My journey begins now.
Today is Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Apparently it's Flag Day. Not that it matters.
Today I weigh 230 pounds. I've never been this heavy in my life. None of the pants that I own fit me. I have two pairs of shorts that kind of fit me, but are tight. This is unacceptable.
I think the lowest I've ever weighed was 180 pounds. That's my first goal weight. I don't know how long it will take me to get there. However, I do have a plan.
I'm moving out of Hagerstown (where I've been for the past year or so) this weekend. I've gained at least 30 pounds in the past year.
Depression, working 2nd shift and thus not being able to spend time with anyone, and having to scavenge for food at my parents' house have all helped to pack on the pounds. Also, I haven't been walking as often as I used to, since I didn't have anyone to walk with, or anything like that. I haven't exercised, and I haven't been eating well. My diet sucks here in Hagerstown. It includes what I can afford, and what my parents have in the freezer/pantry. Not healthy.
My boyfriend is a vegetarian. When I spend weekends with him, I walk a lot (we walk to the lake near his house, around the lake, and back... or we go into DC or various other places), I eat SO MUCH HEALTHIER FOOD, and I'm less depressed. My mother doesn't understand why I'm moving out. I'm sad and tired of being so far away from everyone I want to spend time with. I miss my boyfriend throughout the week. I want to be with him. It's easier to sleep when I'm next to him, instead of an hour and a half away. At least I have snuggles with my cats in Hagerstown. But boyfriend snuggles are so much better.
I'll post updates when I think about it, or reach a milestone. I won't have my own computer for a while, since my old one is broken and I'm poor. However, after I make some monies at my new job(s), I'll get one. Otherwise, I'll borrow my boyfriend's laptop from time to time.
See you on the flip side.
