I am definitely a bit nervous about tomorrow. Not seing a weight loss will be hard, but maybe it will give me more motivation to work out harder at the gym. I wish I could have a crazy trainer to whip me into shape, and a house filled with healthy food and people who know how to cook it lol. Just like on the biggest loser. But then I think about it, and that is the part of me that just wants to lose the weight as quickly as possible. At least the way I'm doing it is a way that is teaching me real lifestyle changes that I can handle. The hope is that I will never go back to eating the way that I was when I gained all of that weight. I realize that it is not going to be easy to keep it off. I will need to continue to work out at the gym to maintain my results. Maybe just not as often or as long as I do now.
If I keep this up and really stick with it, I can lose 30 pounds and be at 147 by the end of July. I have already gone for two whole months with only a few serious slips. I know I can do this. I know that at some point I will probably plateau, but when that happens I will have a plan of attack. I will force myself to do things at the gym that I don't do now. I will try using free weights, I will do more aggressive HIIT training, I will do more outdoor sports, in the summer I will swim laps in the pool, I will go on hikes in the park with weights on. There are plenty of ways for me to mix up my routine. I can also try other foods or alternative temporary diets, such as low carb for a boost. I am determined to finally be the way I have always wanted to look. I want to fit into that little black dress I wore to my 8th grade graduation (I know that's a bit of a stretch, but I can try lol.) I didn't realize how good I looked back then. Man, if only I could have believed in myself and not told myself so many lies. Perhaps if I had some self esteem I would have never gained this weight. Who knows? Maybe I would have joined sports. I know I can't change the past, but I can change what I'm doing now. I can take back my body and with it my mental health. I want to feel proud of the way I look, knowing that I worked hard for it. Once all of this fat melts away (perhaps another 10% of my body fat) I will feel so good about myself. Even more than I do right now. I am almost 27, nearing the end of my 20's. I have a feeling that my 30's are going to be my best years yet.
