So Far So Good

I'm feeling great about life right now. I think I am finally on the right track to get down to the weight that I want to be at. I wish I could weigh myself and keep track of how much I am losing, but since I am at school I don't have a scale in my room. It is probably a better thing that I don't weigh myself; that could discourage me if I am not losing the weight as quickly as I am hoping to. I made myself a promise to not eat anything except fruits and vegetables from the school. The food my school feeds us has to be full of fat, calories, and god knows what else. I am proud to say that I eaten nothing with sugar in, except fruits of course, since I have started this process only 3 days ago. I know 3 days does not sound like a lot, but if you are anything like me, 3 days without anything sugary, like chocolate or other sweets, is an accomplishment. I think my body loves me right now! I need support so I am hoping that people will follow my blog soon. Even though at this point I am writing to no one, I feel like keeping this blog will help me keep on track. Speaking of support, some of my friends are not the most supportive of my decision to lose weight. I don't know why they would be unsupportive! My roomate thinks what I am doing is a wonderful thing.

Everything to gain and A lot to Lose,

Update 1

There are skinny people everywhere on campus. I used to envy them. They can wear a small size, look good no matter what, and just plain old be beautiful. Looking at these girls made me upset. I made myself believe that because I wasn't that size, I couldn't be pretty. Now, after my hypnotherapy, I look at these girls as motivation. I know that someday i'll be able to be one of those girls who wear a size 4 or even 5. I'm not doing it to be like them, but i'm doing it for myself. No more comparing my body to those skinny girls on campus. I'll use them as inspiration and motivation.

Update 2

So I'm supposed to get at the least 20 mins of exercise a day; this even includes walking. So, this evening me and two other friends of mine went to the pool and swam laps. It felt soooo good. Don't get me wrong, i'm an active person. Just because i'. bigger doesn't mean im not active. I got out of the pool and my legs were tired as were my arms. I love that feeling. If I don;t lose weight this way, I don't know how i'll lose it!

Peace and Love
