Jocelyn; I made a post not long ago about the same question you asked me. I know its really tough losing weight when attending college. There are so many bad influences around you, whether it's your friends or the temptations of all the food courts on campus. When I started school I was 158 (three months prior I was 181) and in 4 months into school I just gave up and gained all the way up to 169. :( I saw this as a reality check! I was on a campus with beautiful girls with nice figures and I was the chubby girl eating twice as much as them when in reality I shouldn't even be inside that food court for the sake of my weight loss!! But of course I gave into all my friends nagging me. Just remember that your friends are indifferent to your weight loss because they aren't in this situation!! I learned this the hard way! I expected them to guide me... but instead they guided me to food courts after all of our courses for that day. lol. I would bring myself turkey sandwhich, apple, oranges, some dried fruits and A BIG BOTTLE OF SMART WATER! I made sure to drink that whole water bottle throughout the day which kept me full and hydrated! I thought it was imperative for me to have food to get through the semester when in reality I could have used this academic stress to my advantage. Instead of devouring all those cheese burgers and burrito wraps, I could have been studying or joining clubs to keep my mind off food. :D I hope that helps! :)
