I weigh myself everyday. It's habit and I can't help the curiosity. I don't usually gain. I lose a lot when I start dieting because I'm so overweight. I don't know, it's just my body. I've dropped five lbs this week. =) There's also that 'water weight' stuff that I don't understand.
I have been avoiding the junk food, trying to replace things with healthier alternatives. Yesterday my sister got taco bell so I stole some of her sauces and made a bean burrito with a wheat tortilla and used the sauce. It's not as tasty as whatever they're using, but satisfying and a lot less guilt inducing. ^.^
I have dieted and lost weight a hundred times, but never kept it off. I also am well aware that in the long run eating 1,200 calories of fast food and processed meals full of sodium isn't going to get me to my goal of 135 lbs. I am really trying to make it a lifestyle thing. When I eat pizza I just let myself have one slice and I try to make it a slice with some veggies on it.
Anyways, the excercise thing is killing me too. I used to work out an hour a day, except weekends. Now I too can only muster up about 15-20 mins. x.x'
I am just looking at it this way, from all the weight loss success stories I've read and heard people usually started by changing their diet first, lost some weight, and then got into the exercise. I think the initial weight loss is what motivates people to get moving. Nutrition is the biggest part of it I think. I lose weight without exercising at all, just eating right.
Anyways, that's my opinion. I am excited to start running though. It's less about the weight loss and more about me looking for an outlet. Stress is a bad thing you know.
