What am I thinking? I'm thinking,I do want to lose weight quickly. The onset of my obesity happened within 3 months of returning from the Navy in 2007. I gained 10 lbs a month for six months. So, I gained at a rate of about 2.3 lbs a week.

I'm a crazy chick, because I like to see more loss. Yup, even with all this water, I realize that my initial shedding was probably water weight; however, wow. I lost 10 lbs my first week. If I could do that regularly...

So I'm exercising a lot and eating a lot fewer calories. That's supposedly unhealthy, but the thing I don't get about it is this: why? I mean, I'm probably getting more nutrition this way than I was before. How am I hurting myself any worse than I was before?

So, I think I could lose about 3 lbs a week.

I changed my goal to 135 lbs. I think I weighed that much in high school...at some point. I gained to about 155 by 21, then went to boot camp, dropped to a muscular 143, then up and down I went from there until I had my first child. I went up to 206 w/ pregnancy, then dropped down to 145 in the year.

From then, I went as high as 165, eating what I wanted, but exercising to get back into military regulations.

Well, sodas and fast food aren't good for you. I always liked healthy foods: baked foods, veggies and fruity desserts. I just got lazy a few too many times.

With all that said, I know the rules. The rules say you should set a "reasonable" goal. I think 135 is reachable. I know how I'm supposed to eat now. I think I can do it. The hardest part is dipping below the maintenance level to drop the weight.

My mom says she sees me at about 165 lbs. She'd think I was a nut to consider 135. Why, I'm just too old. Bodies change. I'm not a spring chicken any more. I'm 33, I should be fat by now.

I'm 33 and pretty healthy. I admit, I did smoke for a few years. I quit. I quit doing that, and it took me a few times to learn how to not start doing it again. Just don't. That's all. and it's the same for eating and weight.

No tricks or magic pills (although, with smoking, there are some pills that help). You just get going, you keep up with it, and stay positive.

I don't know why I should be so destined to be nothing lower than 135, nor should anyone who feels the desire to lose weight. I don't feel comfortable at this weight, and I didn't feel comfortable at 145, or 155.

I feel like a 135 lb woman. I'm usually shocked when I see myself in a photograph or in the mirror. Lots of thirty somethings are that weight. I'm not even 5'5. Not even. I thought I was, but I was a quarter inch shy. Sigh, all this time I was wrong.

So anyway, I want to be 135 lb. I want to wear about a 7/8. I want to be healthy and mobile. And...my mom's voice is there, but I can put it on mute. She'll break out the pierogis, the cheesy potatos, and if she gets the ability or money, the 4000 calorie subs. I can resist all that. I really can.

In fact, I feel as though I've been lied to as far as how hard it is to eat like a normal person.

I've learned one thing, though, and that's that I will probably have to log my calories until I reach my goal weight. and then, any time I go above 5 lbs of it, I'll have to start logging them again.

I did "The Firm" fat blasting workout today. I love workout videos! They get me all excited to exercise. I don't like gyms.
