So I’ve been away… for a while. More than a while. And once I stopped blogging, I immediately started gaining weight. I am now back up at 322.2 lbs, which is up 27.6 lbs since my last weigh in here on 6/24/12. I was actually balancing out around 290ish all summer and the first few months of fall. Then came finals last December. The stress and the lack of time just sort of sent me into a tail-spin. Which continued through a sedentary winter break. Then, once the spring semester started, I tried to reboot myself. And it was ok for a week or two. Then I started stressing about this summer, and internships and boys and school and all that bullshit, and shit started to get really out of hand. Over the past few months, I’ve pretty much eaten nothing but takeout. I’ll eat an egg sandwich on the way to school, greasy comfort food at a restaurant on campus, and take-out when I get home. Even this morning, my breakfast, consisted of ¾ a pack of Oreos. The family size pack. Something needs to change.
What prompted this sort of change of heart is a wedding, My cousin is getting married on May 5th (just about two weeks from now). I want to lose 20 lbs by then. I don’t see this side of the family too often, so if anyone would notice weight loss, it would be them. I just sort of want to use that recognition as a goal and reward sort of thing. I figure if I can make a change and get that recognition at the end of the next two weeks, it will sort of spur me on for this summer and hopefully beyond.
Anyway, if you have read this far, I applaud you for dealing with my rant and my angst. And if you have any advice, questions, or commiseration to share, feel free to message me.
