If any of you aren't aware of Oxygen's show "Ruby", I highly recommend it. I started watching it the other day, and I couldn't stop. It's about a severely over-weight woman who struggles with her eating habits, just like I do, except she has so much hope, and she is so inspiring, that it makes me believe that I can do anything, so that's how I came about with this whole blogging business.
In the show, Ruby decides to write when she feels a craving, or write when she just needs to write about her feelings... and not eat them! I have that problem... c'mon girls, we all do... you know, the one sweet 16 donut leads to the entire bag you just bought at walgreens completely gone.
I've tried everything. Slim fast, starving myself, water diet... but the only thing that seemed to work for me well was a program called Weight Watchers. I think that's the best idea for me, now, because it worked, and I feel is the healthiest way to lose weight and understand portions and things.
This might just be another weight loss blog, and it might not be the first time you've read one, but I needed to start. I think support from strangers is the best medicine to keep me going, and to keep me on track. Which, I think I'll get off of from time to time... who doesn't?
Anyhow, if you want to join me, feel free. If not, that's okay too. I just don't need discouraging words and comments, keep those to yourself!
So without further hesitation, here it goes.
Today, I started out fine. You know, the regular breakfast... a cup of raisin bran and a cup of milk. healthy. packed myself a tuna kit, ranch mini quakes, and ONE pop tart for lunch. Surprisingly low for my diet.
today, my weight is... as of July 29th, 2009... 260. *audience gasps*
You know ya'll, I have no idea how I got myself to this point. I kept telling myself "I'm never going to let myself get over 250" and here I am, 40 pounds away from 300. If I don't do something now, I'm going to regret it.
I just have to keep on my schedule, my diet, and my encouraging words. Today I can't excersie because I have SO much going on, but I'll try to squeeze maybe walking around this school a few times and sweating my a** off during lunch break. Thanks FL heat, even if I go outside to walk, I lose a few pounds just by sweating.
Much love to you all,
Allie
