Hot For Halloween! - July 17th


Have Reached 200 lbs! Thats a 10 lb loss in just 4 days! I'm so excited because I'm obv. on the right path again.

Theres a challenge going on called hot for Halloween. I think it will be even more motivation because I can just picture myself in a hot sexy costume! If I reach my 175 by Halloween, I'd like to go clubbing on Halloween! :) Cant wait!


Daily Eats:
July 17th
9am – cookie 200 cal
10am – veggie sandwich
crackers all day
4pm – 3 apples and banana and yogurt
9:30 – tomato soup, crackers, veggies
45 min walk
1:01am – yogurt and 2 bananas

Daily Notes:
I think what I want to do to prepare myself for my journey is to answer some questions. I need to find deeper meanings to why I am the way I am. Here are 7 questions to get done over the next week or so. You should do them too :)
-What are my eating habits and how have they contributed to my weight gain
-how much weight do I want to lose and why
-why have I gained my weight back and what will i do to get back to where I was
-what are my goals? Long term and short term
-what is my eating strategy and work out plan
-how did I feel when I was heavier compared to when I was slimmer
-What will I do to make sure I dont gain it back?

Also, I gotta stop buying these stupid delicious sandwiches from IGA. They cost me like 5 bucks each but they're sooo good! Once I buy another mini fridge (sold my old one couple weeks ago... now realizing I need it) I'l be able to store my own foods. I know it sounds weird but I have a huge germ issue and I refuse to store my food with other peoples even if its my own family lol

Daily Eats - July 16th

View POINT:
So because I've done this once before, I've decided that I should document everything alot better so I can look back later. I will document everything I eat during the day and at what time... and I also will state which exercise I've chosen to do. I will also state daily thoughts and stuff to do with my weight loss journey.
I can either state all my meals at the end of the week on Friday, or I can just do it daily. I'll decide later, but as for the last 2 days, I'll post them today below.

Daily Notes:
First day of healthy eating and I feel like I want to sleep now so that I can wake up and eat right away! I'm craving an avocado salad wrap sooo bad! instead I had yogurt and apples. I'm excited to go walking tomorrow too! I want to take daisy and go walking more often. I have so many ideas and things I want to try this time around. The most important thing is to stay on track with my walking and jogging every night for at least a half an hour and to eat my salad every day. I'm excited for things to stay planned out but yet I'm craving all these healthy foods that I used to eat!

Daily Notes: Need to buy headphones for my walks. Went for a really great walk to discovery trail with daisy today. It was about 45-50 mins of walking, which I really enjoyed! It was my first time going there. My outlook on my journey is different now. It feel like its time to transform. All this time I kept thinking to myself that I was unsure of if I was ready but now I know that I am. I can feel it and it feels almost like the last time I lost weight. I have that want, that crave. The one thing that I need to say over and over again to myself is that I need to be consist ant. I want to lose 33 lbs over the next 14 weeks. Thats 2 - 2.5 lbs a week and its totally do-able :) Finding it hard to get daisy to go for walks... she always tries to pull me back home :( Also proud of myself today because mum offered to buy me KFC but I declined :)

July 16th
9am – oatmeal
3pm – veggie sandwich
7:30 – 2 pieces of primo veggie pizza
10:30 – salad
1:30 – 3 apples 1 banana and yogurt
No exercise, but big mental break down.


Daily Notes: You know people dont view obesity as a root to addiction.People think 'why dont you just put down the burger or stop eating?' well... why dont you just put down to the smoke? Everyone has a different way of dealing with things. I'm not making excuses, I'm just trying to give you a different perspective. If it was that easy to let go of... why do you think so many people deal with this problem?
I was disappointed that I had pizza today but I did choose the two smallest pieces which basically equaled to one piece, so i was proud of that :) Had a huge mental break down today, cried for an hour.

Epiphany, the start 210 lbs - July 15th

Epiphany:
I believe that if you are embarking on a weight loss journey, you wont succeed if you dont truly want to lose the weight. You can say you want to lose weight, but doing it is another thing.

Last year while talking to a male friend, I told him about my struggles with weight loss. He thought very hard about the subject and then replied with, "It's your body... why dont you take care of it?" And thats what started the whole crave to want to lose weight. It just clicked, it made sense in a way that nothing had ever done before.

Now this time... it took 11 months, but it finally happened again. And trust me. I can tell when I have a serious epiphany. Up until these last 11 months, I've been doubting everything. I would eat healthy for a week and then binge on burgers and pizza. I kept saying to myself... "what if I'm not ready to lose weight?" and honestly, I wasn't. But then I had my second epiphany. I went to the mall and talked to a guy at a kiosk who was selling hair straighteners. He asked me how often I washed my hair. I replied with "every day!" ( I'm a huge germ-a-phobe and have to lol). And he replied with, you should wash it every 2-3 days you know... I then told him that I found that gross and he then said...
"Honey, it may be gross but its whats best for your hair. I go running and I eat healthy foods, I take care of myself because I need to. You just have to do it."
And at first I found it quite rude. I felt like I was being slapped by a gay guy with a straightener in hand. But later on I realized that the reason I disliked hearing what he said so much... was because it was true.

And so now I'm continuing my journey.
Starting weight: 210 lbs
Height: 5'5
First goal weight: 185
Second goal weight: 175
Ultimate goal weight: 150

Intro - July 14th

Background info:
Some of you may know me from youtube as Tishy205. Back in 2009 I lost 35 lbs! I was the skinniest I had ever been in my whole life. I was the same weight I was when I was in middle school (age 13th).
Things were going great until I went through a bad experience which left me with even lower self esteme then when I started with. Everything went down hill from there. I became depressed and un happy. Sometime after, I found my prince charming and that once again, turned everything around. Now even though I was already on the verge of gaining my weight back slowly, having my first boyfriend sped that up by 90%. I came to learn quickly that I can't eat like him or else I get fat lol. Although hes skinny, my body just cant handle that food.

So here I am... Narrating my story as I go along. My second attempt at getting rid of the excess weight.

Will you follow me? :)
