Yesterday I did not enter a journal because I worked 13 hours and when I got home I did not feel like it, but here is a recap: I ate like a fat kid :( I had 4 slices of pizza for dinner last night. In my defense I was too tired to cook dinner and was starving from having lunch 8 hours prior to getting home. I need to remember
LAZINESS IS NOT AN EXCUSE
. I need to get with the program and stay with the program.
However when I weighed myself this morning I was 199.8 and that was with a bottle of water in my stomach (silly me forgot to weigh as soon as I got up). Small victories make me happy and keep me motivated. YESSS! I feel like I have more energy and confidence already :D
I took a challenge on this website to not drink alcohol for one month in order to help me lose weight. I added not drinking sodas in with it. OH MY GOD is this hard! I normally drink at least one soda a day and yesterday was my first day of not having one. I almost caved last night, but I chose to drink some water with a cherry flavor packet. It was just as satisfying to me thank goodness. This morning I woke up with the same craving for a soda except it was worse. I again chose the water with a flavor packet. I feel so happy that I did this. I feel no guilt. :D

AHHH! Small victory! Yesterday was my first day of my lifestyle change and I weighed myself before I began my day and my scale read 200.2 pounds. This morning I weighed in at 199.6. I know it was only a .6 loss but I am super ecstatic! It was enough for me to continue my routine today with CONFIDENCE.
Yesterday I accomplished a lot of small feats. I only ate when I was hungry and when I ate I chose healthier foods and snacks. I even logged everything into my food journal so I could see exactly what I was putting into my body. I admit that I was way under my calories for the day.
I had the day off work yesterday so I did very small workouts that consisted of dancing for a few minutes multiple times and even following a work out video I found on Netflix last night. I normally have 4 days off a week so on each of these days I need to commit to beginning a small work out routine whether it be walking my dogs extra time, dancing, riding my bike, or following videos.
I'm beginning to love working out. As long as I keep it fun and make it seem like I'm not really working out I know it will definitely help me out when it comes to keeping up with my routine. Today I plan to buy a jump rope and hula hoop. I used to love these things as a kid and they can be great for cardio and ab building :D

This is my first journal entry on myfatsecret.com. I've always been inconsistent with journals and also my diets. Let's hope this one sticks.
Introduction
: My name is Mindy and I've been overweight my entire life. From a young age I was never taught healthy eating habits and that carried over into my adult life. I was teased constantly as a child because of my weight and food was always my comfort; it was the only thing I felt like I had any control over.
In 2009 I joined a gym in an attempt to finally get healthy. I absolutely loved going because I would push myself and feel great after my work outs. I even hired a personal trainer to help maximize my workouts and help me guide me on changing my eating habits. I lost a total of 30 pounds in the course of about 6 months. I felt great! I loved the way I looked, I always had tons of energy, and it was the first time I could ever remember fitting into a size 12 pants.
But in February of 2010 my mother got diagnosed with lung/pancreatic cancer. I put me on hold to be there for her. I stopped going to the gym and my emotional eating habits came back into play. All I cared about was spending what little time I knew I had with her. In May of 2010 my mother passed away. At that point I went into a state of depression and could not have cared any less about my health. From May of 2010 until now (Feb. 2012) I have gained all of my weight back plus about 20 pounds.
Why I want to lose weight
: I am now almost 22 years old and weight 200 pounds. I do not feel healthy, I do not look healthy, and every day I wish I had my old body back. I miss feeling sexy, confident, and I am very tired of feeling ashamed of my body and even more so I hate feeling exhausted all the time. I would love to be able to keep up with my boyfriend when we exercise together and not get discouraged that he can pretty much run laps around me.
I am hoping to change all of this around now and get my life back on track the way I think it should be.
