May 25th
My workout’s are getting more and more intense which is eventually going to make me more and more tired. I hope i’ll have enough energy to do my homework. heh.
I have something running through my mind about the last meeting we had. There was a parent that was extremely restrictive of the iPhone that was given to the kid by the study. If he’s not in control of his technology that controls his weight-loss, how are you ever supposed to keep him responsible for losing weight? idk, just a thought I had.
I’m taking section exams in the next few days so the blogs may come out a little later than expected.
Breakfast: Cereal
I’m going to be studying for quite a while today but I’ll be away from home so I wont have any tendencies to over eat. Wish me luck!
Lunch: ??

Dinner: Salad
Today was a very stressful day. and I wanted to snack on things so much. Studying and not understanding something makes me so stressed and weak to food. I’ve been trying really hard not to eat. My strategies include standing up and doing physical exercises for a little bit until I can get my mind off food and back to work I go! (view less)

May 24th
I weighed in at 189.5! I used to be at a 33.15 BMI and I’m now at 30.59. Wow. 18.5-24.9 is considered a “normal” BMI. I’m not far away from the 24.9! Hopefully I can get all the way to maybe a 23 or 22 BMI. Each time I weigh myself and see a lower weight I get a surge of motivation to keep going.
Breakfast: Toast and Trout
Had some toast and had to add a little protein to my cause I’m going to be working out after my 2 classes which are gonna take forever. I’m pretty pumped to lose all of this weight. My mind has been racing about what is going to happen after the study, how its going to work, if I keep the weight or just get it all back. I think just having the conscious fear that I could lose it could help me keep it off.

Today was a stressful day
Breakfast: Toast with Salmon Spread
I was quite grumpy this morning. Probably because I didn’t have dinner last night. I just wasn’t hungry and in a bad mood at night. Not quite sure how to explain it. Everything felt like it was pushing on me so that it could see how far my pressure point is before I blow up. Eek. Scary.
Lunch: ???
I had to go to sports therapy today. This was my 2nd to last one before they can claim me as “Recovered”. I’m not sure that I really ate anything that day.
Dinner: Mod Pizza
I went over to my girlfriends house and I had Mod Pizza, which is like subway for pizza. I couldn’t weigh it so I ate half of it and stored the rest of it away. I was studying the whole day so I was fairly stressed. I didn’t go about everything though!

I think food is starting to become something that is not that important to me anymore. I don’t really care if I don’t get a certain amount. In a sense I’m just letting the scale tell me whats good for me.
When I heard one of the kids saying they were at tiny tiny amounts for a meal I was very worried because It didn’t sound like that was good for them. I’m sure there is more background detail to this that I just don’t know. (view less)

I’m not 100% sure how many people read this but that has nothing to do with my goal. My goal is all for myself, to understand what I’m doing and how I feel about it.
If you are reading this and are having trouble weighing out your foods or have trouble losing weight even though you still weigh out your foods or even just simply have a hard time not snacking. I CHALLENGE YOU. I challenge you to try and dish for 1 week straight with out snacking. A week! Try it out.
Breakfast: Toast with Almond butter and Banana
Very yummy and something I could get used to :)
Lunch: Quesadilla
Nothing special. Just following each day.
Dinner: Chicken
I was studying a ton so I didn’t think too much about food.
Sorry this one is so short. :')

School is really stressing me out. I’m coming up to finals week very soon. Having my last end-of-midterm tests? Weird I know. Finals are going on around June 5th or so.. Scary stuff right there. I didn’t get to workout today which probably is the reason why I feel a tad more stressed than normal. :( Just goes to show how exercise is sooo important.
Breakfast: Quesadilla
I knew I had a long day so I just decided to have something different other than waffles or cereal. From what I could tell it kept me pretty energized until roughly 3. Maybe I’ll do that on days I know I cant have lunch till roughly 3:30-4.
Lunch: Chicken & Salad
I actually brought this to school thinking I would eat it but I didn’t want to eat it during class cause people would give me weird looks i’m sure. Anyway, I didn’t end up... (view more)Day 21

Dinner: Rice
Something light. I used little seaweed raps with it. Had no idea how to weigh that because they all together weigh less than a gram.
I’m going to keep this going. I’m actually really committed. People are saying I look slimmer. I’m pumped to keep this going. After the study I think I’ll have to choose a different meal list that includes more vegetarian items! (view less)

