Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend

UPDATE TIME!!!!!!

It’s time for the big reveal!

I did it!

Sorry about the poor quality, I took it with my camera phone, and then edited the lighting in Picasa.  But HAH SUCK IT!

Goal for next Sunday….2 lbs!  Apparently 5 lbs was too much so yeah. ON TO THE POST!

So, luckily for me I got sick on Christmas Eve.  We’ve had this nasty stomach virus going around and I got it.  So everything I had before that made me feel like a cow, I threw up.  So yay.  But it was really terrible.

I’ve joined a gym and have been going for approximately 3 days.  I like working out, it gives me a sense of worth.

Also, in preparation for tonight I’ve put together a list of foods I will no longer allow myself to have. And they are the following:

• Hot pockets
• Corndogs
• Tater tots
• Pizza Rolls
• Dr. Pepper
• Red Bull
• Honey Buns
• Pop Tarts
• Wendy’s
• McDonald’s
• Chocolate
• Cake
• 12″ BMT Subs
• Italian Sausage
• Pringles
• ComplEATS
• Ravioli
• Beefaroni
• Gas Station Pizza
• Taco Bell
• Star Bucks
• Edna’s
• Chili
• Gushers
• M&M’s
• Mountain Dew
• Mexican Restaurant

Pretty extensive huh?

Here’s a list of foods I WILL allow myself to eat.

• Turkey &  Ham sandwich
• Water
• Lean Cuisines
• Cheerios
• Apple Sauce

So yeah, quite a difference.  I’m sure that as this goes on I will get used to not eating as much, and will be comfortable to eat those foods again (only some though!) without feeling like I’m undoing everything.

So that is all!  Be sure to check in and read my mid-week blog.  Because next week I’m gonna be weighing 230lbs and there’s nothin you can do about it OH!

How could I be so stupid?

Just a quick mid-week update.

I should have known how hard t his was going to be.  I chose to get fit like 4 days to Christmas, duh.  That’s like the ULTIMATE pig-out holiday aside from Halloween!

Because everywhere you go people are bringing food for their little “Christmas parties” and “Holiday Fiestas” and they want you to eat so they don’t have to take it home and clean it up.

Anyway, I realized that I was really dumb yesterday when we had our Christmas party at work.  I over ate and in turn felt like a cow.

Oh yeah, so here are some ideas I’ve been having about this blog thing.  Every week that I weigh myself, I’ll post a picture of the scale on here.  It’s digital so I don’t think that there is a way to cheat but if I find one out…yeah.

ALSO.  And this is uber important!  If for whatever reason I don’t meet my weightloss goal for the week, I will let you punish me ala Vlogbrothers.  No one is allowed to say “Kill yourself”  or “Cut your face off and feed it to a small asian man with back pains”  Just something silly and stupid to keep me motivated.

So, yeah.  Enjoy the day, and if I don’t blog before then, Merry Christmas!

…Or Happy Hanukkah!

…or Merry Kwanza

…Or ya know…Happy Merry Nothing.

And so begins the journey

Hello world!

I’ve decided that it’s time I do something about my little “weight problem”.  And this blog isn’t necessarily what’s going to help me do it, but hopefully will keep me in check!

I’m 21 years old and I feel like I’m 40.  I’m overweight and that may be the reason why I don’t want to go out and party.  This is based on a purely superficial basis of “I want to look hot!”  Yeah everyone says that you should lose weight to be healthy, but honestly?  I don’t much like myself, so why would I care if my body was healthy?  And for all you nay-sayers out there spouting off that “Even if you do get fit, that’s not going to make you happy if you don’t like yourself”, shove off.  I don’t like myself because I let myself get this way.  I blamed a lot of things on why I gained so much weight.  My parents divorce, my sister’s friend, George Bush–the truth of the matter is, I did this to me.  No one else.

Now, let’s get down to facts here.

My current weight (I’m ballparking it) is 237 lbs.  According to the BMI calculator I’m going to have to lose 100 lbs to be considered “healthy”.  And me losing 100 lbs is just silly!  Eventually that would be a nice target goal but I think I’m going to be doing a weekly blog and set a goal of something like 5 lbs a week?  Does that seem reasonable?  Oh who asked you anyway?

So, as of next Sunday I shall weigh 232 lbs.  Just watch me baby!

I’m thinking of joining a gym, though I’m afraid that I’d die of embarrassment if people saw me run on a treadmill, so we’ll have to see how that goes.

Also, I think I’ll do a mid-week blog just to check in and let you know how it’s going.

Ta-ta dearies!
