I would say, from fall of last year to about May, I was closing in on 190 lbs. Needless to say, it was my every thought, I was depressed and felt ugly. Looking back, I was ugly, and I never want to be there again. I lost over fifteen lbs by how I’ve always thought it would happen, lifestyle changes. At the end of May I left for Japan. For those who don’t know, Japan is a country BIG on walking and all forms of public transportation. And biking. I was there for five weeks where I walked everywhere, everyday. I also ate healthier foods, though I’m surprised because I did eat sweets everyday. Just goes to show what exercise can do. I came back home in the begining of July and started back at work, which I was frightened would be disaster on my progress, but thankfully I started bringing healthier things to work, like sushi and veggie burgers. In August I moved to college, and while I do have a car, I walk everywhere. I don’t keep unhealthy food in my suite and I have to walk a minimum of seven minutes just to go get food in the Caf.
I do want to lose more weight because I’m very happy with how easy it’s been falling off. I figure if I completely knock out sweets and soda (which I have regularly, goes to show about exercise AGAIN and portion control) and start hitting up our fabulous campus gym three times a week, I could be the lowest weight I’ve ever been IN MY LIFE.
