Ht. 5'6", Start: 170 lb, Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 97), Goal: 140 lb - I just have to tell everyone here what happened today...
-----
So, here I am on here, telling everyone that I would start monday. I did, but with a new gameplan.
-----
I had ceral and two pieces of toast for breakfest, feeling and I am somewhat feeling proud for not having my usual poptart. Then, after a sudden fastforward through (half-of) the day, I got to lunch. I work at lunch, so I did my 20 minnutes and decited to get some chicken, corn, and Mashed potatoes/gravy. Putting trust into my district for nutrition, knowing that nothing there is sold that is ovver 500 calories. I got into the lunch line, and grabbed a apple juice insted of a gatorade, and then it happened: the cookies!!! I could not hold myself back, so I told the lady 5 cookies (I usually eat 5.)

-----
Here is where some background information could come in handy: Because I work, I get (up to) $3.00 for a lunch. (Check; the meal was $3.00) I also get $2.00 (up to) to use on anything else I want. The apple juice was $1.25, leaving me with $0.75 to use. Each is $0.25
-----
Where did I leave off? Oh yea... so the lunch lady told me I only had enough for 3 cookies! (Jessica, I'm signaling somethiing) SOMEONE MUST HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING (God? Is that you?)
-----
It made me realise that I can't just suddenly lay off all the cookies. I don't know where I heard it, but research done has proven that people who totally give up all the sweets are more likely to quit their diets than the people who gradually step down from them.
-----
Long story short: I'm changin' my plan: By the end of the week, I will be having (only) one cookie, and by the end of the next, I will be having more of the naturally good stuff (baked chips, kettle corn, etc.)
-----
If anyone could tell me if this seems like a good plan, or that you heard the research numbers too, let me know please! (view less)

If I do mess, I always tell myself tomrrow is a new day, start over, have a favorite candy, like milk choolcate switch to dark chocolate cause you will save a lot of calories, eat one half instead of the whole thing, that is another tip I learned, sometimes I will share with friends or family, but still watching what you eat and calories is really imporant!!!! so please make healthier choices instead of big meals have small meals, shoving food in your mouth is not a good idea then your sotmach won't know what it is disjusting, slow down and have small bites, eating five bites is good, and healhty, Im going to try this again, so I can reach my goals!! drinking water is...

Ht. 5'6", Start: 170 lb, Today: 171 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - You know how there is guit about what you ate? For the first time, I think I am going through that! Here's why:
-----
Four to five hours ago, I claimed that I was going to start trying to lose weight. Then we went to Joe's.
_
Think of a potatoe (forgive the spelling) that you might get in a 5lb bag at the store. Now think of *TWO* of those. Figuring that there are about 15 potatoes in a bag of 5lb, that is about 3 lbs each, and I had you think of two smashed together. I'll let you do the math from there...
-----
There is no WAY that I can start a weight loss thing like this on Sunday, and I have P.E. every day (week days). I think that I might try to go do about 2 miles running on Monday, or Sunday. What ever day I can get my hands on first, I'll do it.
------
Side note: This is NOT the first time I have tried to lose weight... I gave up last time. Gained 10 lbs from that, so I AM NOT going to give up this time. (Also, that was the same exact thing I said last time, so let's see how those words play out. )

Ht. 5'6", Start: 170 lb, Today: 171 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - I am pondering right now if I should run another half marathon. For the first time in years, I am sick of being overweight again. I see the girls and the boys that are, (not perfectly, no one actually is no matter what you say) skinny, always smiling. The downers are the ones who are always having trouble walking, and the ones who have the slimmer friends, so that they feel like they are too. Those are the people that have an eating problem, those are the people who continue to gain!
For not watching my weight, I gained 50lbs since the last time I had ran a half, and I want to be part of the slimmer group now. Hopefully the things I know are going to help me durring this weight loss that I want to do.
