I made the decision to lose the weight I always wanted to lose. I'm currently at 138 5'6. It doesn't sound like a lot but I'm one of those girls who holds a lot of the fat on my stomach so no matter what, I look somewhat fat and I'm tired of it. I've been fat all my life. I was up to 186 at one point and worked hard to be 138, today is the new beginning, my goal weight is to be 125 but not just a flabby 125 but a tones and beautiful 125 where I can actually wear a two piece. I want to look good so I can find the man of my dreams and change the world for the better without worry about being fat. I want to the insecure feelings to end once and for all.

I got a hair cut today and feel a lot better although my eating wasn't that good. i was good all day but one of my co workers were giving me grief. i ate a whole chocolate bar today and feel terrible but on top of it, i came up and ate more then i should have. but all is not lost, i've been eating healthier today. i'm still a bit depressed because of my loss love but i still must move forth. thank god for this forum. i decided to come downstairs and write here instead. i want to go to the gym but the weather has been terrible. best friend is coming to visit but will not stay long. i'm so tired but feel hopeful about my fat loss plan. i'm going to make every effort to go to the gym today. and take off the pounds. today i saw three skinny girls in my training session. self esteem dropped dramtically. sometimes i blame god but no, it's my eating. i shouldn't have eaten the whole chocolate bar..and french pastry when i got home. i also ate some candy too. sigh. and muffin. all those things i could have donw without or at least a lot less. the good thing though is that i've added salad to my diet which is a nice plus. maybe ishould just keep munching on salad until my body say no more instead of eating junk carbs but damn those carbs feel good. damn good.
 
took a trip to vegas and had buffet =( feeling super fat and not going to even get on the scale and take a look. at least i made it to the gym. the stairmaster really made me sweat. i think i'm going to start working out there more often.
