I'm definitely not a diary kind of person, but I suppose it could help. I've tried writing a blog, but with no readers, feedback, or support, it's kind of pointless. So, after reading some success stories and other diaries, I decided to make my own.
I've always known I was a little overweight, probably since grade 5. But what really kicked in was that a group of friends and I were at the park and it started raining. And we had to run to a friend's house. I was so out of breath, and that's when I realized how terribly out of shape I am.
14 July 2010 is the official start.
It's not a diet. In fact, I don't even have a diet to follow. I'm just trying drink a lot of water, eat three, healthy, portion-appropriate meals and a snack or two, along with working out. A LOT. A whole heck of a lot, in fact.
I'm starting out at 165 (I'm 5 foot 7) and want to be at 130 by 7 September 2010. But if I could get down to 115 (my goal weight) that would be awesome. But that's a lot to ask in just under two months. I'm also trying to clear up my mild acne, and hopefully the combination of these two will result in more confidence!
I want to be healthy for myself, but also for other trivial reasons. I mean, who doesn't think about the reaction they'll get when people see them thin? Also, there's the whole "I wonder if so and so will like me?" Stupid, yes. But is it a factor? Absolutely.
So, that's the start of my diary, mostly rantings and just a place to get this out.
