Seeking: healthy body and life
5 months ago
I have been overweight my whole life and I’m desperately wanting to change.
Over the last year and a half I went from 297 to 267. There have been set backs and emotional duress but in the end, I’ve lost 30 pounds and I’m ecstatic about that! =)
Current Weight: 267
Short-Term Goal Weight: 250
Long-Term Goal Weight: 175
I’m 5’9 so I don’t know that I need to get as low as 175. I need to just get under 200 and then see how I feel. 250 is my temporary goal as I haven’t been under 250 in over five years.
I use Weight Watchers online program and am not the greatest with counting points. I also get to the gym … sometimes. I do love working out – when I’m there, I usually can’t force myself to leave the gym! =) – but it’s the Getting There that is an issue. Motivation is a big issue for me.
A big thing for me is to do this slowly and healthfully and the RIGHT way. I’m opposed to surgery (for me – I’m only 26 and I am not incapacitated in any physical fashion) so I’d really just like to eat better, exercise more, and cut back on my water. Yeah … I drink almost two gallons some days so I’m trying to cut back to a gallon per day as I worry about water toxicity. Also, someone told me that I could be flushing the nutrients and vitamins out of my body. I can’t help it though – I love water! I gave up caffeine and nicotine five years ago and replaced both with water. It’s become just as much of an addiction! lol =)
Quantitative Psychology

I want to earn my PhD in Psychometrics. I am currently earning my Bacherlor’s in Psychology and I looked into what would get me the furthest from Clinical Pscyh. Psychometrics appeared before me like a ray of light!
It’s all about measurement and statistics and I’m really excited and nervous. It’s also a very needed field in psychology but not too many people go into it making one with a degree in Psychometrics very sought-after person. I crave financial stability so that is a BIG plus for me.
