Chris1979's Journal, 28 December 2009

I'm embarrassed by how long it's been since I last went on Fat Secret. Clearly, I needed it! I've gained 9 lbs in just under 4 months. I'm sure some of that is "holiday" weight gain but I'm very disappointed in myself. As a result of that I've been drinking more when I'm out in social situations with my fiance because I feel bad about how I look. I drink so I won't care. Barely any of my clothes fit. I look like a stuffed sausage and the zippers are all strained on my work pants. Eight years ago, I wore a size 2 and a small top. Now it's more like a 10 and a large. I feel like a failure. :( I know I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and take action. I just got engaged 10 days ago and I don't want to be an overweight bride. My new goal is to weigh 130 lbs by March 31st. Over Christmas my father commented on my weight. I remember when my family used to comment that I was too skinny! Now it was a challenge to lose 10 lbs by my birthday (January 25th). He said if I can do that he will double what he was going to give me financially for my birthday. With this economy, it was quite the incentive!

Basically, I am breaking ultimate weight goal into three mini-goals:
1) 144 by January 25th
2) 136 by February 28th
3) 130 by March 31st
154.0 lb Lost so far: 3.0 lb.    Still to go: 16.0 lb.    Diet followed N/A.

Diet Calendar Entry for 28 December 2009:

Don't be so down on yourself. I'm sure there isn't one person here who hasn't been where you are now. Beating yourself up isn't going to help. You are back now so get back on track. You can do it! Congrats on your engagement. The alcohol will only make you feel worse in the long run and increase your gain so try to limit your intake. Go out and buy a new exercise program, plan your meals and you will see it slowly come off again. Do not expect immediate results and do not get discourage. Take it slow and easy. We are here for you; Glad to see you back!