(adventuresofw8l2g.tumblr.com)
Thinking back on the days. I HATE weighing out foods oh my gosh, it is so annoying. But I realize if I don’t I wont eat the right amount of food. I’m training myself.
Breakfast: Cereal
Nothing too much. Just enough to get me through the day.
Lunch: Chicken
I made a bunch of chicken so you’ll probably be seeing more chicken during my lunches. haha.
Dinner: Noodles?
To be honest I don’t quite remember what I ate. I write some of these the day after so I totally forget. Must not have been eventful otherwise I’d probably remember. Either way I’ve been eating less of foods just because I don’t do sauce them up at all which allows me eat less and less.

little note: I don’t blog on weekends. Just don’t have the time.
I looked at my weight this morning and i’m 192.00- Pretty happy about seeing my weight go down even though sometimes i do tricky stuff. I think when I do those tricky things I feel guilty and end up not doing it all too much. A habit I have to break very soon.
Breakfast: Cereal
Really got tired of the waffles lol. I went to math class and the gym. I’m going to start a workout routine. I’m curious if my weight is going to go up when I work out? I guess we’ll find out. My goal is to go to the gym everyday I go to school (Which is everyday!) I hope I have the mind power to be able to do it.

Dinner: Caesar Salad
It was funny because I didn’t have too much time to make anything so I got one of those caesar salad kits and just made that really quickly. It was yummy. I understand why they’re expensive because its the price of convenience. I then studied and went to sleep. (view less)

Breakfast: Waffles

I got sick of cereal and I’m almost about to get sick of waffles. It seems to boost my energy in the morning and I can barely think of a time that is really needed to skip breakfast! It’s the most important meal of the day.
Lunch: gourmet sandwich

I had a meeting with my old Young Life leader and he bought me a sandwich it was really kind of him. I didn’t ask him to buy it but I also told him about the diet I’m doing but it was a special occasion. I ate half the sandwich and let him keep the other half and put it in the fridge.
Dinner: Rice

I made some rice and I was like eh it’s boring so I weighed the cheese slice, and took out the weight from the rice. I’m not sure if that’s alright but it was kind of just a fun thing to try out.
Overall today was an alright day. It was sunny and happy day. I feel like when it’s sunny I just dont feel the need to eat. I make sure to drink a ton of water during those days though.

Today I feel somewhat energized, I woke up way too early so that I could do some work at the library at my university. I cant seem to work at home for the life of me.
Lunch: Pizza
I packed some lunch with me because I wont be able to go home until 3. These days are usually the most stressful because I have two, two hour classes right next to each other.
Dinner: Rice
It was good I wasn’t all too hungry so I just ate a little bit of rice and went off to bed. I just felt way too busy that day and had no time to really think about food!

I’m Back! A little recap. Midterms were insane. I was very close to eating the whole fridge at times but I didn’t! I was extremely stressed out but I locked myself in my room so I wouldn't go on a junk escapade. I think I’ll be just fine. I don’t think I’ve gained any weight currently. I’m going to the gym to do weighted squats which is really nice because I miss doing things at the gym. I’m drinking coconut water for muscle movement. I want to be pretty flexible and be able to run with ease.
Breakfast: Pizza
Uhm. It was yummy. Felt guilty for eating pizza for breakfast though lol. I had to quickly get out of the house to go for my midterm at 8:30 am. After the study I need to figure out a daily breakfast item that is healthy. Like toast, almond butter and banna slices. That sounds really good!
Lunch: I dont think I had lunch? Or maybe I just quite don’t remember.
Dinner: Salad
Pretty sure I just wasn’t all too hungry that day. Thats good-ish.
On to the next day.

Alright so I’m writing this Wednesday after my midterm. Midterms was insane. At this point I had to stop thinking about food all together to be able to stop from snacking. Recently I went on the scale and I’m at 193 or 2? I forget which but it was one of those. I’m happy to say I’m almost 10 pounds closer to my goal that I was from day 1! This has been an extreme struggle for me but I’m going to keep going at it until I reach 150 pounds or even less. So today I'm going to start blogging again after I figure out what day I'm on.

In 2014 I wrote on here about my obese daughter becoming pregnant. At the time she was around 300 pounds and by the time the baby was born (overdue at 41 weeks) my daughter had lost 20 pounds by making a lifestyle change for the sake of her daughter. Obviously, it is hard to be pregnant at any age, but being obese, and 16 at the time…it wasn't easy. She started eating healthy foods and cut out the junk, and she started going on walks early in the pregnancy. She said she wanted to loose weight to be able to take maternity pictures and see the bump because she carried a lot of fat in the belly area. Even though she only lost around 20 pounds, it made a difference and you could see her bump and she got to take the pictures she wanted. They are very beautiful and she looks clearly pregnant...

