I was going to wait until I read through this whole thing, but this is as far as I got before hitting "reply."

First of all, congrats on the weight loss so far! Wanting to lose weight is one thing, but actually going through with it and committing is quite another. If you didn't have so much going on in your life, you'd still have more commitment than most people your age. But, considering the drugs, sexuality, etc, this really is quite commendable!

I'm hoping you've trashed your fast-food eating ways by now, but if you haven't, remember that spices you pick up at a grocery store can make cow/chicken/pig taste better when made at home than at a 'restaurant' and it will be healthier for you too.

In regards to your college aspirations (the real reason I responded at this point...I swear :)), I wanted to give you some advice. I'm a psychology major in my senior year (therapy - family issues, relationships) and really kicking myself for not keeping up with my studies when I started. To do any kind of therapy, you're required to go to grad school. It's not optional...and it's hard to get into. Don't forget your weight loss, don't forget to have fun, but especially don't forget to study hard. Finally, don't be afraid to change majors if your interests change. I did it 3 times before settling on psychology. If you need help with psychology courses though, don't be afraid to ask. I'm sure we're not the only ones here. :)

Lastly, don't get too nervous about what people think of your sexuality. If there's one thing I've learned since coming to college (bisexual male here), it's that the people who matter won't really care (aside from your parents, possibly - they might care and they do matter). But, if you need any help in regards to that, feel free to let me know. Having an older person that's gone through stuff already was (and still is) extremely beneficial to me.
 
Alright, I'm done reading and just wanted to wish you luck one more time. I hope my last post didn't come off as preachy...I want to be helpful, but sometimes I just don't know when to stop. :willy_nilly:

So, congrats and good luck continuing!
 
Hey! Welcome back!

Time to update that ticker if I'm not mistaken :p

Well done on the moderate holiday eating :)

Now, back to real life, hehe. What are your goals and missions for the next while, hmmm?

Hi Sportsobsessive! You seem cool! Will be watching your posts :)
 
Hey guys! Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
Haha, I can't seem to give up eating out... I just try to eat healthier when I go out. I am, after all, 17 years old. ;)
I kind of ate without really thinking today, so I hit the middle end of my goal. I think it was easier when I was on vacation because there was always somewhere to walk to and someone to walk with. Oh well. Just gotta get back in the swing of things.

:D

Byesss!!

<3 Annie
 
Oh haha sorry Anke. I forgot to address your question. It feels kind of like I'm losing focus, I sometimes don't care what I'm eating even though in my head, I'm screaming, NO DON'T EAT THAT CRAP!! PUT IT DOWN, WALK AWAY!!!. I don't know. It's a little disheartening to see the daily fluctuations-- I think I'll move towards weighing myself less often.

Gah.
But anyway, everything else is all right. My brother moved back home because he was living with his girlfriend and they broke up. I think what really broke his heart was the baby. It's not his, but he had kind of grown attracted to the little guy. So had our whole family. He said they've agreed to keep on friendly terms with Megan, so everyone can still watch him grow up.
:willy_nilly:
So Yeh.

I love you guys!
 
Well then TIME TO GET REDEDICATED, REMOTIVATED, RECOMMITED AND POWERED UP!!!

Make yourself a daily checklist for how much food to eat and stick with it... (I have a template I could email you? - it's for 1400 cals)

Then decide when you're gonna do what exercise (like schedule it in... Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and then DO IT! Even just little walks :)

Awww, that must be terrible for your bro... glad that they're staying on friendly terms!
 
I did quite okay today! (Okay, I caved. Popcorn chicken and mozzerella sticks... but you gotta indulge every once in a while!!) I did, however stay under 1300 cal! YAY!
haha... I need to get on that blasted treadmill. :(

Awesome Job! I hear ya on the indulging every once and a while-- I mean we are human arent we!! Hope you kicked the treadmills butt ;)
 
Okay. I WILL do the treadmill today!! GAHHHHHH.... I feel like I did when I first started. Although I am at 205.6!
Granted, it will fluctuate, but just a little, if at all. :D
Bleh. I'm so nervous about starting college up again, and to compound my nerves I have to get 2 overrides to get into classes that are full. One of them I SWEAR got paid for but then somehow got dropped (this is my dad's class-- he's the professor) and to top it all off I got the bitchiest woman possible on the phone when I was trying to get the overrides. I felt like screaming in her ear "SHUT THE F*** UP! YOU'RE BEING A BITCH AND I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING TREATED LIKE I'M A F***UP! SO SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH BEFORE I SHUT IT FOR YOU!"
sheesh. Some people just really piss me off.:rant:

Sooo.. yeah. I really do need to get up there and get moving on that infernal contraption.

