Tamara's Weightloss Journey!

Today I ate:

Lean Cuisine toasted garlic chicken pizza and blueberry pomegranate juice.

Turkey/Cheese/Broccoli lean pocket w/ 1/2 cup lettuce and 1tbsp ranch.

Fiber plus dark chocolate almond bar.

100 calorie pack Sour cream and onion pringles.

Crispy chicken wrap w/ lettuce/tomato/pepper jack and colby cheese/ cheese spread.

2 natures promise white chocolate macadamia cookies w/ 1/2 c maple walnut ice cream.

1/2 bottle red tea.

1789 calories.

4 glasses of water... yeah, I know, I need to drink more!


Cheat Alert!!! :doh:
1/2 can of pepsi and 1/2 bottle red tea last night because I was up too late... ugh!

I'm doing better though, it could have been a lot worse!!!

Hey lady. Hope you're doing well. I can see you like the dark chocolate & almond combination... I love it too! & it's good for you in moderation.. what more could you ask for? :)
 
You are doing great! I love your motivation! This is my first day of starting my workout plan.. I'm hoping I can shed those pounds like you have!!!
 
Coming back to my diary and seeing that people have actually posted something brings me slight hope that what I'm doing is making a difference in other peoples journeys as well as my own. Although it saddens me that I wasn't actively trying to lose weight when you guys commented.

Here it is, October 1st (really early in the morning... but still)... and I have nothing but a 5-7lb gain to show for September. The worst part is... I don't even remember why I'm not currently focusing on my weight loss.

Even worse than that... I, for some reason, don't know where to start to get back on track. Goals? Meal planning? When do I exercise? How do I get that motivation I once had back? Questions I'm asking myself... that don't even make sense to ask. I know what I should be doing and what I shouldn't be doing.

I know I shouln't eat 4 4 piece mcnuggets with honey mustard and a medium vanilla milkshake... 3 days in a row, for lunch.

I know I shouldn't be eating brownies and ice cream at work... or waffle fries loaded with cheese sauce and bacon with ranch and sour cream to dip it in and quesadillas and mini mozzarella sticks... an appetizer we also have at work.

I know I shouldn't eat a whole bag of Pepperidge farm chocolate chunk cookies.

So why do I eat those things?

Why did I slide back in to... old eating habits?

Why can I not find the motivation I need?

Maybe I need a fresh start.

A clean slate to work from.

A nice, fresh, clean, new journal... not just a new one on this forum... but one to write in also. I need physical journaling, not just virtual journaling.

So I bought a journal to write my food choices, exercise routines, calorie and water intakes and... my emotions and stresses along this journey in.

I CAN DO THIS! I MUST DO THIS! I'VE ALREADY COME SO FAR!!

That is what I need to tell myself.

I have a lot of weight to lose.. yes.

But...

I've already lost over 60 pounds!

I can't...

No...

I WON'T...

Let food take that away from me.

I need to stop saying "tomorrow", because it never comes...

Today is the day.

Today is MY DAY!

I deserve to be healthy.

I deserve to show myself the healthy girl living inside this obese body just dying, crying, and begging to be seen!

Let my journey, round 2, begin!

No more excuses!
