Hello. I'm Carrie.
Welcome to my Weight Loss Diary.
I'm excited to get started tomorrow and be on my way to reaching my weight loss goal. I want to be healthy and happy; those are the reasons why I'm doing this. I was 145ish pounds this time last year and various factors in my life have led my weight to rise.. and rise... and rise.
I know I can lose this weight.
I've done it before.
I'm going to be strict with myself, honest in this diary and monitor my weight-loss progress on a weekly basis.
Starting Weight: 196lbs
Current Weight: 183lbs
Short Term Goal: 165lbs (in the HEALTHY BMI range)
Long Term Goal: 135lbs
I'm going to be spending the summer in America. I want to look my best when I'm there.
WISH ME LUCK.
What is your current height and weight? 5'8, 182lbs
If you were at an ideal weight now, what would that weight be? 135lbs
At what weight would you like to be at four months from now? 155lbs
Why do you want to lose weight? For my health. To increase my body confidence. So I can wear niceee clothes. To look smokin' hot on the beach this summer. And so I can remember to appreciate how wonderful it feels to be slim.
Do you want to lose weight for a specific life event such as wedding or reunion? If so, when is that event? I've gained a lot of weight since I broke up with my ex and I haven't seen them since I've gained all this weight. I'm not allowing myself to go and visit my university town until I'm back to the weight I was a year ago. I'll get there.
What obstacles could get between you and your weight loss goals? The fact that I have a serious problem with binge eating
Why do you think that you now have a weight problem? Because I eat too much and find it hard to not eat more, even when I'm full.
What lifestyle changes do you think would help you lose weight? Eat less; move more. I already exercise I fair amount. I just need to control myself when it comes to the amount and SORTS of food I consume. Om nom nom.
Have you lost weight in the past? If so, what has worked in the past to help you lose weight? Countless times. When I was depressed after graduating, my weight plummeted to 135lbs and my body looked beautiful. But, no shit, I gained it back.
Why do you believe that you did not lose weight or you gained the weight back? I lost weight too quickly in the past. I starved my body. It wasn't a lasting solution to maintaining a healthy body weight.
What, if anything, has not worked for you in the past in helping you to lose weight? Why do you think it did not work? Fasting does not work. Because I'd not eat for a couple of days only to binge eat a million calories a few days later.
Would you try writing down all food and drink consumed for a given period of time? Definitely.
What do you normally eat for a meal? Breakfast is porridge. Lunch is a salad or jacket potato and baked beans. Dinner varies. I'm vegetarian.
What type of snacks do you eat? I love humous and pitta bread. Or rice cakes and peanut butter. I'm very keen on eating 5-a-day so I'm always snacking on fruit and vegetables.
In terms of exercise, what, if anything, are you currently doing? I run 3 days a week out on the streets now that the weather is nicer. I intend to up my work outs to daily light to moderate intensity exercise using work out dvds at home. I will also have a weekly personal training session.
Where do you go for exercise? A local public gym? School/work gym? Home? I work out on the streets or at the gym.
What is your daily/weekly/monthly/yearly motivation to move towards your goals? My motivation? Gosh. All the super hot women in movies and on tv shows. They inspire me. My desire to wear American Apparel clothes and not look like a heffalump is another motivating factor. Also, the fact that the season of showing skin is nearly upon us, that's definitely motivating me the most.
Do you have rewards for certain goals? Not really. I will reward myself; when I've actually achieved a goal.
