Today will be day 5 of my weight loss, I've been happier oddly.
I've bought a pant size 8 seeing as I can fit into it I just can't zip it. I bought the size 8 for a reason, that will motivate me to lose more weight. This has worked for me and I find it a challenge in a good way to lose weight.
In January I've ate plenty of unhealty food, I was eating healthy, then all the sudden I went from eating healthy to going "loco" for all sorts of foods.
Eating cereal was fine but 3 or 4 times in a day wasn't what I wanted.
It was as if my mind just said no, I don't want anymore of this stuff. I really need to learn how to take control over what I eat.
Currently things are going good, I start eating at around 12:00 something light. then I eat at 3:00 and at around 5:00 and at 7:00 I eat a yogurt or apple. I cut off bread, I eat healthy flat bread that is around 150 calories with some vegetables. I cut off chocolate completely and greasy food like Pita (Yum!) I don't eat meat (havn't been for 5 years now) I will occasionally eat some chicken but that is all. I don't eat seafood except for this one tuna I don't mind eating. I havn't eating tuna nor chicken in a while.
I hope I can get down to 130 pounds maybe even go down a little lower.
I' am 5'6 and currently weigh 157 I havn't checked my weight for 5 days now, I won't check until a week of this. I never did like weight scales.
For the past 3 days I have done a little amount of excersice with the gymnastic ball. If I can I'd like to lose this weight in about 5-7 months seeing that I would like to travel to Europe very soon. That is what I' am getting ready for, 3 years ago I went to Europe and I looked really unhealty, now I would like to go back and show them the better and healthier part of me.
In four months from now I'd really like and hope that I be at 140 Pounds or 130 would be awsome!
When I think about it, why do I, myself want to lose weight. The first thing I think of is to look great, but we all probably think that. The real reason is to feel great inside and out. I feel good inside but it doesn't show on the outside as much as it should. I want to be able to go hiking, biking, I want to be able to go on ahead without losing breath within every step I take. Most of all I'd like to be able to live (be healthy) and help others with the same issue I face.
I remember a friend of mine telling me (he was the healthy one) he enjoyed being around the healthy women, I gotten mad at this seeing I wasn't "as small as them" he told me it wasn't about the image rather how someone takes care of themself and it shows. That hit me, when you eat healthy and take care of your body it shows and it attracts others, and you feel confident but when you eat and just forget about your body, you don't get noticed as much because the people looking at you notice how you treat your body and see that you don't take good care of yourself.
Even so, I need this Journey to last a lifetime, I would hate to see my future on the couch. I'd rather live now in the moment knowing my future wont be on a couch.
