After several dieting failures, I have decided to tackle weight loss in a way that I haven't before. I was trying to lose weight by myself, and I think that was my biggest mistake. I decided to join this lovely community of supportive people in order to not only get motivation, inspire, and help others, but to also be held accountable for my actions. I am really excited to take this approach to weight loss, and I hope that this time I can do it!
I don't want to share my weight, because it doesn't matter. All that matters is that I want to lose 25 lbs, and preferably by my birthday which is November 16th. By my calculations (assuming 2lb lost per week), it should be do-able. However, I will accept anything that is close enough. I don't plan on being too harsh on myself, especially since I've learned that it's not the best way to keep myself motivated.
I want to start this diary in order to be accountable for my weight. I plan to post a progress report every Sunday on how much I've lost (Sunday's have always been my weigh-in days). I would also love to share my successes and tips and help others.
I am an 18 year old food addict. I am not quite sure exactly when I was blessed with this eating disorder (sarcasm), but I know it has to end. I find myself binging a lot, and thinking about food through the entirety of the day. Of course due to this I have gained weight, my self confidence is low and depression has set in.
I hope to gain from weight loss a healthy body and life style. I also am a HUGE fashionista, and I would love to be able to buy clothes and love the way they fit on me. I also want the self confidence and the rewarding feeling of accomplishment. Most importantly, I would love to have my life center around something more pressing then food.
I know that since I an not sharing my weight it will be hard for me to seek specific advice, but I have learned so much through reading other posts that I am ok with that. I mostly just want to track my progress and be held accountable. I hope that's understandable.
I will post some of my regimens and such a little later on. In the mean time I would love to talk to anyone who wishes to
