Well, I decided it was time for my to create a journal so I can become accountable for my own actions! By having this journal I can keep a record of my food intake, physical activity completed, and also have inspiration. Therefore, I am opening this to the public - I would like to be inspired to achieve my goal and be the best I can be.

I am currently a College Student. I am going to College to become an Elementary Educator, it has always been a dream of mine - since the early age of seven to be exact. I have always struggled with self-esteem issues: the way I look, the way I act, and what others will think about me has always placed value in my head. It was until recently that I understood it doesn't matter what others think!

Let people talk, let people laugh, let people point! It just doesn't matter. However, recently I decided to start a diet. A diet not to please others, but a diet to please myself. This diet is to get healthy and remain that way for me! Therefore, about seven months ago I began my journey and lost a major amount of weight. I went from being an extreme to being a slinder. However, I am now at a phase where I am starting not to care anymore. I tend to eat more and more and I am afraid all that weight I lost will come back.

I am hoping to get support. I am now at my target weight, but I know if I keep going on the path I am going - I will not be there much longer. So, with all that said - let's Speak Reality!

Day 1 - 9:08 A.M.
["Is it Over?"]

I got an early start to my day this morning. I woke up around 6, took a shower, and out the door I was by 6:45! I am currently sitting in the University Computer Commons awaiting the start of my class which isn't scheduled until the next 40 minutes. Anyway, we [in Daytona Beach] felt that tropical storm last night. Daytona Beach is on the east coast of Florida; however, we had tons of rains, and some heavy winds. This morning it stated there was a 100% change of rain today [because of the storm]; however, I have yet to see the rain. It seems rather calm to be exact - it is almost strange. I haven't eaten anything as of yet. I did drink two bottles of water - 20 ounces each. In the mornings, I drink alot of water for some reason, but when I eat large amounts, I tend to get rather sick. I am planning on getting something once I get out of class though. I am so anxious for my Disney Trip [29 days!] The anxiety has literally made me addicted to the internet and the boards. I just cant get offline for anything! Anyway, I better be off.

Food Intake: N/A
Water Intake: 40 FL Ounches

Hi Chris,

You really do want to stick with it. What is getting in the way at the moment? You are young...and at goal...? Yes? Tell me about where you are.

I myself have been thin and heavy...and I can tell you "heavy" comes with a big price.

I am at the present moment trying to get over a plateau...and the good news is, after 2 weeks...I think I am well on my way.

You're at goal, Chris! Keep reminding yourself of how far you've come, how much better you feel, look, etc. Maybe keep a 'before' pic somewhere to help remind yourself or your 'big' pants. You can stay this way!!

Have a great week! Enjoy life! You're young, & college is the fun time(I'm 45, and looking back, I should have taken time to enjoy it more!)

Almost WDW time, too! Thin is IN!!!
