Broke my two-day pleateau! 178.6!

Weighed in today and I’ve lost 7 pounds in 8 days. See, doing it the healthy way pays off!

I ate terrible today. Plus, it was my off day. Ugh, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Today I weighed in at 181.4!

I’ve only lost .2 pounds, but these past two days have been terrible. I’ve been eating terrible and the lowest i weighed in at was 182.6. I was feeling terrible about myself, but I kept up with my diet and now I’m back down! My goal was to get into the 170s by tomorrow. We will see.

Everytime I work out, I’m motivated by the thought of walking past my crush thirty pounds lighter and watching his eyes follow me and think, “Wow, I could have had that.”

Weighed in today at 182.6

I’ve gained a pound, but it’s only been 24 hours so I’m thinking it water weight. I ate terribly yesterday though. Ugh, and we’re going to Dave and Busters today and literally nothing but salad is less than 1000 calories on their menu.

Ugh, I feel horrible. Today I’ve probably eaten 1500-1700 calories. I had a quater of the bag of jelly beans in my purse from a couple of weeks ago and I finished them and I wasn’t really that hungry but I had bread sticks from Pizza Hut. I worked out, but ugh.

Weigh In: 181.6!

Ahhh! 1.6 pounds till I’m in the 170s!

Unpopular Opinion.

My weightloss started once I came back home from school for two weeks. My cousin and I have been watching what we eat and exercising everyday. So far, I’ve lost about 4 and a half pounds and I’m starting to notice a difference. The first day after weight loss, I knew that losing weight wouldn’t be the only thing that needed to change for me to be “marketable” on the dating scene. We went to Barnes and Noble and I bought the self-help book, “Why Men Love Bitches.” I knew I didn’t want a sappy one, so I figured buying this one would whip me into dating shape.

Today I was sitting in the mall food court eating with my cousin and her best friend who is also losing weight, he’s lost about 50 pounds since February. We all have been overweight since childhood and haven’t had much luck on the dating scene.

We started talking about weight loss and my book and I was explaining how most relationship books say everyone is beautiful regardless of the outside and everyone can find the person of their dreams. In Why Men Loves Bitches, the author states that you need to look your best. It’s called the dating “market” for the reason and men are going to pick the shiniest car (I’m not objectifying women, I’m simply using a metaphor) on the inside and outside.

I said, that part of my reason for losing weight was that finding a husband and settling down is creeping up fast and I don’t want to settle. I’ve seen the men on my level and I don’t want them. I like the guys that I like and most of them aren’t on my “marketability” level. I thought I was being realistic, but they both had shocked looks on their faces.

My cousin’s best friend said that I was bringing myself down and that I needed confidence in myself to find a man and that lecture about confidence is sexy, he’s a gay man so I take his advice with a grain of salt. Anyhow, I can’t seem to figure out if I’m being self concise or am really being realistic. The guys I’m looking for aren’t going to marry someone overweight. I am losing weight for myself, but I also want to find a husband that exceeds my standards, not barely makes them.

Does anyone agree?