Even though she only lost around 20 pounds, it made a difference and you could see her bump and she got to take the pictures she wanted. They are very beautiful and she looks clearly pregnant not just a girl with a fat belly. Some people thought it was wrong of me to get pictures done for her considering her age, but I was just happy that anything was motivating her to loose weight (Even if it was a baby and cute pictures for Facebook). She would have continued to loose more weight ( her doctor said all of this was ok) but since she was already out of shape and she was carrying another life, she found it hard to exercise by doing the walking she had started at the beginning of her pregnancy. It made her out of breath and it was hard for her to walk with her big pregnant belly (very different from her obese just fat belly) because it made her waddle, so she had to stop around 4 months. She even had a hard time getting around at school and had to get permission to use the elevator. If we went out shopping, it took us forever to walk around the store, but all these little things helped! She was a little discouraged because she had a hard time seeing the weight loss since her stomach and breasts were expanding, but she was always happy on the scale and that her stomach was hard and not flabby. She didn't mind eating healthy, she just rubbed her belly and remembered why she was doing it. So by the time she had the baby, she had to be induced and to this day she still says that was the hardest thing she has ever done. Having the baby naturally was a great strain on her because of her weight and this has motivated her even more to stay healthy. She is not having a child again for a looonngggg time, but now, she has continued to loose weight and teach her daughter a healthy life style. Her daughter is now a year and a half old and I am happy to say, my daughter is down to 170 pounds!!! She now shops in normal stores, is able to do everyday activities and do things with her daughter. She is by no means skinny, but it is a world of difference. She is still loosing and even her old obgyn is impressed. Now the next time she has a baby in (when she's married lol) she will fully enjoy it cause she will be healthy. This isn't me saying to tell your daughters to get pregnant even though that worked for us. It is just a happy and inspiring update to motivate y'all. (view less)

May 3rd!
I’m going to keep this day short because not too much happened.. Day of my mid-term for microeconomics. Very stressful day.
Breakfast: Waffles!
I don’t have very many breakfast items so i’m kind of limited to what I can take in. I think I didn’t have that much to eat but I think it was because I was really stressed about the test so I couldn’t really think about food.
Lunch: None
Class went until 3:00 but at least the midterm is over.
not very hungry, can wait till dinner.
Dinner: Pasta
Nothing really out of the norm. Was very yummy. Spent the rest of the day studying for math and playing some video games. Tried to chill out after the midterm.
Emotionally I feel alright, I still feel like I’m focusing a lot more on food and I am also missing it MORE because I have to think about when I can eat and how much I can eat.
The thing I’m most worried about is rebounding out of this behavior i’m trying to put myself into which is cutting back on eating.

Day 8
Monday, May 2nd!
So it said I lost 3 lbs or something this week but it still lowered my food intake.. weird? Anyway. I don’t have my car today so I have to take my moms car to school and then to Physical therapy.
Breakfast: Cereal & Banana
I think what I’m going to do is plan when I cannot eat lunch and just have a pre-weighed item for lunch such as a banana or some chicken. Something easy that will get me burning calories through the day. Right now I feel like I have a bit of energy but I don’t feel completely energized. It might be because I’m just still a little bit tired.
Off to math class!
Lunch: Sesame Chicken
This was really good. The weighed amount was way too much for me it felt like. Maybe my stomach is shrinking! I’ve been studying all day long, and will keep studying till thursday! uh oh.

I was getting a little bit angry with my scale cause it wasn’t updating the weight very quickly. Took almost a minute to update the weight on the plate. Not sure why it’s doing that.
Very stressed out, Went out for a run and have been drinking a lot of water to keep me away from eating food. I’m committed to losing weight, I’ve already spent way too much time setting up this study. (view less)

Today is also going to be another one of those stressful and full days where I probably wont be able to eat lunch because I wont be at home to make foods on my list. Maybe if I buy something, I can just eat half of it so I make sure that I’m at least following the “Eating out” procedures. I have work until 7:30 so I wont be able to get home until around 8. :(
Breakfast: Waffles
So far so good, that’s given me enough energy to make it through math class. I unfortunately have to meet with my teacher to go over my test scores (Its okay! I didn’t fail the test.) As I’m writing this section I’m starting to lose energy, which is not a good sign, maybe I need to eat some lunch..(1:05pm)
Emotionally I don’t feel all too great. I weighed myself today and compared it to yesterday and it looked like I some how lost half a pound in a day? maybe an inaccuracy or some fluids... (view more)Day 7

Cant say much to it. Completely skipped it. :(
DInner: Chicken and sour cream Rice
That was very good. I only was able to eat it at around 12am just because I was up so late studying I totally forgot to eat dinner. It’s midterms week so its probably going to be the most stressful part of my quarter. I really hope I don’t snack because this is my most vulnerable time. (view less)
