Hi, I'm new to the guild and really happy that i got accepted.
2 months ago I left my grandparents hom in Valparaiso to live in california so my dad could continue his job with my family around. I weighed 260 and I had planned to use my time near the beachs and the boardwalks to excersize more and get a job to help that.
Well, things went very very bad very very quick. My dad's boss lost his mind and attacked one of his employs, almost got nailed on white slavery charges, and tried to convince my dad to abandon his family so they could continue the bussiness over seas.
We ended up staying a motel six in the ghetto for two months, me and my brother shareing a bed and sharing a room with my parents and the two dogs. All we had was a cooler and the food from the burger king in the parking lot next to us, plus the neighborhood was sketchy enough that I didn't like going outside. I basicly sat on the hotel bed for two months strait, and when we finally got back to my grandparents house, I had gained 10 pounds.
So after realizing that was ridiculously close to 300lbs., the weight my mother had been at for 12 years, resulting in severely disabling back trauma*two crushed discs* and a near constant deppression, I decided that there was no more. No more weight gain, no more sitting around doing nothing, no more eating when I get upset or bored. I'm done, I'm tired of the weight and I'm losing 100lbs. before the year is out. I don't care if I have to sware off chocolate for a few months, thats better than getting diabetes and never having it again.
So, I'm going to use this thread to keep myself strong and resolute about this, even when things get rough again. I will reach my goal of 170lbs. before new years day.
BIG GOAL:
Be 170lbs by the end of this year; 243 days from now.
Short term goals:
Lose 30lbs every ten weeks, the first marker being 240lbs by July 12th.
Lose 3+ pounds every week until I reach my goal:
---
Rules:
No pop unless I eat out.
ABSOLUTLEY NO touching the scale until the end of each week. I'll drive myself mad.
Feed myself. No starvation, no avoiding food if I'm actually hungry.
No binge eating. I get a cookie craving, without being hungry, i do something else.
No filling boredom and/or emotions with sweets.
Cut down on the sweets. Limit to once or twice a week if that.
Cook more actual meals to cut down on convenience food.
CARROTS, APPLES, BROCCOLI, BRUSSEL SPROUTS< all the goodness I enjoy as much as possible.
