My boyfriend says he loves my legs how they are. I appreciate his kind words, but sometimes I think, how could he? I have nice calves, but from the knees-up it just looks like a disaster. Cellulite. FAT. I'm so sick of being self-conscious about it.

My advice: take the compliment, and even if you still feel insecure, don't press your BF--guys hate it when we harp on ourselves, especially if they think we look fine and they've already told us that before. For your own sanity, concentrate on what you do like about them--the calves! And trust me, weight-training is very good at improving the appearance of cellulite--IMO, it may not work for everyone!

Stay positive! :D

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That said, if you don't like it, you have to change it. And you are doing what it takes to make progress, so be patient. :)
 
Patience--something I have always had a problem with, but I'm getting better. I'm feeling much better about everything. Thank you for the kind words! I know I look at myself much more critically than others, and I will probably never be completely happy with my legs, no matter how they look. I feel like I'm doing the right things to "burn" the fat on my body and I'm eating healthier than ever (most of the time!). Even if my legs aren't perfect, I think I have a nice stomach. :)

Oh yeah, and I weighed this morning...151...at 150 I might post more pictures, if I can see a difference from the 155 pics.
 
I hate writing papers! I think this one I am working on will turn out to be a good one though. The transformation of the wilderness throughout Faulkner's novel Go Down Moses and its meaning...any thoughts?

Breakfast:
1.5 cups Go Lean crunch
1.5 cups soymilk

Lunch:
3 veggie fajitas-3 wheat tortillas, 2 cups sauteed veggies, 1 tbl margarine, 0.75 cups refried beans, 0.5 cups Spanish rice, 5 chips with salsa (the measurements are a rough estimate and are probably a little over)

Dinner:
1 Nature Valley Pecan Crunch bar
1 banana
1 cup vanilla soymilk

Snack:
1 piece dark chocolate

Exercise:
Ran 3 miles-extremely windy/cold conditions (for this time of year, anyway). I felt like I was crawling.

I am incredibly restless today, for some reason. I have a lot of schoolwork to do but it isn't nerves. As dorky as it sounds, I'm excited about school starting again. I like school! I have a sorority meeting tonight too, and I'm excited about seeing all my sisters. Maybe I've had too much sugar...not sure. I won't get to work out today because I've got a paper to finish (only 3 1/2 pages left!) and a Philosophy reading assignment to do (15 pages and 20 questions). I'm proud of myself that I've gotten so much work done today. I wish I could go out and run but I will have to keep working on homework, in my pajamas.

If you haven't seen them, check out my before/after (during, really) facial shots in the "Before and After" section.
 
Casey...this has nuttin to do with nuttin but....

Just reading your diary (first time) and realized that atMartin was UT at Martin...and got all excited (well, sort of) cause I did three years at UTK and transferred to UTC for Senior year...and all this time I was thinking Martin was your last name:D
 
Breakfast:
1.5 cups shredded wheat
1.5 cups soymilk

Lunch:
1 box raisins
1 banana
1 serving mixed nuts
1 square of dark chocolate
1 cup apple juice

Snacks:
1 Nature valley granola bar
1 cup vanilla soymilk

Dinner:
1 1/2 cups red beans
Saltines (8 or 9)
1.5 tbl peanut butter

Snacks:
1 cup vanilla soymilk
LOTS OF chips (probably 2.5 cups)

Exercise: off day

I was doing great until I had my chip extravaganza. At least they're all gone and I don't have to worry about them anymore.

Tomorrow---lifting weights with my boyfriend! chest and arms. I hope it goes okay!
 
Speaking of breasts...
mine have gotten smaller since I've lost weight! I'm so happy! I was a 36D when I weighed 160 and now I am probably a 34D or 34C. I hate the big things--they just get in the way. The only good thing they do is make my waist look smaller!

I have started eating 1 piece of dark chocolate a day. It's helping me curb chocolate/sugar cravings without feeling deprived. I get the Dove chocolates that have the messages on the wrapper. Today mine said "Don't think about it so much." It really applies to my life right now. Instead of overthinking my food and exercise, I just need to listen to my body and use common sense. I know what to do.

I am going to the pool at 1 for Swim class, then at 2:30 I'm going to the fitness center to lift weights with my boyfriend.

I took a few pictures of my legs last night and it made me realize they aren't as bad as I think. It made me feel a lot better.

Tonight I have an English paper to write...comparison/contrast of Victorian authors...very high school but I can work with it. Wish me luck!

Casey
