Hey world. My name is Whitney. My mom died last year in April, and since then I have gained 20 pounds. Gaining weight so fast has put a real damper on the way I feel when I look in the mirror and try on clothes. I’m usually a pretty confident girl, but it’s hard when I look so bad in skinny jeans. Anyway, for the past 3 weeks I have been trying to go on a short run or a long walk with my dog every day as well as ride my bike everywhere I go. So far, there have been no results. I seem to be maintaining my weight, which is better than gaining, but not exactly what I want. It really sucks that I’m putting all of this effort in and not seeing anything happen. I know I eat a lot, but I’m having a hard time stopping. I babysit Monday-Thursday and their house is filled with delicious snacks. I think that could possibly be my biggest problem area [as well as eating out. I love eating out…]
Last Thursday, my roommate and I made weight loss charts and posted them on the wall. It kind of sucks because she’s eating less than 1000 calories a day and working out a lot harder than I am. I wish I had that kind of motivation, but I’m having a hard enough time as it is. I’m really hoping I can get these pounds off by the end of the summer so that I can get some confidence back in my body and start feeling good about myself.
Thanks for reading,
Whitney
