Dieting is really hard for me! I guess I have low self-discipline, but I don't think that should be a life sentence -- I WANT to lose weight! I gained about 20 pounds in the last year, and that makes me feel really bad, and I obsess about it in my head all the time. It's all I ever think about. I want to look better, and feel better. I want clothes to fit better on me.
I don't eat a lot of fast food, or chips or random snacks. My weaknesses are pasta, potatoes, and emotional eating. Stress makes me reach for food, and no matter what I tell myself about how it'll make me gain even more weight, I still eat it and it makes me feel better for a short time right before I feel like crap again.
I go through phases with my eating/dieting. I'll get to a certain point when I feel really invigorated and motivated to diet (like right now, after just registering for this site) but I inevitably always decline.
Starting in January, I've started going to my college campus's rec center and working out after classes. It makes me exhausted, and hungry, but I do it because I'm already on campus. I've tried over the last couple of months to go 3-4 times a week and do the elliptical for 30 minutes. I haven't seen any results :-( probably because my eating habits haven't really changed.
But honestly, I absolutely love vegetables and fruits, and can live off of them. I haven't eaten red meat in over 7 years (traumatic experience) but I do eat chicken on occasion.
I'm also in school or work everyday, and I find myself lazy to bring food from home to eat between classes. I either worry about food spoiling, or feel lazy about preparing it beforehand. I know, it's a pitiful excuse but it's the truth. Maybe I just don't know what to pack?? I need to find some easy and relatively cheap "snacks" to bring with me...
Anyways, my first experience with FatSecret has been pretty positive: I now a little more about how many calories I consumed today (and I don't usually count calories, so I plan to keep up with it) and I have a goal to maintain!
I hope to continue working out and maybe come up with some new upper-body exercises, and maybe do some Wii Fit with my younger brother!
