I weighed in this AM before work but I didn't have any time to type much of a journal entry because I'm always running late in the AM. I think my favorite thing about the site is the weigh history graph because even though I'm not losing alot of weight at a time, I love seeing it going down, the visual is great. Basically I am just trying to eat healthier, cut out junk food, and get moving more than before, so I find it difficult to answer how well I've been following my plan since I'm not on a specific diet or anything. I just want to control my portions and my snacks and I never pick anything up anymore without reading the nutrition label (and a lot of the time I end up putting it back down, so thats probably the best habit I've developed that I haven't always lived by). I used to be so thin and I just cannot wait to get there again but I'm taking it slow and steady this time because I wasn't always healthy with weight loss in the past.. too much too fast and all the wrong way just ends up making you gain it back and feel worse about yourself than you did before. Been there, done that, learned my lesson. Anyway, at this point I am trying to break it down into 5lbs. at a time because the whole 20lbs. seems so daunting. I actually want to be closer to 120 although I have set my current goal at 130 because I'm going to see how I look and feel and how my clothes fit at that point before I decide to lose anymore since I'm about 5'6, maybe even close to 5'7 and I haven't been 130 in so long that I might look hot there! Hah that'd be nice. Anyway, 5lbs. at a time or else I tend to get overwhelmed. I figure I'll just mark every 5lb. loss with a new CD or item of clothing or even jewellery (my weakness) in order to reward myself to keep going. I wish I could think in 10lb. increments but even that seems so far and I need motivation. Anyway, long journal entry basically about nothing! Blah blah blah! My boyfriend and I are about to head to the grocery store so I better be off for now.
