From Diet Blog Share: Today is the first day of the rest of my life, I tell myself this today as I walk for 2 hours along the path I’ve wanted to walk for months. I am 25 years old (tomorrow). I am 20 pounds over my ideal weight. I can’t even bring myself to type the numbers in this blog. Dieting is nothing new to me. I’ve gone up and down for the past few years. But, now I find myself missing out in life due to the weight. I’ve always been aware of my weight, but never let it stand in my way. Until this summer, when I did not once wear shorts, capris, or a bikini. For a girl who loves summer and swimming this cannot be a good thing. I find myself sticking close to my workout clothing, rather than putting on jeans, because I am not comfortable in any clothing

anymore. I just can’t see myself living like this for the rest of my life. My workout habits are pretty steady. I go 4-6 times per week, and do 60 minutes of cardio. I do weights and stretching, just not as regularly. If I don’t make it to the gym, I go outside and exercise–biking, rollerblading, and walking. I’ve started to run, not very good, but I’ve started. I go many many days with healthy eating habits, then fall off the wagon. But, I always get back on. My life is pretty busy. I work two jobs and go to school full time with an hour commute each way. So, this is my first blog because I am definitely going to need support if I am going to finally take control of my life and lose those extra 20 pounds. Thanks!
