I've never really been thin. I'm really short but I have a pretty athletic build so I'm never going to be a stick. But weight tends to pack on pretty easily so 20 or 30 pounds on me looks not so great.

If I write down all of the calories that I eat throughout the day I tend to do okay but when I get off of that course I tend to eat a lot more and a lot worse than I should. I think that it helps having to face what I've done at the end of the day. I only have myself to blame if things don't go so great so going back to writing everything down will be good for me.

It's just hard feeling like "Oh...I'm not the pretty one." For once I want to be the SMALL one where people are referring to my weight and not my height. It's just frustrating I guess. I know that losing this weight won't make me totally confident and perfect...but I think it will make me feel better.

Sorry for rambling on! Looking forward to meet the lot of you...well...yay for weight loss!

Thanks, pinky! Well I'm really looking forward to starting my tracking of my calories so I will start right now. I just weighed in for the first time in quite awhile and I rolled in at 130.7 lbs. Not so bad. I had guessed around 134 so that was a pleasant surprise for me to wake up to.

Daily Intake

Breakfast: 1 Glass OJ = 110 Calories
South Beach Diet Chocolate Protein Bar= 140 Calories

Lunch: Healthy Choice Country Vegetable Soup = 160 Calories
16 oz. of water
One Fate Free Graham Cracker = 60 Calories

Total: 470 Calories

I'll keep coming back to this post throughout the day and updating as the calories pile on. I think my plan is to limit myself to 1,200 Calories and not eat after 6 pm...but we will see. Ideally, I'd like all this weight off by January 1st....but I'm not sure that is realistic? Oh well, it's something to strive for. My New Year's Resolution last year was to lose 15 pounds and I was at 145 pounds at the time...so I've pretty much completed that. I have to say I am proud of that because I never thought that I'd really do it. So, I already know that losing weight is possible so I just have to get it in my head that I can do it all over again. I do have to say though that since I've stopped losing weight, working out, and eating right...I've become very lazy and I haven't been able to get as much done. I can't tell you how awesome it was when one of my friend came up to me and said, "Have you been losing weight?! You look awesome!" And both my parents noticed the difference too. It's a great feeling. So I know that I'm needlessly rambling here...but I'm just really excited to get back on the track. I will stop now...! Have lots to do today. I'm sure that I will be around here throughout the day. Take care everyone!

So...

Yesterday didn't turn out so well. I ended up baking for someone and I got lost in the aromas and before I know it...I've eaten way way way too much. I couldn't even count all of the calories. But I am not going to cry over it...today is a new day and for that I am glad. So back on track for me.

Daily Intake:

Breakfast: Glass of OJ = 110 Calories

Will add more as I go. NO cheating for me today,
 
Wow, so this has definitely been a rocky start. I have to start over tomorrow fresh and new and stick to it this time. Yikes. I won't let it shake me. I will just cause it to motivate me. :( Woops.
