30 to 40 lbs less so 170 or 180 lbs
Why do you want to lose weight?
So I can look and feel better. I want the self confidence I once had. I want to be healthy and be active without getting out of breath super easily.
Do you want to lose weight for a specific life event such as wedding or reunion? If so, when is that event? No
What obstacles could get between you and your weight loss goals?My depression. I do a lot of emotional eating. It's my worst enemy.
Why do you think that you now have a weight problem?I think I've overate a lot. I love the taste of food. I eat when I'm emotional or bored. If I'm happy I notice I don't have much of an appetite.
What lifestyle changes do you think would help you lose weight?I think I could lose weight by doing thinkgs that are fun but require activitiy. I also think I should get control of my emotions.
Have you lost weight in the past? If so, what has worked in the past to help you lose weight? I lost 15lbs in one month taking phentermine last year but I quit taking it and I kept the weight off for quite a while until I started binge eating.
Why do you believe that you did not lose weight or you gained the weight back? binge eating. I quite phentermine because it was too expensive and lost my job.
What, if anything, has not worked for you in the past in helping you to lose weight? Diet pills. Why do you think it did not work? I wasn't really dedicated to a lifestyle change and was looking for a quick fix which I now realize is stupid and a waste of energy and time.
Would you try writing down all food and drink consumed for a given period of time?Yes
Do you cook at home often? If so, what do you cook? No my husband does most of the cooking and he makes a lot of meat
How often do you go out to eat? Where do you go? Yes, we eat too much fast food
What are your three favorite foods?I love all kinds of food so it really wont be hard for me to stick with healthy foods. I just need to learn to not overeat even the healthy choices.
What are your three favorite restaurants? Not sure
What are three things you can do differently when it comes to food?I can eat less, eat more veggies and fruits, and drink just water.
If you woke up tomorrow and your body was exactly the way you want it, what would be different? Great question. I would feel better. I would be more confident and overall happier. I could fit into my old clothes again. I would shop. I would go run around and not get out of breath. I would enjoy sitting indian style and I would be able to focus on the other important things in life again instead of focusing solely on my weight. I would feel pretty in front of my husband and have great sex.

What is your daily/weekly/monthly/yearly motivation to move towards your goals?I think to myself everyday now of how I've become someone I'm not, a loser really, and I motivate myself by thinking of what I want to be and how impressed I will be with myself as well as how other will be impressed with me once I start achieving my overall goals. But I'm still searching for that other motivational thing that will keep me going when I'm off the tracks.
Do you have rewards for certain goals? No but I'm going to come up with one.
