Losing Weight, Pre-Day-1

Weight is +30 and I am trying to lose it now.
My small goal is to lose 10 pounds by July 4th. My anniversary and my friends wedding where EVERYONE and their mothers will be there.
Is it feasible? I hope so.

tommorow I plan to: work out for 60 minutes....step...walk on treadmill.... for breakfast, a strawberry/banana milkshake...... for lunch a lean cuisine meal and for dinner, a salsa sandwhich baked in a sandwhich maker with a cup of tea.... yummmy.....oh yeah and all the fruits and veggies my little heart desires.......

Currently 161........

Losing Weight

I lost 30 pounds before I got married. Two years later- all back. I feel disappointment, and I dont know how to lose it again. Each time I look in the mirror I realize I really have disappointed myself. I worked so hard and now its all in vain. I have a wedding to go to in a month, and its also my anniversary that same weekend. I want to look as good as before, but I can't lose 30 pounds in a month can I?

The worst part is shame. Feeling shame infront of family and friends. We live in a society that judges us by our looks. when I was thin- I know the looks I got. Now I feel like a nothing. A shapeless, sexless person worthy of nobody's desire.... it's a horrible way to feel day in day out...

so i guess the question is....why do i do it? Why do I continue to let myself be this way? I know that I can change the way I am. Its in my control....... yet I consciously eat the trail mix nuts....consciously eat the fried burger..... find a billion and half excuses not to work out.....

I want to change, but I wish I knew what inside of me prevents me from reaching a goal entirely in my hands?

Am I scared to be sexy again?
Am I more comfortable with fat?
Do i like food more than my desire to look good?
Do I think I deserve to feel badly about myself for all time?

Haven't figured out these answeres yet.

But as I did a week ago, and two weeks, and each week for the past year.... tommorow is a new day and I will begin my diet.
