Hi everyone,
I’m planning on losing 25 to 30lbs. One of the main reasons for my goal is curiosity; I want to know what I will look like at 130lbs. I also want to discover an exercise method that I will use for life, and put an end to my life-long obsession with my weight (I have never been thin).
According to website, it will take me approximately 4 months to reach my goal. That is, if I lose 1.8lbs per week. When I consider the big picture, 4 months is a very, very short period of time. Therefore, I am inspired to lose the weight.
Despite the fact that I realize this, I am not very diligent when it comes to weight loss. I eat when I am not hungry, when I am bored, and whenever I have cravings. It also doesn’t help that I still live with a parent who buys high-fatty and sugary foods and leaves them where I can find them even when I explicitly tell her to stop doing so. Just today I found a brand new pumpkin pie in the fridge. This wouldn’t be such a problem if someone else in the house would eat it instead. But no, my mom can’t eat it because she has digestive problems and my dad won’t eat it because he hates pumpkin pie. I hate it when money and food goes to waste. Restaurants also pose a problem because I treat them as special places (we don’t eat out often, and I like the food more than home cooking) where I can eat whatever I want. My tendency to procrastinate is my fatal flaw. This is because I keep telling myself things like, “I will order this high-fatty food today, but the next time I will order a salad”, and “This is the last milkshake that I will ever have” and never follow through.
Aside from the fact that she buys me foods that I ask her not to, my mother also doesn’t want me to lose too much weight. Whenever I tell her that I want to be 130lbs or 125lbs, she says that that’s, “way too small” and tells me that 145 to 140lbs is small enough. This infuriates me. It’s probably also why she does things in order to prevent me from losing the weight (like buying the foods that she does).
In order to tame my bad eating habits, I am going to write down everything that I eat for the next few weeks. Then, I am going to gradually limit my intake of sweets starting with one per day then progressing to one per week, one per month, etc. until I have stopped eating them altogether. I will also have large glasses of water followed by small meals in order to get the ‘full’ sensation. I’m also going to get rid of my pet peeve of wasting junk food.
Exercise wise, I have started walking 4miles per week. I also plan on signing up for Capoeira classes in December and practicing contortion. Eventually, I would like to get into breakdancing.
I would like to reach my goals within one to two years.
