I know it sounds crazy to give yourself 16 days to lose weight, and your right, it is. but its my only option. in the past year i have gained a little weight. I'm not talking 30 or 40 pounds, just 10 maybe. i know its not a huge deal because I'm still not huge or anything. i am 5'8 and 128 so whenever i say anything about having fat, people just brush it of and say oh whatever you're skinny and go on with their day. however i have a serious problem with food and i don't have anyone to talk about it with. Iv been struggling with eating disorders for the past year, but i have finally broke the vicious cycle and i think i am done with that. Now i am ready to just eat healthy and get my old body back.
So why 16 days? well long story short, my family goes on a trip every year to the town my grandma lives in. there is a guy that i started talking to a little right before we left and this year i hope we can pick things up right where we left off. i know slimming up a little bit will not only make me look better but more importantly it will bring my confidence level waayy up (and let me tell you, right now its extremely low). i also want to continue to be healthy even after my trip. i know i over eat and i hate the feeling of being mad at myself for eating so I'm ready to being a new healthier life. of coarse i would love to look good for this guy but what the big picture is that i really need to change my relationship with food and i think having a goal to look forward to will help me stay on track and focused.
My goal: i want to be about 120 when i leave for my trip and to just look a little slimmer everywhere but mainly in my legs.
My plan: run 6 days of the week, do abs every night, and follow these 4 words, eat only when hungry. if i live by those 4 words, i know i will be able to lose weight and also make good habits.
I know that along the way there will be ups and downs but i hope that by writing about it, i will be holding myself accountable and hopefully others will too.
So tomorrow the countdown begins. Wish me luck!!
