Week 1 Weigh In

Weight- 266

It has been a week since I have started counting calories and working out more and.... I have lost 7 pounds! I am very excited. I think it has been a great week. The best part is that I haven't felt like I have been depriving myself of anything, I have still had chips and a piece of cake this week, but I have worked it into my calorie count. I am posting my one week pictures. I think there is a slight difference. I am motivated to keep going. Later this week I am going to post a about the workouts I have been doing and the best app in the world that has kept me on track!

Starting Pictures

So.... These are probably the hardest pictures I have ever had to share in my entire life. Makes me realize just how important this journey is. It's hard to post this on here, but I know it will be great to look back soon and see the progress I have made.

The ahah moment!

I didn't want to do it again this year. I wasn't going to make another New Year's resolution to diet and lose weight. Every time for as long as I can remember that has been my yearly resolution. And every time I go on some radical diet and lose a few pounds, but more than not, gain it all back plus in a few months.  So I didn't do it this year. New Years went by and I kept eating the same old stuff I had before. Chocolate, pizza, soda, ect. The turning point came last night. I had walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and I looked down to see the scale staring back at me. I had been avoiding it for some time now. That whole, it's not real unless I see the number thing. It was a sper of the moment decision to step on. I wanted to cry at what I saw. 273 pounds, heaviest weight to date. At 22 years old I am closer to being 300 pounds then 200 pounds. I didn't cry, I got angry at myself for putting so much weight on. Angry at myself for getting so unhealthy. It was then that I realized my weight wasn't just about appearance any more, it was about health. I am on my way to a high-blood pressure, diabetes, and hearth disease, all at the ripe old age of 22. I realize it's not about dieting anymore. I need to get healthy and I need to do it in a way that I can stick to. This blog will be my journey of losing weight and getting healthy the old fashion way: counting calories and exercising.  Starting photo, eek, to come later.
