I hung out with some random older people thAt I haven't hung out with in a long time. This one girl is super cool. Unique, quirky, I love her. She doesnt seem like one to care about her weight but she does like working out and being healthy. I gess she recently decided to lose weight like three weeks ago. She bought this app called my fitness pal and so far lost 7 pounds. She keeps track of her calories and all that. Out of curiosity I downloaded the app. The thing said I needed to eat like 1200 a day. And I was like are u flipping kidding me? That's so high! But I just tried it for one day. I tried to eat like a normal person. I felt sooooooo good! And it made me think twice about my decisions. Normally I would have a day of starvation, followed by a bing and purge, then a day of not caring, and the cycle would continue. And to top it all off, I'd feel like shit, id be killing myself, and I was starting to gain weight. My metabolism is so messed up. So I think this new app way will really work. I want a normal metabolism again. Then I accidentally went like 200 cals over so at like 9:00 tonight I wentto the gym. It was really fun. Good way to end my day. I normally would have just binged and purged at target or something. I really like this!!!! Ok so I'll keep u posted how this works.
Why am I not scared you may ask? I'm not scared because I'm ready to be healthy again and I don't want to kill myself and I want to have energy and following this strict calorie plan on this app still allows me to have the control that I need. I love it. I'm sure this is the OCD part of me talking right now, I've only used this thing for less then a day but I hope and pray that it works and that I can stick with it.
Good for you girl, you mAy gain a little before you lose, but being healthy is good!!! I've heard about that app, I saw it on my calorie counting site. You go girl!!
ReplyDeletei have that app too! i'm like addicted to it lol. but i usually either go way under or way over my limit >.< I'm so glad ur going the healthy route! Weight loss will be slower but you'll actually keep it off which is so much better:) I calculated and since the time I started dieting I've lost the same amount of weight as if I'd just stuck to a 1300 calorie diet with a 1/2 lb loss per week. but w/o all the pain and emotional trauma. Gud job on beating the extra cals w/ exercise! So seriously u r so strong for aiming toward being healthy...keep it up<3
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I have that app! I love it! goodluck with the new gameplan! <3 you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI don't have the app but gymnast, I always love reading your blogs and seeing what your up to. You seem very similar to me. I hope you suceed in your weight loss, and I wish you all sorts of happiness in your life.
