Hellooo.

Ive dieted a bizillion times. I lose 20 pounds, and to celebrate fitting back into my favorite jeans, Ill go out and eat/drink back all the weight. A sometimes fun, sometimes really depressing cycle. Ive joined a gym and for the first time really enjoy some time to myself and find it a remarkable stress relief.

Im a Canadian gal who has an active social life (which somehow always includes eating out and drinking far too much for a dieter) I go to school and work full time and somehow fit in said social life.....and I need help. support. a way to get my life in order and not feel like a mess when I look in the mirror.

Although I feel that there is so much wrong in our society when a girl with hips and tits is an outcast and deemed unsexy forever (hips and tits are unsexy?!) the most important reason I wanna lose weight is because of the way I feel . seriously, Im disgusted with myself somedays. To the point where I dont wanna leave the house. Or walking down the street with my boyfriend is painful....not only cause Im out of breath, but because the reflections in the windows freak me right out. When what I picture as myself in my head is not what I see passing by I decided there is something wrong with me.....and Im gonna change that.

It felt fantastic. Its lame, but its really the only time in my life where I… Continue

enough is enough

OK, so Ive been all mopey and when I wake up I pretty much walk into my living room and flop down onto the couch and wanna fall back asleep. PATHETIC! I finally broke down and went to the doctor yesterday and got some antibiotics (which I loathe but Im sick of being sick) and I already feel better. SO today - gameplan - clean up my apartment (I promised the boyfriend Id do the dishes) and then, since its my day off GET MY TIRED ASS TO THE GYM. I know now that when I dont work out, I get depress… Continue

restart.

I am a total blogging virgin. I simply googled this site and it seems fantastic. I have started dieting and joined a gym about 2 months ago, but this plan I have put myself on is all on again off again. Its hard because I go out so much and have no real willpower when it comes to parties and get togethers that involve treats and alcohol. (not to mention, if you have too much booze all you wanna do the next day is eat to settle your stomach, which makes things worse) I started a journal as well,… Continue
