lose 40 pounds

So, yes. I am starting over… again. And this time I weigh way more than I did before. A lot of that has to do with the stresses of college… I weighed 172 at the end of the summer, and now I weight 194.8 (last time I checked, this morning). It’s pretty dismal, to see how easy and quickly one can gain weight.

I’m attempting to do my best, though. And we’ll see what the diet is like in Africa.

I’m not losing the weight I was planning on… I know I can do it, because I did it last summer, but I just haven’t been motivated…

It doesn’t help that I work in the deli, where free samples are plentiful. it’s sooo hard to resist.

Well, I still have 52 days until I have to do 200 pushups. Maybe I should start doing push-ups and sit-ups… it’s just that I’m so lazy. Sigh.

So, I made this a personal challenge because I’ve been skirting around it all year and I’m preparing to go off to college—and we all know that first impressions are the most important ones. I know that when some people say “I’m fat” they’re just looking for attention—however, I really AM fat (according to the BMI system, and according to my mirror; I’m very realistic), and I need to lose some weight.
My current weight is 176.6 lbs as of 3:14 PM, Mountain Time. My goal weight is 135.5 lbs as of 4:00 PM, Central Time, which is the Freshman Convocation at my college.

Wish me luck. I really want to do it.

Hi again, everyone.

Just wanted to invite you all to join me in my goal to not eat any sweets for a month. I feel like this will definitely help all of us in the journey to lose some weight.

Things on the list would include soda, candy, chocolate, and ice cream (tags can be added). I know it’s hard, at least for me, but it will be totally worth it! So come join me if you dare. :D

Because of my ADD, I have a really hard time with commitment. My goal is to lose 40 pounds because I’m really overweight for my height and breadth (182 when I should be around 139).

I’m starting today with a 1000-calorie diet, and already it’s hard—at work, there’s candy lying around just waiting to be taken in the kitchen, at the desk—and there’s fatty lunches to be ordered for the entire office. It’s such a temptation, and I can’t see the longterm very well, so my hands are just twitching to get at those Hershey Kisses.

However, I’m trying to picture myself 10 months from now, lounging by the pool in a string bikini, and it makes everything better. It seems like it’s really far away, but when I get there it won’t be that far away at all.

So, wish me luck in my endeavor—every moment will be a struggle.
