Last week I started a pretty serious diet. Its the slim fast diet, and I'm taking in 1,000 calories or less a day plus daily exercise. It's only been for days but I feel a little bit better. I can't report my weight- our scale ran out of batteries weeks ago and I haven't replaced them. That's okay though, keeps me from obsessing over a number.
Usually changes like this are short lived because of my own failure, but I feel confident so far.
The only struggle I'm having right now is other people. Many of my friends are significantly smaller than me, both in height and weight, and don't seem to understand why I'm dieting. Mocking me, tempting me with food, telling me I don't need to diet... these things are not helpful. It doesn't matter of I say something, they just don't get that their words and actions hurt. Encouragement is what I need.
My goal is not to drop a ton of weight, a dress size at most. I want to like myself again. I want to feel comfortable in a bathing suit in Hawaii this summer.
So wish me luck and encouragement, I'm on day 4 of 90.
