AHHH...I've been fighting this war with chubbiness for almost all my life now and Im so sick of it...
Where my drastic weight started was when I met my boyfriend. I started eating dinners at his house ALL the time, and it was constant bread, pasta...cheese...the works! I noticed that when i cut down on the dinners there, I lost a pound or two and luckily he adjusted his family's habits and lost weight himself.
I'm 5ft1 and I weigh NOW 136 (in the mornings
)
I joined a gym a couple of years ago and was doing well with toning but there was a death in the family and I just stopped going, then school started and I just couldnt find the time for it so I ended my membership.
Then this past Christmas (when I weighed about 146), I joined a smaller gym in my area and was doing well...until the GYM CLOSED DOWN
I had lost about 10lbs between Jan-June with better eating habits and the new routine I was just given before the gym closed. I did see a nutritionist for a month, it was offered through my work but I quit so I was no longer entitled to her services. Between the 2 visits I had with her, I had lost 4lbs in 2 weeks and was doing well.
I have the resources I need, in terms of what I should be eating and when but my BIGGEST problem is sticking to a meal plan. I'm very bad with routines and sticking with plans, even though I know its for the best. I just can't stick to it and I dont know what to do with myself...UGHHH
So I had been gym-less for a month until TODAY!!! I joined again and this time I just really want to focus and get this done!!! I want to get into the mentality and make fitness my lifestyle..
I found that while I was not exercising, I was eating horribly...it doesn't help at all that my parents own a donut shop where I'm working to help them out. I work alone and coincidentally on the shifts where new donuts are brought in...nice hot new donuts...
My problem was that I keep snacking...muffins, cookies, donuts, croissants....I CANT STOP!!!
My biggest problem is my midsection, its where most of my fat is. I have ok thighs and arms but my stomach is just a sack hanging off my body, I feel like I wear those fake-pregnant suits all day, everyday.
I admit that I did get lazy now and then at the gym and there is no excuse for that but I do hope that this time around, there is no room for excuses or reasons to sit back and wait for magic to appear.
Today is the day~ I really want to lose weight and be around 120...
So here's to a new journey that I hope will become successful and eventually inspirational.
