I've been putting off going to the gym for so many reasons: I'm too out of shape, everyone will stare at me, I don't have time, etc. So, before I could talk myself out of it, I finally went online and bought some exercise videos. Now, I don't have any excuse not to exercise. I want to look fantastic for my trip to Buenos Aires in July, and I'm going to work to achieve my goal.
Interestingly, I found out that I'm a "stress eater." At school, I buy fresh fruits, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. Within 3 days of coming home, I'd stooped to eating Cheez Its and gushers. Maybe this has something to do with the depression I feel being around my mom and sister, who are really having a tough time financially. When I'm away at school, I'm basically stress free. I have a job and virtually no expenses, so I don't struggle with finances as they do. Now that I know why I eat, hopefully I can put a stop to it. :) Wish me luck!

I just got some great ideas from some people on the site about trying to control my snacking, and I think that I'm going to try and implement them today. For the past couple of months, I've been trying to get healthier in blocks. First the plan was to stop eating junk food (which I did). The next step was to stop snacking as frequently. I was unable to do that, so I never got to my third step, exercising. I was just being lazy by using excuses to not have to exercise(ESPECIALLY since I'm in Colorado, one of the most active states in the country), so I wrote out a schedule for it. Twice a week take the bike trail near my university, twice a week I do yoga, and twice a week I do an exercise video.
I did the bike trail for the first time the day before yesterday and it was HARD. I was puffing like crazy and the moment I got in front of my dorm building, I collapsed onto the nearest bench trying to fight back the urge to throw up. I played soccer and did martial arts all through high school, and was surprised that I let myself get this out of shape!
Yesterday, I did yoga, which I really enjoyed. Today, I'll probably go for another bike ride because the weather is nice. Wish me luck!

Someone called me fat today, to my face. The guy didn't say "fat" exactly, but it was MORE than insinuated. I was mortified, but I've never been one to keep my mouth shut when insulted. Naturally, I cursed him out bad enough that the guy immediately shut up and wouldn't make eye contact with me for the rest of the class, but the damage was done. It got me thinking about my weight and how unhappy I am with it. It's crazy how one negative comment made me forget all of the hard work that I have done. I haven't touched ANY junk food since Thanksgiving (no chips, no candy, no cake, NOTHING). But, I'm still painfully aware of how far I have to go. I really have to get a handle on my eating. As I spend most of my time studying in my dorm, I also spend a lot of time snacking. Although I buy mostly yogurt, fruit, etc., it still does damage when you're snacking CONSTANTLY. If I could get a handle on my snacking, I would be SET. You would think that it would be easy, since I virtually decided one day that I would never eat junk food again. However, this is so much harder. As long as I can't get my snacking under control, I will never be able to lose the weight and just be HAPPY. I need help.
