Oh man... I guess I never realized just how much I was eating before I started this. I kind of wish I had kept a record of the
calories I consumed and how much I weighed because as soon as I started keeping a food journal, I started eating less. Now I've lost like 10
pounds, and I love it. My mom keeps complimenting me about how I look now that the weight is coming off.
I've got my parents starting to watch the
calories they eat, now I have to set them up on fitday so they can actually see it. I'm not sure how "in to it" my dad is, haha, he just had 2 pork bbq sandwiches and he's now eating chips, but he had his gallbladder taken out so he had to watch his
fat intake (and lost 10
pounds) and he watches what he eats more now when we eat together. I'm proud of them. My mom has started keeping a food diary, too, and I think she has more realistic
goal weights than I do, even though my
goal is to weigh 150 by 6/27/09 (my 18th birthday) hers is 200 by New years. Actually, if I calculate it, I only have to lose like 1.3 lbs a week, whereas she has to lose 1.5-1.8
pounds every week. So yeah, I take that back. haha...
I am in love with this sugarfree jello I made with
diet mountain dew. (Kickass, man) The flavor is so much better than the lime jello in the cups that you buy at the store.
I went to the movies with my parents yesterday, but I was really proud of how I did. I basically drank 32 oz.
Diet Coke (haha, I know,
diet soda isn't exactly good for me but it was better than pigging out on a slurpee.
) and had a few sugar-free candies. I actually ended up having to eat a meal after dinner to get my calorie count in because I woke up at lunch time. YAY!
I used to exceed my maximum caloric intake in 2 meals because I would just eat so much crap. haha... seeing that in words makes me feel good. Usually, movies would increase my
calories 500-650. This time, I got out with 35
calories.
Man, you guys really must feel good when you see your weight dropping. I know I do!
YAY!!
I'll talk to you guys later, we're having flounder for dinner.
