lose 16 pounds.

but it’s most likely because I haven’t been eating.

...

When I can, I’m going to go to the YMCA every day.

FOR EXAMPLE.

Tomorrow. o.O

I apparently suck at this game.

I looked at myself in the mirror today, and I noticed a change in my figure.

I look feminine. And pretty. And self-confident – and happy.

Family get-togethers are a bitch.

... Now that the Village People are out of my system for a moment, let’s move on.

I’ve decided that every day that I don’t work, I’ll hit the Y and run on the treadmill for an hour or so. It’s especially convenient since Carianne is at the Y after school for swim practice anyway and I have to wait around – I can just do my homework and hit the gym.

I’m pretty determined to do my best with this – and my mom and I are working out a really good-for-me diet, because I really want to succeed. I want to feel better about myself.

It’s such a cliched goal, isn’t it? I spend so much time around these people with perfect bodies – it gets old to not have one of them. Besides, obesity runs in my family – I don’t want to end up like that. I want to be fit and healthy and beautiful.
