Messy College Life + Cosplay + Diet = Chaos
It's 5:45AM - Beautiful time to get a work-in, no?
Unfortunately I figured I'd get a post in before I dash out the door to class or rather on my hour-long bus trip to get there, simply on time. I recently started College and while I'm a little older than most, 22, it's been one hectic change, albeit it's a nice one. C: Seeing as no matter what I'm constantly busy with something new everyday.
Still. There is one small aspect of my life I was hoping to change with all that was going on.
My weight. Well, it's been something of an issue for awhile now, I've had my high's 297's and my low's 270's, but I never managed to get past that all. So rather than wait for some defining point in my life to hit me, it's slowly been creeping up at me that hey, I got to do something. I need to make a lifestyle change if I want to get anywhere with it.
It's not just about physical appearance for me, it's the mental thought that sometimes I feel like I have no self-control and discipline. Or that others look at me a different way and assume unrighteously that I'm just a fat tard. Haha, but it's okay, this isn't a post about me being whiny + crying. I usually take things in stride and humor and have to agree, if I want to get anywhere, it's because I need to crunch some numbers and do some research!
So I have. And I've joined up with a free forum -thingy, called spark-people that helps me track my goals, nutrition and keep me well rounded and aware of the numbers I'm consuming. And well, even on my days when I thought I've been good, I haven't been -as- good as I'd like.
Why? Because my college lecture hours sometimes run in at four hours at a time, but! That's where I learned that healthy snacks are okay and generally my teachers don't mind/bitch if I do. If it's something delicious they just want 50% { Lol. }
So what's the cosplay deal?
Well that there is a personal motivator and while I'm pretty sure I'll come back to edit this post e.e.. Cosplay has been something I wanted to do for a long time, but felt like my weight has held me back from making a complete fool out of myself. So! I'm hoping that from here till now to the AX that I'll have lost some significant weight. I'm not going to do anything drastic, but just put in the hours of exercise + daily food journals.
~ And while I admit that I'm aware that beauty is at every size, I am simply doing this for me, because I'm -worth- it and deserve it. And much more. C: ~ Follow me on my journey and join in, if you wish!
