I had some really bad sugar cravings last night while I was watching TV, but instead of reaching for the box of See's chocolates that were calling my name from inside the pantry, I took out a bag of frozen sliced mangos and ate those inside. I was proud of myself.
The four pounds that I have lost so far are just a result of losing a lot of bloating and water weight. But I'm just happy and I feel lighter, even though I started this diet very recently. Continuing down this path will lead to good results, I'm sure. :)

losing 28.0 lb a week
18 January 2008
I'm commuting from home to college, and I thought that this would be, overall, better because I could work out at home on treadmill. However, I leave home in the mornings and return late at night, so I've had no opportunities to work out. I could work out in the morning, but it's almost impossible because I leave the house at 7:30 am because of LA traffic.
Now that I'm back at home for the 3 day weekend, I should get some working out done.
I always fall into a bad cycle of not working out because I feel very lethargic and lazy. Plus, the weather has been a bit chilly, so I feel very discouraged about taking off my warm pajama pants and sweater. Darn this winter weather! I never fail to gain winter fat. But the good thing is that I know that I have the potential to get to where I want to be - I just need to get up off my butt and work on it.
Today I did nothing but watch a movie, nap, and play with my dog. I had lunch and I'm not really hungry for dinner since I haven't really been getting any physical activity today.
My goal for tonight: WORK OUT!

When I was in high school, I suddenly gained over 35 pounds in the course of a couple of months. Before I knew it, I had weighed 180 pounds and I was 5'5" tall. My clothes didn't fit and I resorted to wearing huge T-shirts and big flowy skirts - basically, anything that didn't cling to my body whatsoever.
My family disapproved of my body image, and I was extremely embarassed to show up at public places where people would recognize me, such as church and volunteer events. People often commented and compared me to my younger sister, who is naturally thin and is very fashionable.
I had always struggled with my weight to a certain extent, but it had never reached a point where I was this heavy and this dissatisfied with my life. I cried multiple times a week, mostly from frustration, humiliation, and depression.
I decided to take control of my life and I really began to exercise the summer between my junior and senior years of high school. During that 3 month period, I joined LA Fitness and worked out in the mornings and occasionally at nights as well. I also lifted weights and did some stretching, and took advantage of the free yoga classes. My mother is a health freak, so she made sure that I ate healthy. Snacks and sweets were a definite no-no, and I immediately cut sugary drinks from my meals. I increased my consumption of water as well.
I worked to lose weight and be healthier before I started college, because I wanted to start college as a brand new person. From the start of my diet in the summer to the beginning of college, I lost about 50 pounds and weighed in at 130 lbs. I was so proud of myself. Clothes fit better, I got many more compliments from people, I had higher self esteem and confidence, and I was genuinely happy and satisfied with my life - things that were seemingly unattainable before.
My weight's been relatively stable, but during my freshman year of college, I gained the Freshman 15 plus 5 more. During the summer after my freshman year, I put myself on a strict diet again and lost 25 pounds and started off sophomore year in the best shape I had ever been in. However, during this time, I also got a new boyfriend and we began to eat out a lot, and I started to pack on the pounds again as sophomore year progressed.
Right now, I just started my second semester of sophomore year, and although I started sophomore year weighing in at 128 lbs, I now weigh 145 lbs. I got sick a lot as well and felt depressed for a certain period of time during the first semester as well. Most of the weight gain has to do with failing to exercise regularly like I did over the summer, eating late at my college apartment, and snacking on candy, chocolate, and chips while studying.
My goal is to lose the weight I gained over sophomore year, plus a little more, so that I can be not only in shape, but also in good health. I hope I can achieve my goal and be able to maintain the body that I sculpt over the next months/years! I've had trouble maintaining my weight, and so, hopefully, with the help of everyone here, I hope to achieve my goal and succeed!
