Hello everyone! My name is Lisa and I am a 21 year old college student whose lifestyle is finally catching up with her! I am actually just getting over a bad breakup and realized how bad I allowed the other person to let me feel about myself. Everything just spiraled downward and I feared I wouldn't be able to take back control before it was too late. Thankfully, I am finally at the place where I see what a great person I am again and am ready to start treating myself with respect again. I've come to realize that the kind of lifestyle I lead has a lot to do with the level of self-respect that I have for myself. Finally I am getting some sense of that back.
As far as goals...it's not even just the weight. I want to reshape my lifestyle and live more positively! I'd be happy with 30 pounds or so overall but the number is not the most important thing to me. I want to feel good about myself again and FEEL healthy.
Something I want to do is document how I feel on a day-to-day basis so that I can look back over time and see how it (hopefully) improves with my health.
Today: I feel fat, lazy, extremely tired, and unhealthy. I'm not proud of where I am at the moment and just feel generally run-down and unattractive. But I know that I'm on a good track, and I'm getting things figured out. And ultimately, I know the power to change all of this lies within me. I just have to find that strength and pull it out.
Starting tomorrow I am going to document everything that I eat and my weight everyday. I think that I am going to give myself small goals. Since my overall goal is only about 30 pounds, I think giving myself goals like 5 pounds will be really helpful. I don't have a goal date, but I do have a goal of consistency. I have a gym membership that has been sitting on the shelf getting rusty so I'm going to brush that off and get back into it.
Wow, sorry for rambling! I have just reached the point where I am fed up with myself and really determined to make a change once and for all!
Thanks for reading, hope to get to know some of you soon!
