I can do this
My Motivation: I'm sick of constantly worrying what other people think of my body and appearance.
I'm sick of avoiding strenuous activities that I want to do because I don't want anyone to see how much I struggle to keep up.
I want to be able to relax. I want to be able to do anything I want, with anyone I want, whenever I want. I want to stop being so insecure.
Calorie Goals: My BMR is 1500. I am completely sedentary, so that's another 300 calories, 1800 total out every day. To lose 1 pound per week, I need a deficit of 500 calories. My limit is 1300 calories per day before exercise.
Food: I need to eat breakfast every morning. I need to eat more vegetables and fruits. I need to stop drinking soda, coffee, eating chips, pretzles, candy, cookies, etc. I need to stop eating anything and everything Sarah or mom make for dinner.
Exercise: I need to get back in the habit of working out every day. I need to do both cardio and strength training. I want to start running every day. http://www.stumptuous.com/weights.html
Positive Thoughts: It took a long time to gain this weight, and it will take a long time to lose it. That doesn't mean I should give up. It will take time, but it will be worth it. People in worse shape than me have lost more than I need to lose. This is very possible.
