Why Hello!
I figured I should probably introduce myself since I post on the boards and no one has met me yet-how rude!
I am 22 years old, 5'6 and my start weight was 191. I'm very "dense" because I've always been active: cheerleader, tennis player, gymnastics coach, etc. The breaking point, however, was when I realize that in the three and a half years that my fiance and I have been together, I haven't ever been happy with my body. Oh and then that made me remember that I can't EVER remember a time that I've been happy with my body. That was a very scary conclusion for me. I have lived 20 years unhappy, I don't want to spend another 20 like that! It's time for change.
I've tried all the other diets: low cal, low fat, slim fast, and nutri-system. I have a really hard time sticking to plans. I get a craving and there goes the diet. My biggest problem has been that with those diets, if you're out and about and you don't have your food, you are tempted to stray-not a problem on Atkins! We just stop at in-and-out for flying dutchmen!
Today is day 7. I haven't weighed myself since day 4 (189.2-down 1.8 lbs) and I am going to try not to weigh myself again until day 14. I have my TOM friend so any weigh in right now would be off anyway. I go to the gym about every other day with a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio and a pretty extensive weight lifting routine.
I have a seven day cruise to mexico leaving on tax day-April 15- and my fiance and I are bound and determined to stick to it until then. We may even stay on induction till then just to keep it simple.
My biggest concern however is the cruise. We know we're going to drink and we would kick ourselves later if we passed up the dessert table (that's what EVERYONE talks about in reference to cruises). I'm a little disappointed that the cruise will screw up our commitment but we'll do the gym on ship and hop right back on after we get back.
Well, that's it
I'm so excited to weigh in next week. I really have to get some of this weight off and find a happiness and respect for my body that i've never had.
