I've lost a large amount of weight twice in my life, and gained it back. Once when I was 15 (I went from 200 to 160 due to an illness), and the second time was last year (I worked hard, starting here with my old journal, I went from 249 to 199 in about a year).
I'm back up to 250 and I feel so incredibly awful about it. I watched as my weight went up, and up. I struggled, and gave myself way too many excuses (you had a bad day, eat as much McDonald's as you like!).
So, I thought maybe I'd try again...maybe I'll use a new thread, start fresh, all that.
No pictures right now, maybe later. I'm at work, and bored, and trying to stay motivated.
I have a trip coming in July to LA, which is exciting, because I live in the middle of Canada and it's not anywhere near as nice as LA. I've never been there, or to the states even
. I wanna get SOMEWHAT close to where I was, when we go. That means I have about 7 weeks. My plan is to hike the trails there, too, get in some good exercise.
I'm doing what I did before, eating smaller meals, counting the calories. I still don't drink sugar soda (diet only, or water). I've banned myself from restaurants and the like. I was starting to binge, badly, and usually as soon as I finished work.
I've set myself to a 1200 soft total, but if I have a bad day I can go to 1600, so I'm not completely suffering. The plan is to walk a LOT this month, get myself a bit of a tan since I'm as white as a ghost and will burn BAD if I go to the states as I am now.
With that said, it's time to start keeping track!
Start Date: June 6th, 2013
Start Weight: 250.5
June 6th Food:
2 ham stick - 90
20 almonds - 140
2 fruit snack - 160
6 spring roll - 270
20 tatter tots - 360
1 cookie packet - 100
=1120 + dipping sauce and what have you, likely up to 1200
June 7th Food:
2 ham stick - 90
30 pretzels - 190
20 almonds - 140
2 fruit snack - 160
8 spring rolls - 360
30 tatter tots - 540
1 cookie packet - 100
= 1580
I'll edit in what else I eat later since I'm only at 980 right now.
So, yeah, here's hoping the third time is a charm. I'm so tired of this weight dragging me down. It's time to seriously do something about it.