-------------------------------------------------------------
HOLY HELL. I just got the call back from "Eileen" at the college and she was actually quite nice to me. Jeeeeeezzeeee, make up your mind, bitch. :)
-------------------------------------------------------------

okay, well, bye!

<3
 
So I just found out that "Eileen" is a good friend of my dad's and apparently I've met her before and she was really nice and I loved her. :willy_nilly: The world is all topsy turvy!!

AHHHH!!!! haha... enough of that.

I went to red lobster tonight. I almost got a full plate of crab linguine alfredo (I looked it up, over 1100 calories!! <eek!>)

Sooo... I got a half plate with 12 fried shrimp and mashed potatoes. Needless to say, that wasn't any better than the full plate AND I could have gotten fresh fish instead, but old habits die hard. :( Gah.
Still haven't done the treadmill

byes.
 
Hey Lily, I like your thread. Noticed you go to school in VA, and you dad is a Prof. Which one? I went to W&M in Williamsburg. VA has some great state schools.

He's a professor at Shenandoah University and Lord Fairfax Community College. He's like a super dad- he works three jobs just so we can afford to go to the beach. He really is amazing. He's really caring and he's always there for me when I need it. He never once got angry at me when I was going through all that crap. He understood. :) I love my dad!
I am currently going to Lord Fairfax and just taking it a step at a time. I think there's some anxiety woven throughout my problems, but I'm working really hard at it.

:)

Thanks for stopping by!
:D <3

Sounds like you dad is super hard-working and very kind. You're lucky to have such good people in your life!
 
Oh yeah, I really am lucky to have such great parents!

haven't eaten so far today (just woke up haha). I don't know what the day holds, grocery store perhaps? The grocery store used to be my caloric downfall. I would always get one bottle of soda to drink in there and then buy another on the way out for dinner. Now I just have diet soda :).

Hoping to go out to eat for lunch, McD's maybe. You can actually get a relatively low cal meal there. Kid's nugget meal with apple dippers instead of fries. Although, I have to admit, I almost always get fries :drool5:

Haha... You must be online right now, David. Thanks for giving me something to do :)

I Totally know how you feel about overrides-- I always have to run around and get signatures from my professors to get into a lot of my classes because I dont have the pre-requesite or because theyre full or whatever, its sooo stressful! They should really just create more sections and times to be more flexible with so many students trying to fit a class into their schedule. But at least Eileen ended up being really nice, maybe she was just having a bad day on the phone ;)
 
haha... They set me up in my classes then dropped them for non-payment even though they SAID I have a grant (which I have no clue HOW I got, I don't remember filling out any forms...) and that I didn't have to do anything, that my grant money would cover it automatically.
I noticed this yesterday and I can't call because it's the weekend and nobody's there. GRR. :banghead:
annnnnnyway... Lazy sunday before class starts tuesday... I'm so nervous. I think my medicines kind of dull my moods (Thank god!) so I'm not jumpy or anything, just anxious. Oh well.

My mom's making peach jam. Smells amazing. We're having hamburgers and corn on the cob for dinner. I might even try some zucchini/squash/other veggie I don't think I like. It's something about the floppiness of cooked squash and zucchini and the texture that makes me gag, but I'll try it, just so I can say I tried.

My brother's back at VT and we went to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 yesterday with Megan (his ex). They're on friendly terms, and my sister and her have become like best friends. They kind of leave me out which makes me sad, but I guess I have my own friend. Yes, friend. Singular. She's the only one I see and she's the only one who makes an effort to see me. I hate how all my friends never initiate conversation or ANYTHING. I'm always the one who has to strike up the conversation, and I run out of things to say relatively quickly, so I'm left hanging while they talk to someone else. Grr.
205.4!!
that's over 25 lbs!!
hahahaha YAYYYYYYY!

Thanks for reading my babbling messages guys, I dont have a therapy appointment until the end of september ;)
Byess!
