hahaha i just used this title because i wanted to say something random. anyway, i am so excited, i have lost 14.6 lbs, 26% of how much i wanna lose. and only in 49 days!! who would of thought. i want people to read this closely, because for me, it has become a really positive way to look at things.

I think back to where i was in july. that was the last time i attempted and failed to lose weight. I was doing things the right way, but i was not in the right mindset. I was using the website www.startyourdiet.com, and i was tracking my weight-loss, but what the site predicted was, if i stuck to a -1.5 lb per week weight loss, i would be done by february. this discouraged me GREATLY, because that time frame seemed like it would never end. but GUYS…  IT DOES END. the time DOES come faster than you can believe. look, february is RIGHT around the corner, actually, its in a few days. and if i would of stuck to it the first time, i would be DONE and in my bikini ;).

so if you get discouraged by the time, think about where you were a few months ago, where you were a year ago. if you would have stuck to it then, you would be done. time goes by so fast, but it tricks us into thinking it goes by slow in the moment. so just stick to it.

the time will come so quickly. im sure you some of you realize that now, looking backto the day that you started your diet. i mean, ive been doing this for 49 days. thats ALL!!!

WEIGHT LOSS is forever. what i mean by that is, you will forever be unhappy with ur body being overweight. so, its either losing it now, or waiting a year, 5 years, 10 years. we are only young once. we are only 40 once, only 20 once. so do it now, so you can be happy with yourself in the body you want.

just do it guys

where does this motivation come from? i have been overweight my entire life, and ive always been unsettled by it. and suddenly on december 11th 2007 something came over me, and i said “i am going to do this” i steered my goals not towards loseing weight, but losing 57 lbs. not about eating healthy, about eating right. its just crazy. something snapped in me. what is this!?!?

no complaints though. i love it. and to lose weight and keep it off this is essential!!

im feeling blah. im feeling like i will be fat my entire life. i know tihs defeats the whole idea that im loseing weight, i am still as dedicated, and i am STILL going through the motions. but i have not been able to accept the fact that i will be thin. i cant see it. i just cant believe it. and its depressing.

wow…who knew x’s could be a form of motivation, but wow… this guy i used to date and who played me, he had a girlfriend the whole time, came into my job yesterday, and i must say…it felt amazing. becasuse he comes in once a month or so, and even though we dont speak he still checks me out, and its so nice to feel good about my body…cuz i know im lookin good. i was also in my skinny jeans at the time, and i was actually prepared!! i looked good. it might sound petty, but i dont think it is. im over him… its just fun  its nice to know that he messed up what we could of had,and he is the one who is going to have to deal with seein me when he comes in lookin hotter and hotter. hahahah happiness is the greatest revenge.

i have now had my period for 13 days out of 25.  what is this about??!?!?!?!?!?!? i guess since im losing weight, my body is like “what is going on!!!??” since im loseing. but still. come on. it get annoying, and quite frankly, tampons get expensive when ur on it this long.

hahaha

this might be kind of a 180 turn on my blog yesterday about motivation.. but i still believe that its true,that momentum really gets you going. but soemtimes i feel like i will NEVER get the weight off!!! I have always been overweight. i have never been 5′4 148 (my goal weight)… so i dont know what it feels like. i am currently at 192. yes, i do feel lighter, i have lost 13 lbs… my collar bones are sticking out more, and you can see it in my face. BUT… at the same time… i feel just like a thinner version of the fat me. im still fat, just 13lbs less fat. lol.

does anyone know what im talking about?!?!? i just CANNOT wait until i lose 20 lbs, 25 lbs… i havent been under 185 sine i was probably 14… once i get to that 20 lb mark maybe i will start to feel like im getting closer to my goal. dont get me wrong, im very happy about my 13 lb loss… BUT i just dont feel thinner yet. i feel a “skinnyfat” lol

make sense!?!?!?

i just wanted to share a little bit of motivation with everyone…. if you just go through with the actions of going to the gym, watching what you eat, take each day at a time, MOMENTUM really does happen!!! i have only lost 12 lbs, but i have been doing this for 43 days… and i am more motivated than ever. theres no quitting now. even if you dont think u can lose it all.. just take one day at a time. eat what ur supposed to. work out. wake up the next day. do it all over again. it becomes so unimportant to eat differently from what ur supposed to, that you just get into a ruitine, and before you know it… its off!!! thats how it feels for me now. i dont really think about “wow im gonna be doing this for months”, i think about today. and that is it. all of the “todays” add up. and in no time at all, your goal will be here!!!

xoxo

I am frustrated because I AM STUCK AT 193. Im not sure what is going on. I thought there was no way it was menstrual, but i think i started my period yesterday. but i only had it 2 weeks ago?!!! is this NORMAL when losing weight?
anyway… i have been stuck at 193 for like 10 days. and i have eaten between 1300-1500 calories each day. one of the days i ate 1750 and then the next day i had 1250. i was trying the zig zag method to switch up my metabolism a bit. but im not sure how it worked exactly. i am not going to weigh myself until friday, so we will see what happens. Im just very frustrated because ive lost 13 lbs so far (well really 12 now cuz i went up a pound) and i havent cheated or anything. ive been sticking to what i CAN eat.. and when i run out of calories, I STOP. that is the simple part for me. Im just seriously wondering if i EVER could be skinny, cuz i never have. i have 45 more lbs to go. uggggghhhh. someone, anyone, give me a little inspiration or motivation!!!!!
thanks!
