Sooo, I'm exhausted. I'm still gymming it like crazyyy. I've been waking up early monday wednesday friday to make it to the gym before my first class. Then Tues, Thurs I go evenings. Saturday and Sunday I fit it wherever I can. The hardest part is always getting there. I'm pretty good about staying for at least an hour. It doesn't hurt that there's a few hotties there. There's this one guy that goes to my gym, he looks EXACTLY like Robert Pattinson. Except with cleaner hair. It's crazy. But totally a motivator to get to the gym.
Anyways, this morning I stepped on the scale for the first time in months. I figured, I need to know just how much work I need to do. And the results....232. Definitely higher than it's ever been. But then again, three weeks ago it was probably around 240...so I can't complain. I just need to use that number to get me to the gym, and to get food out of my mouth. I'm going to set my first goal at 215. Once I reach that, I'll bump it down to 200, and keep going like that. Because my ultimate goal of 130 seems very, very far away right now. I'm proud of myself though, because I've done really well going to the gym every day. Even though I HATE getting up early, I've been forcing myself to. And that says a lot.
I like going to the gym. It's interesting, because everyone at the gym wants to improve their body, or else they wouldn't be there. And it's funny to see that even "skinny" people go to the gym, running miles, unhappy about their body. I've learned a lot about sports at the gym, just because my favorite calorie burning machines (the arc trainerssss) are right below the tv playing ESPN. Ladies, it's more interesting than you'd think.
So, my next goal to try on top of the whole gym thing, is to cut out soda COMPLETELY this week. It's going to be rough. I'm used to running on caffeine (I'm a college kid, what can you expect?). No more mountain dew code red for me.
Anywaysss, time for sleep. I woke up early to go to the gym, went to classes, then went to work until 10:30 pm. Time to catch some zzz's.

Society Sucks
Today, I was lazily facebook stalking some classmates, when I came across a friend of mine (who is a male, btw) who became a fan of a page called, "You're fat, why do you dress like you're skinny?" I was immediately offended. Being quite overweight myself, I was disgusted in the fact that someone thinks a comment like that is acceptable. As if there are certain clothes that only a "skinny" girl can wear. I was especially offended because I like to dress cute. I have never used my weight as an excuse to be unfashionable. Sure, I could never pull off a bikini, but I love to look nice: it's a total confidence booster. I may not have my weight under control, but I can put together a nice outfit.
I don't understand Society's obsession with fat people. It's like because I'm overweight, everyone thinks it's okay to judge me and label me as a "fat girl". Weight is an extremely personal issue to young women and it's not right for media to portray it as a "societal issue". The real societal issue is society's obsession with weight. No one can change my weight but me, so butt out and let me do this by myself, without your input.
Anyways, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Sara, I'm 18, and I'm fat. Always have been. The last time I weighed myself, I was about 220 lbs. This was a while ago and I'm positive I've gained weight since then, but I'm afraid to step back on the scale. About two weeks ago, I decided it was time to give this whole weight loss thing another go. I've been going to the gym at least 6 days a week for at least an hour each day. I've been trying to watch what I eat, drink more water, and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Making these changes isn't the hard part. The hard part is waiting for the results.
I decided to start this blog for a few reasons:
1)To motivate me to keep this whole healthy lifestyle thing up.
2)To reach out and inspire other young women who may be in the same position
and
3)To give everyone an inside look at the trials of weight loss.
