Looking for motivation?

How about a tattoo?
I am officially going to work towards getting fit because I want a tattoo.
But not just any tattoo. The tattoo I want will cover my entire back, which I will of course want to flaunt.
Why would I want to flaunt a tattoo if I’m too embarassed to show off my body? This is the exact reason why I must look good. Plus, I want it to look good, too.  So, for the tattoo to look good, my body must look good.

It’s just my reasoning. I don’t think every tattoo needs this, but I will be covering my back. I didn’t think if it like this when I got a tiny one on my ankle. But I was everyone to see my back!

That is just some motivation. In case anyone wants to use it too ;)

I have neglected myself for long enough

Following my trip to Gatlinburg, I was so caught up in school events (prom, exams, final grades, etc.) that I lost sight of my inner goal: to look and feel good about myself.
Now that I am done with everything (in two weeks I graduate!) I must get my focus back to my health.

However, I must find a way to focus on both my health and other events. I cannot lost sight of this anymore. I must do this not only for me, but for my dear mother. She suffers everyday looking at me like this, knowing I’m depressed being like this for so long.

I solemly swear to go back to the gym and eat right!!
Meaning, no more sodas, chips, sweets, BREAD. Nothing of the sort.
Anyone who feels the same, say aye!

Losing size not weight

I’ve been changing my eating habits and exercising more since about February, and I have not lost one pound!
My mother has told me that I am looking a bit slimmer but whenever I step on the scale it shows that same number. I must admit, it’s a bit discouraging. But then I put on an old shirt and it fits better.

Could it be because I am doing weights and cardio? Or maybe the weather? I live in Florida and we’ve been having some bipolar weather lately…

Best wishes to all :)

Day one-not too good

I figure that keeping everything written down somewhere will help me benefit. At least in the beginning. So, here it goes.
I ended up getting 4 hours of sleep due to my anxiety (my mother left for the weekend and I get worried about her safety while traveling). And thanks to stress, breakfast became 2 bowls of cereal  :( And the sugar kind. Twice as bad, eh?
I then had to wait 4 HOURS at the car dealership to get my brother’s car fixed plus an hour to and an hour from. 6 hours without food and only some coffee. Bad for metabolism.
Although, I made it up by having 2 eggs when I got home. And now, even though I don’t want to, I am forcing myself to go to the gym. I know I must go, so I will.
Plus it gives me an excuse to drive my new car :)

I will do better tomorrow.
Good luck to all, as well :)

Hello

So after a day of being lazy and pigging out, I was stitching up some jeans once again. I decided that I need some sort of support to keep up with my diets and lifestyle changes. I am desperate to change my body image. I’ve been like this for too long!
I am about to start college in the fall and I am 183 pounds! I want to at least be 160 by then. I have 4 monthes to lose at LEAST 23 pounds. But I want to reach halfway in June.
College will be a change of life for me and I want my body to change too.

So, from here on out, I will vow to eat better and keep going to the gym.
