Well, today has not been easy so far, and it's only 10:00 A.M. !! I have been having some hardcore junk food cravings. I have to stop thinking about that stuff! I find that if I eat regularly and not let myself get too hungry, I am able to make better choices about what I am going to eat. I know that if I let myself eat even a little bit of junk food, I will feel extremely guilty and like a big failure. Then my mood will quickly spiral downward and I will give up and eat every piece of junk food in sight. I have decided that junk food is simply not an option for me right now, no matter how small the serving is. It just doesn't seem right to spend all those hours working out only to undo all that work in maybe 10 minutes.

This journal entry is kind of random, I guess. I just felt like I had to talk about my work the past few days. I have been really watching what I've been eating, and foucising on eating less. Also, I have been walking at least 30 minutes per day. I really like walking at the lake. This morning I was all excited about going to the lake to walk, but it was raining. I went anyway and got rained on, but at the same time I felt really proud. Even the nasty weather can't keep me away from my goal. (For the record, I actually enjoy the rainy weather. I find it soothing and calming.) I have found that I really enjoy exercising, that hot sweaty feeling I get is gross but at the same time it's a signal to me that my body is functioning just like it should! Working out is something that I enjoy (like eating junk food), but when I eat junk food I feel like crap afterwards, and when I work out I feel amazing afterwards! Walking is really therapeutic to my soul as well. It's just me, my music, and the lake. I think about life, my goals, my past and future- I can think about anything and nobody else is with me to to bug me or slow me down. I go at my own pace and I go down whatever trail I want to. I really do believe that anyone can learn to love exercise- people just need to find an activity that's not too difficult for them and that keeps their interest. My muscles feel sore, but good at the same time. I love that sore muscle feeling. Maybe I'm just weird, lol.
As for the watching portions part, that has been a little harder. I really really love eating. Especially extravagant fattening foods like cheesecake. (Gotta stop thinking about it!! lol) But I have been able to ignore the cravings, for the past couple days anyway. I am both ashamed and proud to say this, the past few days I have been doing better with my diet and exercise than I ever have before in my whole life! I guess it's okay for me to say that because I'm still young, and I am choosing to own up to my weaknesses and solve this problem before I develop any serious health problems.
Whew, that was a long journal entry! Anyway, I really hope I can - no, change that to I really hope I will - continue what I have been doing. I'm sure to get some good results sometime soon :)

Well this is the first weigh in where I actually lost weight. I am finally motivated to try. The past few weeks, I didn't lose anything, so I just didn't feel like recording my weight here on fatsecret. It ould just be too discouraging. Anyway thank goodness things are finally starting to go my way a little bit :)

Well, today is my first day starting fatsecret. Actually it's the second day of my diet, but the computer wouldn't let me select yesterday as my starting date. Anyway, I want to eventually get to 160. I know that it's very far away, but I plan to do this one day at a time and not give up. I hope that fatsecret wil help me achieve my goal weight.
