2011 April 12 « The Girl Who Could (Formerly) Eat Anything

April 11

I’m doing pretty good so far this week. It’s amazing what taking control does for me. I can’t possibly have lost weight yet, but I feel thinner and when I look in the mirror, I see thinner. I have plans for Indian food with a friend on Friday, so I’m trying to keep things in control between now and then.

I gave in and bought a new scale on Friday, but it’s in its box in the linen closet right now. I decided to weigh once a month. I need to know what I weigh to accurately set my heart rate monitor for calorie counts, so it’s not realistic to not do it every once in a while. But I’m not going to obsess about it.

About The Girl Who Could (Formerly) Eat Anything

Most of my life, I could eat what I wanted, not exercise and remain thin. And then I couldn’t.

I’m five foot three and have been 110 pounds and 166 pounds. I’ve lost 35 pounds and gained back 15. I’ve tried to starve my body into submission. I’ve done Weight Watchers. I’ve counted calories. I exercise. I do it all.

Having been that “naturally thin” girl, learning to cope with my body’s changes has been a learning process and frustrating. I diet for a while (or change my lifestyle, as the politically correct term goes) and then get angry that I even have to diet and quit.

As I begin this blog on August 23, 2010, I weigh 145 pounds. My goal is 115 pounds. Past experience tells me I can reach that by December if I stay motivated. Since I can’t seem to stay motivated on my own, I started this blog to chronicle my efforts, my successes and my setbacks.

I plan to be brutally honest about my eating, my exercising and my inner struggles and feelings. I hope to be funny at times. I don’t promise to post something clever every day, but I will post on a daily basis what I eat and what physical activity I got.

I use www.myfitnesspal.com to track what I eat every day, then figure my point budget on the blog at the end of each day. So, here we go …

For those who are interested, I’m also a writer and have another blog dedicated to musings that have nothing to do with weight loss. You can explore the rest of my garbled brain at An Unexplored Wilderness.
