Progress

[quixoticgirl]

I've been trying to improve myself lately. People who know me have probably noticed some of the changes, but sometimes it's harder for me to see the changes in MYSELF, so I decided that today I would sit down and try to see for myself how far I've really come

That's awesome Becky! Congrats! I'm pretty much in the same situation that you were, so I'm trying to figure out ways that I can lose weight when my pain disorder in my foot makes it impossible for me to exercise. I definitely couldn't do the vegan thing like you though, I'm too much of a carnivore to be able to handle that. =P

But yeah, its scary how quickly your weight can balloon up if you're not careful. The six months before I went to WSU and then developed my pain disorder, I had lost 25 pounds and was about 10 pounds away from my high school weight of 150. But that of course all went downhill really quick. I think school has been the biggest issue. Since my school schedule is always so intense, its hard to find the time to be able to eat healthy. And I have to pull so many all nighters all the time, and one of the only ways I can get through an all nighter is by snacking. So you add up three years of that, plus not being able to exercise at all, and hello 240 pounds! I can't even stand to see any recent pictures of myself, because when I look in the mirror I definitely don't see myself as being that heavy, so seeing it in pictures is like a smack in the face. I think I've at least stabilized with my weight over the past few months (although with the insanity that has been the last month of the quarter, its entirely possible that I've started gaining again). I really need to dig out a scale one of these days and see. I'm hoping that after this quarter is over, I can figure out some sort of diet. I only have one class next quarter, and I think from here on out I won't ever have a full load. So hopefully that will help with the stress eating and help me get adjusted to a diet.

Keep up the good work! You look awesome, by the way! Oh, and of course the shirt is awesome too. ;)
