Here's to 2012 Being the Best Year Yet!
I am 24 and have been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. I was always the chubby kid in school, except for a few years in highschool where I somehow managed to lose all my baby fat but still felt that I wasn't thin enough. So basically, I have spent most of my life wishing I were smaller and although I was exercising quite a bit, it wasn't until I changed the way I ate that I actually started losing weight.
Since seriously comitting to Sparkpeople in January ...
I am 24 and have been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. I was always the chubby kid in school, except for a few years in highschool where I somehow managed to lose all my baby fat but still felt that I wasn't thin enough. So basically, I have spent most of my life wishing I were smaller and although I was exercising quite a bit, it wasn't until I changed the way I ate that I actually started losing weight.
Since seriously comitting to Sparkpeople in January 2010, I have managed to lose between 20-24 lbs depending on the week/day. I had stopped tracking my food because I felt that I was doing well and didn't need to anymore as I was between 121 and 126 from about September 2010 to September 2011. I think I can attribute that success to healthy eating (because I was living on my own and could really control what I ate) and a high-stress life of doing Masters studies (not exactly healthy...).
Since being back home mid-August 2011 I know I have gained weight even though I haven't weighed myself because my clothes are tight. I am NOT happy with the way I look and am determined to get back on track. I know working out is not the problem because I am pretty consistent with working out 4-6 days a week. It's the diet that's killing me. I need to make healthier food choices and be more aware of what and how much I'm eating. 2012 is a new year and I am determined to make it the best year of my life health/fitness wise!
I've decided that I am not going to weigh myself for a while. I am going to take progress pictures and measurements instead and base my fatloss on a pair of jeans I own that I fit into last year. The scale just depresses me and it isn't always accurate.
I am looking forward to moving out in March and being back in control of what I'm eating and also being able to try new exciting recipes with my boyfriend. I think this will make a big change in how I feel and look. I'm also looking forward to keeping up with bodyrock this year and running a half marathon with my sister!
