why HELLO!
My name is Kitty...almost 23yrs old. It's creeping up steadily by August. A quick history about my "weight loss battles".
I've always been kind of known as the 'fat', 'thick', 'big-boned', 'chub-wubb' etc... child of the family. I don't know how it really started but as a child my weight has always been a big issue. I've had several cases where my doctor would insist that my mom helped me loose weight due to the high chances I had for getting type 2 diabetes. Even with medical advice, at 12yrs old info like that never meant much to me. By the time I was halfway through my high school years I peaked at a recorded weight of 250lbs. I started to unconsciously make healthier decisions. I stopped drinking soda, gradually lowered my fast food intake - till I could completely stop, and tried to do small aerobic activities around the house. By the time I was a Sophomore in College I was at my lowest weight in a long time - 150lbs. By then I had completely stop drinking soda, rarely had fruit juices, focused eating more home made foods, and exercised daily. I ended up exercising so much that I became addicted to it, about 4-5 hours a day.
I started going out more and dating more, that I became more conscious of my weight and image. I had officially shrunk down to my lowest weight as a young adult. I had recorded a whopping 120lbs at 21yrs old. I was loving it- the clothes, the attention, the boyfriends. But unfortunately I had no idea what I was really doing to myself. I never realized it until now, but I actually remember eating only 600-900 calories a day. I honestly can't remember if I was doing it intentionally, or even if I felt hungry most of the time back then.
But after a few months and drastic life changes, my family had decided to move out of state...including me. My boyfriend at the time was frustrating, my family was starting to annoy me, and my life started feeling like some drama series. I had to withdraw from my classes from my NEW transfered College,SFSU, and practically had to just pack my bags and go within a weeks time. It was depressing and stressful. So, easily, I turned to food, especially sweets for comfort. The hardest part was that I hated to eat during the day. Which meant I practically went through the whole day with an empty stomach until it was evening/night time so I could enjoy eating. I think I enjoyed the feeling of being filled to my limit right before I slept. By the time I had moved to TX and settled for about 3 months, my weight skyrocketed to 168lbs. So from 120 to 170ish within 3-4 months. SOOO NOT HEALTHY!!!
I was depressed, stressed, AND fat again... So, all the clothes I packd and brought with me no longer fit, and now I was embarrassed to go out anywhere. So by May 2009 i had hit 170lbs and knew I needed to do something. So what did I do? I unfortunately starved myself...Although i went down to 145lbs within less than 3 weeks, I had gotten into another fight with my exboyfriend and easily gained all the weight lost.
So NOW its May 2010, a full year later, and where am I at? Well at least Im not 170lbs, but Im certainly still not able to fit into my old jeans. I currently weight 155lbs, and constantly fluctuate between 150 - 160.
My 23rd birthday is coming soon, and as much as I would hate to use it as an excuse, I would like to at least feel better about myself by that time. Im not trying to force myself into my old jeans by August 1st, but it sure wouldnt hurt to fit into them ASAP...
So what are my goals?
Height: 5'3"
Current weight:155lbs
Current pant size: 12
- Through a nice steady exercise regimen and building healthy food choices that can stand more permanent, I hope to loose at least 2lbs a week.
So projected dates/goals would be...
By July 1st
weight: -12lbs = about 142lbs
and by August 1st
weight: -20lbs = about 134lbs
pant size: according to my memory from the last time i was that weight = comfy 10 and depending on some brands a shapely size 8.
One of my biggest problems currently is finding motivation to workout, unfortunately Ive done the workout buddy thing, but honestly did not enjoy it. My partner continuously complained with my always wanting to do some sort of cardio, while I complained how she decided to talk more than lift a finger the entire timed we worked out.
I have a gym membership and my work schedule isnt too overwhelming, but at times I do feel pretty exhausted. I usually work 8-5, but if work isnt finished, its 8-6 or 7..When ever I do go to the gym I run for about 20-30mins and do moderate to intense weight circuit training for 45 mins. One of my other biggest problems is putting a variety into my exercise program.
So if any of you have suggestions, please let me know! I happily accept them
Whether they be exercise or healthy food tips please let me know! I hope you guys could give me your support, and most importantly I Wish that your journey may be successful and rewarding as well.
We are all in this together, and we all know what we need to. So, there's no question or doubt about it that we already know how hott we look. We're just trying to give ourselves that upgrade we know we always wanted!
