I've never really had full control over my weight. I've tried the zone, walking daily, the "I'm in college so I can't afford food" diet, and even weight watchers among other things. I've learned a lot from each of these but it never seems to be enough.
My highest weight has been 260lbs around age 18 (in all honesty it may have been more but after 255 you just stop counting). I remember weighing 135 in intermediate school and thinking I was the size of a Victorian house. Within the past year I was down to 141. I'm currently 5'5" and would like to be 138. Right now weighing in at 163.
I'm setting my first goal for 13lbs (150) within 6 weeks.
So now I've gone and signed up for Traineo with hopes of making differences every day. And hoping they're positive differences.
And now you (if you choose the task) get to read my pitfalls and revelations.
So far I can say that I've learned:
-I'm a selfish excercizer and dieter. I need to have someone to help push me and someone to push as well. Boyfriends come in handy for this stuff.
-While having celiac disease causes me to live gluten-free (yes that means no traditional bread products and then some) cuts out a lot of the obvious bad things; it means on the rare occasion I allow myself those bad things...well have fun trying to pull my head out of the box of gluten-free chocolate covered chocolate doughnuts while coming out of it with all limbs still attached.
-I actually enjoy healthy food and enjoy excercizing. My problem is that I also enjoy bad food and enjoy being a lush and lazy bum with my lazy bum's bum firmly planted on the couch. I mostly need to learn how to balance those polar opposites out.
Well, we'll see how this goes.
Oh and today I danced and swam.
