like always, i have a really good start and do great for a week, and then i give up. ive been off my diet for 6 days now and just eating what i felt likewhen i was hungry. although i was not strictly following the diet, i was trying to incorporate fruit and veggies and drinking a lot of water. that is going pretty well at least, which is good because im well on my way to adapting a healthy lifestyle and eating habits even after the diets are done. tomorrow starts my being good and recording what i eat again, and im going to stick to it this time. motivation is back!
I had to go to the doctors this week because i thought i had really bad sinus and ear infections. turns out i had really bad allergies and sinus problems and i popped my ear drum because of the allergies stuff and pressure building up in it. im on medicine now and feeling better finally. the surprising thing about the doctors is that i actually let them weigh me. for years, like since i was 12 or so, i would refuse to let the nurse weigh me. i knew how much i weighed, but i didnt think they needed to know. i finally let them. i think there are two reasons. the first is that i wanted to check my scales accuracy with theirs (its right yay). i think im also finally sick of hiding the weight and just ready to be like yes, i weight that much, no im not ashamed, and yes im trying to change it for me. im surprised no doctor or nurse has ever said that i needed to lose weight. i think its because all of my stuff is in the really healthy range even though im bigger. like all my blood pressure and blood sugar and heart and everything is still really healthy and normal. im thankful for that.
great news: 7 pounds weight loss so far!! 13 to go until goal 1!

whew yesterday was a bad day. I ate a lot more than i should have. i was with kelly today, and we went to the buy one get one free pasta night at beggars. i ate the salad and said i would only eat a few gnocchi, but i ended up eating the whole thing. i felt really guilty. i said i was done eating for the night, but then i ended up eating a caramel sundae and drinking part of a coke at mcdonalds with eric. that made me feel more guilty. i overate a lot and it was all crap. once i messed up my diet with the pasta, i just figured i might as well eat other stuff since my diet for the day was already ruined. i need to learn that if i mess up on one choice and eat something bad that i can still recover for the day and still make healthy choices for everything. Thats ok. today is another day, and i am back on track for the diet. one bad day once in a while wont kill me. overall ive been doing great, and thats what matters.

So day three, and its going well. I think I have mostly gotten over the initial hungriness all the time that starts when I start dieting. I am falling back into the same pattern as last time I did weight watchers: I don't eat much during most of the day because I don't want to run out of points and be hungry later, and then suddenly it's 10:30 at night and I have 15 points left to eat. I do this quit often, and it's a bad habit of mine.
I've been very proud of myself so far. Yesterday I went to a baby shower and instead of eating a bunch of crap food, I ate a lot of pineapple and strawberries and carrots. I limited myself to a few chips and a bit of dip for the carrots. Eric picked me up from work last night, and he went to Mr. Sub. I was hungry but instead of getting a sub, I waited to eat until I got home and could eat something better. Today Eric and I went to the mall, and we went to eat at the food court. Eric got Sbarro. I got a salad with veggies and no cheese and low cal italian. Eric didn't want his garlic bread rolls because they weren't garlicy enough, but instead of eating them like I normally would have, I just took a 1/4 of one. It satisfied my craving but didn't break my diet. All in all, I've been pretty satisfied with the choices I've been making to try to bypass or limit the bad food I'm eating. Let's keep it up!
Another thing I have noticed that I do is obsessively check my weight. I weight myself all the time. It's not just once a day or something. Sometimes it's multiple times a day. I don't even think about doing it. I just feel the sudden urge to, and I go and do it. It kinda drives me nuts. I think I'm subconsciously looking for the validation that my dieting is paying off, but I need to stop the weighing myself. I'm gonna try to hold off until I reach a week on the diet, and then I'll weigh myself and see the total progress so far and do an official weigh in. I hope I will get a good surprise at the end of the week.

So I just started, and I feel really motivated. I tried doing the diet thing about a month ago, and I lost 9 pounds in a week and a half, but like always, I quit. I always quit, but I have promised myself that I won't this time. For the first time every, I actually believe this promise. Usually I tell myself that I will, but secretly in the back of my head I know I won't stick with it. Tomorrow I am going to call around to different gyms and try to find info about membership prices so that Eric, Ryan, and I can join. I'm excited for that lol which is surprising because i HATE sweating! For me to be looking forward to working out is really something. Tonight I wanted to go running, but that didn't happen because I can barely even run a block. I did do a bunch of walking at work today. 8 hours of standing and constant walking is pretty good.
My mom said she's going to do the diet with me as long as I calculate the points for her. She doesn't like math. I hope she is actually serious about doing the diet. I ask her all the time to do ww with me, and she always says yes, but she never does. She always says she will just stop eating for a while and drop 30 pounds quick like she did before her wedding. I wish she would realize that this is pointless and in the end will probably be worse for her. She is going to kill her metabolism, and even if she drops some weight, it is only temporary and will come right back once she starts eating. I just wish my mom would be happy. She totally defines herself with her weight and she is always calling herself a fat disgusting cow. I know I'm overweight, but I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. She's so miserable.
I'm really scared about going to six flags this summer. I don't want a repeat of last year. Last summer on our girl scout trip to cedar point, I stood in line for a long time waiting for a roller coaster, and when I went to get into the car, the seatbelt wouldn't buckle. It was the most mortifying thing in my whole life. I tried to play it off like I was too scared and couldn't handle going on the ride. I would rather have those people in line thinking I was a chicken than thinking I was too fat to ride. My sister knew I couldn't fit because she was in the seat next to me. She asked if I wanted her to come off with me, but I said no. When she got off she ran up to me crying and hugged me and said she was so sorry and that I shouldn't think anything of it because the belts were actually kinda small. (they actually were because another girl who is a size 14 had marks from where the seatbelt dug into her, but thats not the point) That was the single most embarrassing moment of my life. I am determined to never let that happen to me again. But because of that experience, you can bet I will not be attempting to get on another ride until I know I will fit with no problem.
Well I guess that's all I have to say right now. Just wanted to get some of my thoughts down in a journal. Today is day one, and I'm already loving this site. Lets hope this all goes well. I know it will.
