is mainly just a reference post for me =)
The Plan
Rules:
1) Only weight myself once a week.
2) Set a weekly goal along with a weight loss goal.
3) Count calories.
4) Share progress and difficulties.
5) Drink only water on a normal basis.
6) If week is good, allow a small treat. (if WEEK is good, not day. lol)
7) Pack lunch for work, don't go out and buy something.
8) Record everything, good and bad.
9) Focus on being healthy, not skinny.
10) Eat when hungry, not because I am bored.
Motivation: (something I can look at to keep going)
∙Be overall healthy
∙Shopping spree when I reach my goal :)
∙Being more attractive
∙Not being self-conscience
∙Being able to do more activities without being embarrassed
∙More energy
∙More emotionally organized
∙Being able to eat sweets without feeling guilty
∙Wear anything (no worries, I dont like flaunting my body)
∙Be happier with myself
∙Feel sexier when I get intimate with my boyfriend
Extra ideas:
∙Learn something new: Everyday, go out and learn something new about nutrition or weight loss and put it in the journal.
∙Switch it up: Change exercise routines periodically so there is no routine feeling.
∙Compliment: Every morning, look into the mirror and give a physical compliment. Record it in my journal.

I didn't eat too much today, but I'm at a good calorie level. I drank almost no water, so I'm going to try to drink a few glasses before I go to bed.

| So, I went downstairs to watch some t.v. and had a temptation for some ice cream. I resisted it for a while, but then I made a full out banana split and then had a burrito afterwards. =(

I took a walk down to the store for some batteries, so that was like 2 miles of walking today. Also, I got a Yoga dvd called 10 Minute Solution Yoga for Beginners. I wanted to extend my flexibility and Yoga sounds like a good stress reliever. I did one segment of it today so far.

So my boyfriend and I see eachother for one day a week, Sunday. We go to church and hang out until 5 pm. His aunt and uncle came in yesterday and today they were going to go to this place. Well, I found out that they didn't go and they are going to tomorrow, my one day with him.
It sucks.. I should be supportive, his aunt and uncle did come from Korea! But for some stupid reason, I can't stop being upset.

| I know the feeling Alicia. I think I'm on my 2nd diary. I've been playing around with these last 20 lbs forever. So I'm buckling down now to get the weight off once and for all. Good luck with your journey!
