Well, I think I'm going to stop stepping on the scale. Yes. I don't even own a scale right now, so just nevermind with all that. I think if I counted pounds I might be inclined to start cheating.


For now, I am just going to just doing it. I am going to start recording how I'm feeling from day to day, how I ate, how I exercised, and nevermind the weight. I want to see an improvement on my phyiscal more then anything. At 17, I am so worried about how I look, and I've delt with this since I was just a little kid. No more of it. I am not going to put up with it anymore. My body lies to me when it tells me I'm hungry constantly,even though I've eaten well. I am so sick of this weight, I'm going to get it off. I will not tolerate it. I don't tolerate people doing bad things to me,and I'm not going to tolerate the weight doing it to me either...

I went a little over board tonight, that generally happens when I don't get out for exercise..so..my goal is to make sure exercise happens. If I can't get out do it, I'm going to have to start doing it in the house.

Yes.My life will change.

I am setting this diary up basically as a brag diary? If I have something to brag to about my weight loss, then I am more inclined to keep doing it. No one here listens D= (my town)

So yes. Friday November 24th (tomorrow) Goal- Exercise, Goal 2-portioned,healthier foods.

Oh, I got an mp3 player too. I should be more comfortable with exercising with it =D. Music Does Wonders.

I just rambled a lot..

I'll be back to post tomorrow.

According the calculations:

Maintenance: 2443 Calories/day
Fat Loss Range: 2200 - 2200 Calories/day
That's at little or no exercise..so hopefully the exercise 5-6 days a week will help.

Today was Friday. I'm going to list what I ate. =S


Breakfast:

Between 8:30-9am; Carrot Muffin
Whole Grain Toast (and butter :mad: )
Milk


Around 11:30; Whole Grain Toast (and butter :mad: )
Milk
Five Crackers

3:00 ish: 500 ml of water

4:30 ish : Cantalope squares, Salad, Two Clementines
(baby oranges)

6:30 ish: 2 scrambled eggs, 1 piece of toast,and a large
salad

7:30 ish: D: Double Cheese Burger from Mcdonalds ( My mom
brought it home because she was out all day, and
I guess doesn't suppose I know how to cook when
she's away. I have such little control ...that screwed
my entire day over)

D= So, I calculated that to be roughly 2600 calories. Which is awful. I feel so ashamed. I think I'm going to have to replace the bread instake mostly though. I mean..5 pieces in one day..and they're high in calories. I think two pieces in one day is all I should be having. At least I got some fruit in.

I did do exercise today...

20 situps
9 minutes of very sweaty biking
and 70 minutes of walking (a little dancing,and jogging included) in my basement (according to my calculator, approximately 400 calories)

so.. would that be 2200 calories today?

I may feel too guilty to go to bed tonight and do another hour of walking thogh :(

lol, love the cheeseburger. Mum's are great but they do worry so :rolleyes:

Sounds like you've really set your mind on your goals. Stick to them and you will succeed!

If you don't want to cut the bread out so much, try swapping the bread you have for an alternative low cal bread. I use either WW bread or a loaf called 'Nimble' which are both available in my local supermarket and have 48 & 49 cals per slice - less than half of many other brands. And if you like your butter, try swapping it for a better spread. Take a look in the shops and see what they have :)

You're doing great though. Keep it up! :)
 
Thanks Stan :)


Today, I didn't do much.

I had three Hot dogs..Three buns(around 700 calories I think)
I had Rotoni Spaghetti and broccoli with cheese sauce...both half side dishes?
A little bit of orange juice today..
Some milk..
1 Clementine
500ml of water..
In total I think around 2200 calories

However..I didn't get the chance to take my thyroid pill today :(. And I didn't get to eat breakfast either..so ..that's not good at all.

My legs are in SOOOOOOOO much pain from yesterday. They shouldn't be, but they are. I can hardly walk today,so I didn't do exercise. I did however got out in the air,and go to a Chistmas tree farm with my friends, and stuff. We did some walking around and stuff there,and I spent some time on my feet. I decided to walk in from the front gate,despite my painful legs..so I guess that's better then nothing.

I Need to fit more water into my diet!
 
I've decided to post as I go today.
Maybe I'll get some extra motivation by doing so.

Blah. Nevermind this day. I ended up having thanksgiving dinner D:. I had..a lot of stuffing. Some turkey....all that stuff. And..to top it all off..pumpkin pie. ...Ugh..another screwed up day. I don't however completely regret this day. If I had eaten more calories in the morning like I used to to, the evening result would have been worse. I am also slowly learning some self control, and diet planning...so it's not a complete waste.

Well. I'm a carb addict. All day I've been craving bread. I crave it still.
I drink a lot of milk. At 130 calories a cup...I'm going to get my mom to buy skim milk..it cuts down on the calories a lot more then that.

..D: I hate water. I need to drink water. I had like..a cup of it today. (Well..the day's not over though, I could try more in an attempt to not eat anymore today )

Anyways..Yep.

Oh..I did 4, 20 minute walks today. To and from work. Not a lot, but better then nothing. My legs still hurt.

Try to fill up on some water. That works for me alot of the times. Resist the temptation to eat anymore than you should if you can. Building strength and will power is a very rewarding experience.:)

Chin up! It gets easier. You have to teach your body how to eat correctly.;)
 
Hiya Pinch,

You should look into downloading some podcasts for your mp3 player. I find them much more interesting to listen to while I am walking. I also listen to audio books, and I found that sometimes when I had a really good audio book, I would keep walking just to hear more of the story.

4 x20 minutes of walking today.

...Well, It's not much of progress..be the deficit of 300-400 calories will help eventually. I'm still creating habbits after all. I'm comfortable at 1910 calories..and the best part is..I don't feel like I'm starving by 9pm.


My auntie bought me a new shirt ,and some no sugar chocolate. The shirt is a 4x...and is only a little too big :|. That kind of bummed me out a bit, but it looks nice,so I'll accept it. I'll have to scretch the chocolate out over a lengthy amount of time..

Over all...I see no results..but I know it's progress.

Calorie counting and portion control has proved to be a very,very difficult, and frustrating to me. I'm still feeling hungry today..and I can't eat, and it frustrates me so much that my mom can go and have thirds of meat and stay at 135lbs..and I'm so worried about Christmas...it's so tempting to eat a lot, but I can't, and I feel embarassed when I calorie count in front of people because then they pay attention to my weight..and it's just all so frustrating,and I just want to cry and eat...but I'm so sick of being fat so I know I can't..I'm sick of being made fun of, and being looked down on,and not having the same equal opportunity as people who are skinny. I have a hard time imagining living like this for the rest of my life..but I guess this should really be it. I need to make this commitment one way or another or I'm going to die....I'll show them. Anyone who's ever made fun of me will eat their words....I need to learn to make commitment. If I can do this, I can do anything. I hope.
