I'll keep you my dirty little secret...
Before I begin, I am known as KaiYin. I am 5'3" and I currently weigh 140 pounds. I weighed about 147 pounds before I started this diet, and have been exercising since August. Exercising wasn't a huge problem in the summer, since I had the time to exercise almost every day. Now that school has started though, I have a big problem: procrastination. I keep putting off my homework and therefore "don't have time" to go to the gym. I'm working on trying to make this better, though!
As for my diet, I have a difficult time sticking to healthy foods. My main problem is that I love carbs. Cookies, cakes, pastries, doughnuts, anything that has to do with carbs, I love. I've been doing my best to eat healthy carbs, like whole grain bread and cereals, but the school cafeteria is so tempting with its fresh baked cookies and pastries. I know that I have to stick to a diet if I want to lose weight at a rate faster than I currently am though.
...don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret.

I'll keep you my dirty little secret...
So, why is it that I want to lose weight, aside from the reasons listed above? I tend to gain weight evenly all over my body, so I hide my chubbiness under my clothes, and most people assume that I'm average weight. I thought that I was average weight until I realized how skinny the other girls were. To top it off, I am Asian, and all the other Asian girls were much thinner than me. Why? Because they didn't eat a ton of food like I did. I remember coming to school with lunch, eating it, and then buying lunch on top of that! I forced myself to learn that just because I could eat more doesn't mean that I should.
I discovered that I was mixing up the feeling of hunger with the feeling of thirst. When I drank more water, I ate less, and felt better. Water became my best friend.
Patting greasy foods was also something I had never thought of. I learned from a thread in the LD that by using a napkin to pat the excess oil of oily foods like pizza, fries and burger patties, I could save on calories that I didn't taste very much anyway. Plus, who knew that vegetables were so low in calories? I sure didn't. I began eating more carrots, beans and celery instead of cookies and chips. (Although I still eat quite a lot of cookies ... sweatdrop ) Then there was yogurt. I used to love eating ice cream, but when I saw how delicious yogurt was at a much lower calorie amount, I switched over immediately.
Realizing how high in calories some food were, I managed to almost completely give up chocolate, candy, burgers and chips. I still struggle at not eating fries, cookies, cake, doughnuts and pastries, but I try to eat them in moderation, instead of eating a lot of them.
...don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret.
