Weight Loss Woes
So, I've been trying to get into the Marines, and I have to lose a certain amount of weight. I was told I needed to be 163 pounds in order to begin the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) and went to Houston to swear in. When I got there, they told me I actually needed to be 157 pounds and that I basically failed their test.
I hate to say it, but I was so upset at my circumstances that I started overeating. I mean, I'd worked so hard and they told me I still wasn't good enough! Anyway, in that one week afterwards, I managed to go from 164 to 169. I'm absolutely ashamed of myself, but I have no one to blame but me. I should have just kept working out and focused on my goal, NOT let myself become discouraged.
But I've started to pull myself together now. I've started working out again and have limited my eating back to normal levels. Thankfully I haven't destroyed myself yet and still have time to get down to where I need to be.
I just pray the the Lord gives me the strength I need to succeed, because I seriously doubt I can do this on my own.
