Weight Loss Update: #epicfail

Well it has been 2 months since I started my inspired attempt at shedding the extra pounds that I gained since starting college in 2006. I was doing good for a couple weeks. But I have had a problem with public enemy #1: hunger! At first I thought it was just a mental thing, because I was following my diet of eating 400 calories per meal, but then I did an experiment, where I start eating the same as I was before and the same thing happened; less than an hour after eating, I'm starving as if I haven't eaten the entire day. That's not good. I was making myself go to sleep, to keep me from over eating. Well I going to the doctor on the 12th to make sure everything is OK, before I decide to get on appetite suppressants or getting the lap band. That is the extreme for me but I want to see what my other options are. I just want to be healthy. I'm going to be 22 in a couple of week and I'm already out of breath from just walking. Trust! I don't want heart disease of any other health problem from something I can prevent so I going to get that taken care of. I will keep you posted my luvs!

Update: My weightloss journey

I wanted to speak on my journey to a healthier me. You guys this is hard! For the most part I have been monitoring my calorie intake but I have my days when I slip up.

 For those who don't know, I'm really doing a all over lifestyle make-over and for an overly emotional person such as myself (yes, I'm a cancer) it can take a big toll. Not only am I trying to lose a few pounds but, I'm going natural and getting my life together spiritually. Whew.... that's a lot for one person to take on, on top of summer classes and work.

 I'm trying to cleanse myself of society's ideas and standards of beauty and embrace the body God has blessed me with in it's natural form. It's funny because, when I was a senior in high school on to my freshman year of college, I really thought I was huge. Well 3 years and  31 pounds later, I really would just love to get back to that size. I know we are to embrace our body for what it is, but I am unhealthy and this weight doesn't look natural on me. I have never been skinny a day in my life but at 186 I was healthier and my curves fit the rest of my body.

I'm currently trying to eat 3 times a day eating 400 calories per meal. I purchased The 400 Calorie Fix from Prevention. The meals are full filling when I'm eating them, but less than an hour later, I'm starving. Now the irony here, is that if I were to eat something totally high in calories, like Popeye's chicken and a biscuit, I can eat once a day and not be hungry for the rest of the day. Now that's not healthy because you have to eat multiple small meals in a day to jump start your metabolism. If I could only control my hunger, everything would be great! But I will continue to push because I am truly determined to reach my goals.

My new love!!!!! McDonald's Parfaits :-)

So like last week I started changing my eating habits. But these last couple of days I had fallen off.....eating thing that I really shouldn't. But I got back on track today. I stopped at Micky D's and got my favorite Mc Chicken sandwich but instead of the fries I got a side salad....but I really wanted I hot fudge and carmel sundae (and is hot today too:-)). I have tasted the parfait years ago when it first came out, but frat brother had one yesterday and was going on about how good it was. So I follow the little angel on my shoulder and order the parfait instead, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!. I think this will be my little treat for the summer. On top of that if was only $1! HA! You know that's right up my alley!
