Its been a while since i've logged into calorie count. When I used to frequent the site, I was obsessed with losing weight. I was in the 130s and in high school, desperate to shed the weight.

I now return to CC only 119 pounds. I'm quite surprised... considering i've done absolutely nothing to change my lifestyle. I don't excercise, I don't eat healthy, so I don't know how I lost 10+ pounds in a year or less. The only logical explanation is that I started college, thus walking on campus several times a day across a vast area = excercise. Also food in college was horrible and I often lost my appetite. But when I returned home, I ate like a piggy and then lost weight at school again. Strange, huh? It seems like for most people, the opposite occurs. Yet... i've been home for the summer for 2 months now and I still haven't gained any weight back. I guess I'm just used to eating smaller now. So college was my big lifestyle change? So much for gaining the freshman 15 - I lost nearly that much my first year of college!

I'm now trying to lose the rest of the weight i've been trying to shed for years. I can't believe i've lost 10+ pounds of it effortlessly, and now that I am working retail (so i'm constantly on my feet), it gives me a better opportunity to burn calories at work and to keep myself away from the fridge at home, in case I resort to boredom eating.

However... I have less than a month until I return to school and i'm dying to lose the rest of the weight I need to lose. I understand its a short amount of time, but I don't expect to lose anything more than 5-10 pounds. I don't have a game plan yet, other than to start eating fruits, veggies, taking vitamins, you know... doing the healthy thing. I haven't had fruit in *forever* which is horrible, I know.

I have nothing creative or insightful to say, and I think my update is done. Considering nobody reads this anyway, i'll just leave it at that and say have a good evening.
