I tried to delete my last journal entry because it makes me sound like an idiot, but to no avail. Anyway, I thought I'd type my history in here. Even if no one reads this, it could still serve as some kind of cathartic personal journal.
Anyway, thus far I've lost about 32 lbs. I've been eating well and exercising for almost a year, so I thought I'd be further along. But considering I'm only 19 years old, and I've lived a certain way my whole life, I'd say I'm doing pretty good. But I don't want to be complacent and just "okay" with still being overweight and keeping the rest of the weight off. I want to be healthy and confident, and I'm still not there yet.
I haven't ever really slipped up on my diet, in the eight months since I've been on it. I created a plan where I get to eat whatever I want for one day each month (usually a holiday), so that keeps my cravings at bay. I don't overeat or binge on my "day" though, I eat whatever I have a craving for in moderation. Also, the day after that I can't eat what I want; I go back to exactly how I was eating before. It's worked well so far, but I don't know how well it would work for others - they may not have enough strength to keep it down to a day or eat what they want in moderation.

I don't think you sound like an idiot at all, in either post. Which part did you think sounded idiotic? But if you want to delete things, you can. Just view your whole journal at once and there will be buttons to delete or edit. It can embarrassing sometimes to post things and then think about how many people can be reading it! I feel ya on that. But people here are generally very understanding and nonjudgmental here, and I figure that if someone is judging me, that is their problem and not mine. We are all here to support each other. Good luck on your weight loss journey! By the way, if you have been eating well and exercising for almost a year, you are probably already perfectly healthy. Your weight just may not have caught up with that yet. And you can be confident right now-- if you feel insecure now, that may not change with a loss of 15 lbs. I was so upset when I gained and got up to the weight you are now-- but oh how I'd love to be that weight at the moment! It's all a matter of pereception and your inner self.
