Since moving here, I've obsessed, moved from binging to starving, done a lot of freaking out. I weighed about 136 when I moved here. It's now up to 141. I guess for a first semester in college and so many changes, that's not so bad. I have a scale now. and I need to lose weight in a healthy way. But I'm taking like 15 credit hours a semester, and I don't have time for a PE class or anything. also, I'm sure when I go home for Christmas, I'll eat more, because I won't have crappy cafeteria food. I only gained .5 of a pound over this holiday, though.

I need to have will power and stop eating pizza for breakfast. My eating habits have definitely gone downhill since becoming a college student.

I'm in college now, with no scale, and not going to even try counting the cafeteria food. I just eat when I'm hungry, mostly salads and fruits and cottage cheese and crackers and nuts, and allow only unhealthy thing a day. My pants are from sizes 5-8, mostly seven. I'm probably not going to participate in CC for the time being.

vacation, weight gain, and surprises
Aug 15 2009 13:07

I went on vacation in Virginia for ten days, ate whatever I wanted. The only time I was weighed was at the doctor, with clothes and shoes, after eating, 142. I've assumed I've gained. He said I weighed 145 right before leaving. I told him I'd eaten tons, just that we did stuff like walk around dc, hike the mountains, and swim in the ocean.

So, today, because I have to weigh my luggage, I weighed myself. Surprise of surprises! 135. It is awesome! I assumed much more like 142 still.

and on wednesday, I am off to california!

pants shopping

I went to try on pants today. My weight today: 137 pants size I fit into: 8

Hoooray! Maybe by the time I get to 130, I'll be a 6?

work out

For the past week or so, I've been walking my dog and hiking for about an hour to an hour and a half every day. Today, I decided to try something new and started the 30 day shred, as I've heard tons about it. It was difficult, and by the end of it, when she said it was over, I almost felt like crying with relief. I'm going to keep it up until I go to virginia and then finish it for the last ten days or so when I get back before I go to college. I think I just want to be 130 before I leave for college around august tenth or so, a simple enough goal.

down again!

Still feeling super good about myself. Saw someone I hadn't seen in two years, and she was like, "wowwwww, min, you look so good now!"

It might be too early, but as it's been a week since I put my scale away, I weighed myself. 140! WOOO FOR HEALTHY BMI.

WOOO. FOR THIS WAS MY ORIGINAL (second, really, first 170, now 140) GOAL WEIGHT.

HEALTHY BMI FOR THE WIN.

also, my new goal is 130. I won't take my scale back down 'til June 15th.

and I've felt pretty damn good about my weight lately. :D SIXTY POUNDS DOWN, TOO. sweeeeet.

weight fluctuations got me down. I figured my eating disorder-like tendencies are a product/extension of my codependency. I put my scale on the top shelf in my garage. I will be unable to get to it without a ladder.

whoooo

I have no idea how much I weigh right now, but I bought new capris yesterday AND THEY ARE A SIZE 9. A NINE. AS IN SINGLE DIGIT SIZES. Whoooooo.

In other good news, I intensely love college. Physical geography makes me want to scream, "I LOVE LEARNING" in the middle of class.

And in other, other good news, in about 7 hours, I will be picking up my friend who moved about an hour away and I never get to see anymore AND GOING TO AN AMUSEMENT PARK WITH HER ON SATURDAY.

The bad news is that my little rat has a tumor. As she had about 4 months ago and the vet gave her a week to live, it doesn't look so good. That time, I gave her some antibiotics and it went away. But this might not go away so easily again. We have a 2:15 vet appointment, so we'll see what he says, but I'm not looking towards him telling me anything other than that my rat's going to die.  So, besides that, life seems to be awesome.

edit: I weighed myself after posting this, and even though I've eaten and drinken today and haven't had a BM lately, 142! Woooooo. GO HEALTHY BMI.
