I had such a bad day yesterday, food-wise. Ugh... I was totally munchie and I ate cookies and teddy grahams and marshmallows.....yucky. I don't really even enjoy eating that crap. I have no idea why I do. Oh well...I guess I'll just have to be super good for the next little while.

So I guess I should start off with a bit of a background on my weight-loss journey. I know I'm only 19, but my weight has always been an issue for me. Even at times when I really had nothing to worry about it was always something that bothered me.

My real problem didn't start until my grade 12 year and the following summer(2006); I gained over 40 lbs, putting me at 5'3 and 173 lbs. That was a rough year - the stress of graduation, exams, AP classes, pressure to figure out the rest of your life - and then right after graduation, my grandmother(who I lived with) died quite suddenly (while I was home and about 20 feet away in another room -- traumatic, hello food) we were promptly kicked out of her house by the rest of my family, so it could be used as a hotel for other members of the family, shifted around for the summer and then I left BC (and all my family, friends, and boyfriend) and headed to Nova Scotia for university. I practically had a nervous breakdown when I got there, and came home within 3 weeks. I do not know what I was thinking.

Anyways, life has settled down, and I decided that this year I was going to put both the events and the weight of 2006 behind me, burn my prom pictures (lol) and make a vow to make a change. I lost 13 lbs on my own in the first few months of 2007, but quickly lost motivation, despite the most earnest effort on the part of my boyfriend. I recently joined LA Weightloss and I love it. I really need the speech: "This is what you can eat. Choose this many protiens, starches etc. THATS IT. If you cheat, its not the end of the world, we'll get you back on track. BUT DON'T CHEAT." And they let me have chocolate. Granted, its in the form of a protein bar, but hey man, when it comes to be that time of the month, it could be a chocolate covered anthill and I would eat it. Sosince joining about 3 weeks ago, I've lost 4 lbs and a bunch of inches. Slow, but consistant. And surprisingly easy. I just picked up the "Biggest Loser" workout DVD, and so far I like it. Hopefully that will help speed things along.
