Gotta admit, reading the diaries on this forum have really inspired me to write one of my own. I did read the sticky and took some time to answer the questions...
1. How much weight do I want to lose? I would like to lose about 20
pounds, but at this point, I would be happy with just a few to start with.
2. What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight? I would like to lose 20
pounds in 2 months, but a few
pounds dropped in 2 months would make me happy
3. How do you want to accomplish your
goal? With
diet, exercise, and a ton of water
4. When will you start? I started (kinda) June 3rd. Haven't seen much of a difference, so I am starting now full-force...no more extra food on the weekends, and lots and lots of water
5. Current height and weight? 5'5" and 125 lbs (please don't say this is ideal weight for me, I have read that everywhere, I'm just not happy with it)
6. If you were at your ideal weight now, what would that weight be? 105-110 (this is what I weighed before having children & for years afterwards, I know I can do it again)
7. Why do you think you have a weight problem? I don't really think it is a problem, per say, just a kink. I wanna wear my favorite clothes again
8. What lifestyle changes do you think would help you lose weight? No mid-evening snacking
9. Why do you believe that you did not lose weight nor you gained the weight back? surgery, stopped smoking, eating fast food (all in about 2months timeframe)
10. Would you try writing down all food and drink consumed for a given period of time? Of course that's why I'm here
, only I don't know how to figure
calories
11. If you woke up tomorrow and your
body was exactly the way you want it, what would be different? No tummy flab, and I would be parading around in my favorite shorts
12. Do you eat when you are not hungry? yes
13. Do you binge eat? yes
14. Do you hide your food or eat in secret? not so much any more
15. Do you eat when you are sad, nervous, or depressed? I usually eat when I am bored (taking the place of the cigaretts)
16. In terms of exercise, what, if anything, are you currently doing? I walk about 3 miles every morning before work, and I do 100 sit-ups, running in place for two minutes, and jumping back and forth for two minutes, knee to opposite elbow 20 reps, lunges 10 reps each leg, squats 10 reps (nothing seems to help
)
17. Do you have rewards for your certain goals? my one reward would be to wear my shorts again
now that I have said all that...my measurements are as follows:
chest: 34
waist: 32
hips: 35
thighs: 22
I would like to get my waist and thighs down a couple inches or more...I don't like the way my thighs look when I sit down....
All for now....
