Hey, and welcome to my journal. I will be using this to discuss my days through out my weight-loss journey. Being 13 and all, I have a pretty mixed up life. I was born September 25th, 1995. My "tragic" weight gain all began when I was 2, and I had a seizure, which temporarily messed up my metabolism, slowing it down dramatically. Though it's restored itself back to normal, unfortunaltly, my body hasn't. I am 232 pounds at the moment. Yeah, I know. I'm a fatass. My target weight is 150 pounds. I don't want to be a very skinny guy. I like muscle. Getting back to weight, I would like to lose all of it by December 30th, 2009. It's going to be extremely hard to reach, which means I'm going to have to work very hard. I am generally a driven person..except when it comes to eating right and exercising daily. Bringing me back to my personality, I am a College-Bound student, and I exceed highly in scores, and very smart and clever when it comes to solving problems, except when it comes to living a healthy life. My family is not supportive. I do not, and probably will not get help from my parents, which again, makes this so much harder for me. I also have two bad foots. Well... to sum this all up, I'm an obese, 13 year old guy with alot of problems, and invite you to come share my journey with everyone.
Oh, and pirates beat ninjas.

JOURNAL ENTRY #1
Current Weight: 232lbs
Current Height: 5'8
Hey, welcome to my first journal entry. I'm excited, and willing to share my weight loss journey with all of you. Anyways, getting to today, I didn't do much. Today was my last day eating junk, so I went a bit overboard. I had a few recees cups for breakfast. I woke up late. For lunch, I had some icecream, a big ham and turkey sandwhich, and coke. For supper, I had juice, a big plate of spaghetti, and a few pieces of garlic bread. Did I mention I went overboard? Yeah, I meant to do that. It's going to be my last very big meal for a long time. Also, around 4pm, I was bored, so I went down to the laundry room to look at old clothes, aka size large. I was thinking, ugh..if I lose all this weight, these shirts would fit again, and I could wear them. I loved the shirts. They were so cool. Now, I'm not saying I can't fit into a large, but I can't stand tight shirts. I like them relatively loose, so I wear XL. I actually put a few of them on, and I went melancholy. Well, I wouldn't say that, but I was sad. It seemed that it would take like, oh, 30 or 40 pounds until I could fit in it, and it made me all the more determined. Which brings me onto exercise for the day. Well, being my first "official" day of exercise, I did terrible. I played some Wii Fit, which I will talk about in more entries. I don't like to use it as a relied source for exercise, but it helps. I use it as a scale. I did 25 Jackknives, 3 minute jog(I know, I need to make it much longer.), some strength training, and a few stretches. Expect future exercise sessions to be much more intense. :\ Anyways, to finish off this entry, I would say this was not a healthy day, and tomorrow is when I get on track. Well, farewell, and remember, one day of hard work is one more step to a healthier me.
MOOD: Ticked off.
