"This is the last bit of junk food im going to eat, I swear!"

How many freaking times will I tell myself this??? I've been saying it for YEARS! Now I find myself in an uncomfortable spot, not feeling attractive, sexy or even worthy. Why am I so weak? DO I not have ANY self control???
*eats the last chip from my Jimmy Johns lunch*

I mean it this time. And im on here to have a sense of accountability because without that, I fail. Every time.

A light bulb flicked on in my head today as I accidently came across a photo of my Husbands Ex, in a 2 piece swimsuit. Not completely fit, but not fat either. But she looked better than I would in the same swimsuit. Im feeling jealous and FAT.
Last week I ordered a high top swimsuit online (huge mistake) and when I got it, it didn't fit my body right at all. VERY DISCOURAGING.

I'm just spilling thoughts. Feel free to comment below if you want but I find typing out my thoughts here really help me to stay focused.
I think I just need encouragement and I enjoy looking at the before and after's... if you guys can do it, I surely can.

Hey, thanks for the write-up! Whenever I need motivation I find myself looking on YouTube for weight loss exercises and different workouts. I enjoy watching them so much that I like to try them out myself. If you haven't tried it yet, highly recommended. Have fun with it :) Weight loss is a LIFESTYLE change. Be careful in which guides you follow. There are TONS of fad diets and lies.
 
Hi, Jamie & welcome to the forum. Of course, you can do it :) Eating junk food is not giving your body the respect it deserves. Starting a diary is a good thing. You will find moral support and you can ramble on to your heart's content. It's a friendly, non-judgemental space. Cheers, Cate.
 
Hey Jamie and welcome! I've found that holding myself accountable on my diary here really helps. I also keep track of calories on MyFitnessPal and that has really opened my eyes as to how many calories (empty calories, mind you) I was really consuming. Here to motivate you! We can do this! :cheers2:
 
Welcome aboard, jami3lynn!

Try not to beat yourself up too much over what you eat. On that front just try and do the very best you can on that front. How much you eat is the tougher and more important battle.

And yeah, you can do this.
 
Aw thanks everyone. I feel good today. I started out on a good foot. :party:
Monday Day 1.
Breakfast-Oatmeal with apples and berries & a coffee with a teaspoon of milk 2%
Snack- String Cheese & 16 oz water
Lunch- TBD
Exercise- a lot of walking around in heels at work.
Guilty Pleasure- 8oz sugar free redbull (5 cals)

Yesterday we had Fuddruckers for Fathers Day Dinner but being that we don't eat out very often it was a nice treat :)

I stepped on the dreaded scale this morning to see where I am, because its been awhile since Ive checked and I was 148.4. I thought id weigh over 150 for sure... guess I just feel bloated but I plan to drink tons of water to help eliminate water bloat. I know it helps... "a little ironic don't you think"? ;)
 
Yesterday I had a good day. I had some baked chips for lunch and I made myself 2 medium fajita tacos with white meat chicken a little light sour cream and a little cheese with sautéed onions and bell peppers. I also drank SO MUCH WATER!!! I woke up today feeling less bloated and I weighed 147.0 on the money. Down 1.4 lbs (im sure is water weight) but still super happy.
 
Awesome start! Another great way to burn calories without spending all day in the gym, is to get up every hour and walk around for 5 minutes. By the end of the day you would have done 30-60 minutes of walking depending how much you do it.
 
Drinking more water sure does help. It does sound crazy I know. Well done on the 1.4lbs Jamie.
