Hello everyone, My name is Annie and I am finishing up high school. I am currently 5’4″ and weigh 140 pounds. My goal? 118- 120. I hope to lose 20 pounds. I have recently joined the cross country team at school and we run six days a week. At first, I was doing great and lost 5 pounds in less than two weeks. I eat very healthy and never starve myself. My parents are constantly exercising and eating healthy as well. The biggest problem for me is motivation. I think of the thousands of ways why I should lose weight, list them out, and realized that it needs to be done. Even my doctor says I need to lose some. I have

even printed out pictures of a year ago and how I look now. Whenever I see cookies or cake at parties, I will have one small bite, break down, and completely lose it. I will eat like that for the next couple of days until I get myself back on track. Night time is the worst – I stay up late for homework and end up snacking. Also, weekends are hard because I am at home with the food. So, I am going to try to commit myself yet again. I thought that this blog might be helpful in my goal. Does anyone have any motivational advice? Thanks so much!
