Woah! After like a year and a half I finally went back to school and I love it so much! I am in love with my major, my schedule could get a little bit crazy, but I know it’s going to be super worth it. 

I am still trying to figure out a workout schedule and what to do for meals. I could go to my school’s rec center, but it’s always so crazy in there, and, I’m not even going to lie, I don’t know how I feel about exercising with guys around me. My regular gym is an all women gym and the environment is definitely really comfortable. I am really hoping that by the end of this year I will be able to just go in there whenever I want and not care who’s there or who isn’t there.

When it comes to meals, I have no idea what to take for lunch. I take tons of fruit with me, but that’s about it. I’m not a very big fan of sandwiches, and I just don’t have imagination for meals lately, which is really weird.

Anyways, I should really get back to doing homework, yes, I already have quite a bit of work to do, but hey! 3 day weekend! :D

I posted the “before and after” picture on facebook, and the response it’s gotten is CRAZY!! It has over 50 comments and over 100 likes, I was not expecting that at all!

It has been a very overwhelming day and I was very anxious through most of it. My heart rate was crazy, but a shower & prayer made me feel better.

Well, now I’m gonna go hangout with my lovely friends and play Set xD

Tomorrow is going to be one year since I started on this journey!! I am so excited to weight myself and to post a before and after picture.

I know I haven’t been posting much in the past few months, but I want to thank all of you who have stayed. 

This year is going to be awesome & hopefully I will get to my ultimate weight goal :D

And, by the way, Happy New Year to all of you beautiful people of Tumblr! I hope your reach or your goals and never give up :D  

I know I haven’t updated it in a long time, but my schedule has changed completely in the past two months, but I have been trying to keep up with a healthier lifestyle. And, even though it’s going slower, it’s still going and that’s pretty much what matters to me, so I figured I should probably update my stats.

Start Weight: 286.8 lbs
Last weight in: 228.0 lbs 
Loss since then: -9.0 lbs
Current weight: 219.0 lbs
Total loss: -67.8 lbs

I am 9 lbs away from getting to my third goal! yay!

I have been surviving off of Cheerios/milk & peanut butter sandwiches. I feel so…American xD

Also, my best friend Aaron got me this mug yesterday and I love it, because it pretty much summarizes our relationship & also because it’s the perfect size to have a healthy serving of cereal and milk :D

Giving up…giving up was the only thought I had in my head on Sunday night. I was just so ready to give it all up. I was tired of always trying to watch what I eat, or when I go out having to say no to random foods because I don’t know how many points they would be, etc. I was just so tired of counting points and of always having to have an excuse for not eating some foods everybody eats (it’s kind of my fault, but i’m very secretive about my weight loss journey & I really need to work on not doing that anymore)

But, anyways, Sunday night, I was just going mad and cried myself to sleep, it was just terrible, but I knew I just couldn’t give up. So I started praying and asking God to give me the strength (physically, emotionally & spiritually) to keep going, and the verse that kept coming up to me was “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14) and automatically remembered that I DON’T give up, I keep going even if it’s the last thing I do.

He has given me the victory in so many things, and I know that with His help I can accomplish my goals. And I just can’t give up now, I can’t, I’ve lost nearly 60 pounds, and there’s NO way I’m gaining them back, if anything, I’m going to lose another 60, because “I can do all things through Christ who strengths me” :D

I also think it was kind of random I felt like giving up on Sunday, when on Saturday I had an awesome NSV. I can now fit into size 16 pants, and I have never been able to do that before (well, not in my adult life) and I also bought shirts that actually fit me instead of buying bigger sizes, and I’m feeling a lot more confident.

Oh! back to giving up, on Monday morning I woke up at 5:45 and went back to the gym, after like a month of just exercising at home (sometimes). It felt awesome to go back & a lady that I see there all the time told me that my clothes were falling off me, and it made me realize that I’m really not into giving up :D
