Diet

I've been on this new diet lately. The thing that got me started on this diet was about 2 months ago when I went to the doctors for a checkup. When they weighed me, I was at 290 lbs. When I saw that I completely freaked out. I don't mind being overweight, but I do mind being over 300 lbs. When I noticed how close I was to 300 lbs, I decided that I had to do something about it immediately. So I first started out going to the gym with my roommate arik but I couldn't keep waiting for him to go to the gym. He told me that I should try going to the gym on my own. I thought about it and I just couldn't get myself to go by myself. So I decided I could loose weight by trying to eat less and eat healthier. So I've been eating less often, also my food portions are smaller. Also, I use salads as filler now if I'm still hungry instead of getting like mashed potatoes or another fattening side dish. When I went home over the weekend, I weighed myself for the first time in a month. I had dropped 23 lbs. I was so freaking happy. I didn't notice anything and nobody else noticed either. But when I saw that scale, I was definitely feeling good about myself. Now that I know that the diet is working well, I'm going to become even more strict with it. Towards the end of last week I was beginning to slack off in my diet. Starting to eat more and more often. Well good thing that I weighed myself so now I'm back on track. Hopefully I can get below 250 lbs. Then I will be satisfied.
