Sounds like you've got a good plan in mind already for next week! I was SUCH a procrastinator (but still a good student :-) in college. One of my professors explained why it worked for us though (she was a procrastinator too). She said that we would…

First off, I will say that you are doing SO well! If you're eating healthy and exercising as much as you are, you should not be worrying about a measly 10 pounds. That being said... I understand how frustrating it can be to not have the scale move…

Well, would you look at that? I've reached my personal goal for the week - two updates to my blog! And it wasn't too difficult either. I will say though...I am disappointed in myself for not finding the time to exercise this week. When I exercise (a…

@Shannon H...what a great idea! I really do hate the job I do itself, but I feel great when I get a lot of work done. Yesterday, I took your advice, and while I ended up working a 6 hour day instead of 8, it was more time than I would've put in if I…

I have always considered myself highly motivated when it came to my work, but have recently found myself stuck (and struck hard) with a sense of no motivation toward work at all. Someone advised me to focus on the next five minutes at a time and tha…

Ihave always been a person of convenience since I dont really cook all that often. However the costs of packaged snack and food is much more than if you spend just a few dollars on more natural (better for you options) fruit/veggies/tuna (tuna $1 a…

I am not trying to blame my poor eating habits on something or someone other than myself, but I feel as though my lack of money is really contributing to it. I eat whatever is in my house and a lot of times, that's just school snacks for my little b…

I've been giving up my goals far too easily as of late. With the exception of my fast food goal, I haven't been able to stick to a goal of mine for more than a week. Well that is about to change. My goal for this week (I figure one goal is enough..…

Truth be told - I completely forgot I had this account until someone added me as a friend. So a BIG thank you goes out to N. Hernandez for bringing me back to my blog. For the past 27 days, I have resolved to not eat fast food - AT ALL. I don't car…

Profile Information

About Me:
Age 9: I begin to hate my body because I start taking dance classes and I think the other girls are infinitely skinnier than I am. Truth be told, I was just as thin, but I was taller, so I thought I was big. FAIL.

Age 16: I stop taking dance due to financial issues and I gain about 15 pounds - making me a very normal weight for my height. In my head, I am a hideous beast and I need to lose that weight, PLUS the weight that I thought I could do without before. FAIL.

Age 19: I start dating a man who makes me completely miserable. He talks about my weight freely and although I was looking very good, he thought I needed to lose weight. He made me feel awful about the way that I looked and for some reason, whenever I was upset with him (which was A LOT) I would eat like crazy. I thought I was getting back at him or something. Fast forward two years...the relationship ends and I'm stuck with about 20 extra pounds. I feel worse than ever about my looks. FAIL.

Age 21: My dad passes away and I decide to get my stuff together and finally lose the weight because it's the healthy thing to do. My dad passed away because he didn't take care of his body and I wasn't going to have that happen to me. I wanted to live a long and healthy life. I dropped about 17 pounds and felt fantastic, but as the grieving process started to kick in, so did the cravings and the bingeing. By the end of the year, I had put back on the 17 pounds PLUS a few more. I have kept that weight on for the past two years and I've been miserable. FAIL.

And now...Age 23: My life couldn't be better. I have an amazing boyfriend, I'm in school (and have straight As), a family who loves me, and a new church. The only thing missing? I'm still 100% completely unhappy with my body. I obsess over it day in and day out. FAIL.

I started seeing a psychologist about it, and I thought I was doing much better, but I feel as though I've hit rock bottom. I eat nonstop everyday and I'm disgusted with myself. Any new diet craze I start, it never lasts the week and I'm sick of making excuses.

Yes, I compare myself to others too much.
Yes, I'm not where I want to be physically.
Yes, I'm upset my dad passed away.
NO...I'm not going to continue this vicious cycle.

I can change. I will change. I will have the body of my dreams. Just you wait and see...

Goal 1 - Reached!

Well, would you look at that? I've reached my personal goal for the week - two updates to my blog! And it wasn't too difficult either. I will say though...I am disappointed in myself for not finding the time to exercise this week. When I exercise (at least 3x a week), I ALWAYS see results, even if they're minor. I need to commit time to exercise in the future. I'm still debating on what my next goal will be for next week, so maybe it will be adding exercise to my routine. We'll see.

My last cla… Continue

Food and Money

I am not trying to blame my poor eating habits on something or someone other than myself, but I feel as though my lack of money is really contributing to it. I eat whatever is in my house and a lot of times, that's just school snacks for my little brother (tastycakes, chips, cookies...etc.). There is rarely a meal cooked and ready for me to eat it. I can't say for sure that I wouldn't still be swiping school snacks if there were meals ready-to-eat, but I like to think that I wouldn't.

I think t… Continue

Trying

I've been giving up my goals far too easily as of late. With the exception of my fast food goal, I haven't been able to stick to a goal of mine for more than a week. Well that is about to change.

My goal for this week (I figure one goal is enough...baby steps, right?) is to update my blog twice a week. Venting about my week and my frustrations can be very helpful and therapeutic, it's worth a shot.

I also plan to stick with the no fast food. My ultimate goal for that is to go 1 year without ha… Continue

Back on the Wagon

Truth be told - I completely forgot I had this account until someone added me as a friend. So a BIG thank you goes out to N. Hernandez for bringing me back to my blog.

For the past 27 days, I have resolved to not eat fast food - AT ALL. I don't care that KFC just came out with their 396 calorie meal, I'm not earting it for an entire year. And guess what? Since the first day that I resolved to do this, I've only indulged once! And that was like day 6 and I'm on day 27! I feel so great about that… Continue
