Today's Weight: 122.8lbs, new low!
Total Loss: 35.8lbs
Hello, hello! As promised, I'm trying to pop into here and update more frequently since I've realized how much I've missed that accountability and self-evaluation that this encourages me to do. It actually really helps to write about how I feel about food during the day because it makes me learn what things are triggers for me and how to better cope with them. Although who am I kidding, if I have an emotion I want to eat: happy, sad, lonely, depressed, nervous, you name it. I want to eat it. Haha.
I had a surprising drop this morning for a new low of 122.8! I'm now about 12-13lbs away from my goal weight and I'm seriously so excited. I never really thought I'd make it here. I mean I'd hoped, but I had always resigned myself to being the bigger, awkward, uncomfortable-with-myself girl. Not anymore! I'm still not where I want to be yet, but the results have been so dramatic and I'm thrilled with how I look and feel even now. It has definitely given me a whole new confidence in myself. What's even cooler is when other people notice this new confidence as well. Even cooler still? My thighs don't touch anymore when I walk... amazing!
Today was particularly challenging because it was Thanksgiving... oh my gosh, all of the family favorite treats were all over the place and it was about all I could do to stay out of the amazing food. Particular favorites of mine are stuffing and the table full of desserts...but I survived! I had tons of turkey, salad, and brussels sprouts to curb my hunger. Overall I have to say it wasn't toooo bad though, since I'm used to my college friends eating all sorts of junk around me and resisting.
I have to say, I'm kind of shocked that I haven't strayed once from this way of eating. It feels great, I'm just concerned about how successful I will be at keeping off the weight and moderating myself when I actually do start adding foods back in... Hm. Something to worry about later down the road though, I have a feeling that I've got at least a few more months on this to lose the last few. My loss has been exceptionally slow over the last month, though that may have something to do with being very sick for the last couple of weeks and all of the medication I've been on for that.
Another plus: after the first of the year, one of my best friends at college wants to try this plan with me! She's watched me shrink over the last few months and admitted to being "totally jealous" of my results and wants to see how it will work for her! I'm so excited for her to get started. I'm supposed to go grocery shopping with her and show her how to shop for the right foods... I'm kinda not looking forward to the first couple of weeks when she's having a difficult time sticking to it. She's gonna kill me! haha.
Hope you all had lovely Thanksgiving's and managed to enjoy your food while staying as on track as you were planning to!

Day 125 (PV)-- Long-awaited update! 4 months on this plan!
Most recently low: 123.8lbs!
Total Loss: 34.8lbs
Current Weight: 125.2lbs
Hey guys, so sorry for the huge gap between updates!! I've had my head buried in school work, trying to balance a social life, as well as stay on plan that I've totally neglected this blog to keep me accountable. I hope all of you are still out there being successful!
In short, I have had a hellish past couple of months with my class load. On top of that, the guy I was dating decided that he didn't want the commitment of a girlfriend after all, so it has also been a struggle of how to deal with that and still seeing him all of the time in my classes and studying together... it has been an awkward dance of seeing who can act the least awkward about it. I also just got through a hellish midterm week where I also contracted Strep Throat!
But, despite all of these obstacles, I have managed to stay completely on plan (somehow) and have been loving the results. And no, I didn't give into the pint of ice cream/batch of brownies that were calling my name post-breakup either! I was quite proud of myself for that. I haven't really been dropping as many pounds as I would like, being sick the last week has definitely put that to a halt with all of the cold medicine/sugar-free cough drops/antibiotics that I've been having to take, but I had to buy new jeans a couple weeks ago because all of my old "skinny" jeans were now falling off of me!
I haven't had a ton of progress in the last month I suppose, maybe only about three pounds, but I'm trying to convince myself that I will have a big drop soon and that it's just my body freaking out from all of the stress and being sick...
Hope to check in more often! ( I know, I know, I said that last time...)
