I messed up today

Its the 9th day in my journey to weight loss, I have lost 3 pounds in one week by eating clean and exercising everyday. And I have already messed up and ate crap today, BUT, I will not let one bad day effect my progress because i determined to lose fifteen pounds in 60 days. Yes, thats right, 60 days. Gosh, now that I'm thinking about it, 15 pounds in 60 days seems rather easy compared to people losing like 50 pounds in 4 months! Thats great for 5% of America but for me I wanna keep the weight off for good and reach my goal by halloween so i can go to a halloween party and be able to wear any crapy costume i want and feel great. Honestly, lets face it costumes never fit right and they are made out of this stretchy material that itches in the wrong places. (Ha ha) 

Ok moving on, looking amazing on Halloween is not the reason to my healthier lifestyle (thats just one of the many benefits), my personal reason is.....drum roll please.....I want to find my healthy place. I know it sounds like "i want to find my happy place" but after all you cant find happiness without being healthy. 

Now let me introduce myself, my name is Anne, I'm from California and I just graduated high school. I'm attending the local community college thats right up the street from my house (which is extremely convenient). After spending 2-3 years at community college I hope to transfer to San Francisco State and I want to become a graphic designer/ personal trainer. About me: I'm extremely athletic in nature but over the years i became an emotional eater do to personal family issues which made me gain 18 pounds!!!! What a drag!!!! Thats life I guess. As a freshman in high school I was a competitive gymnast and never had to worry about what I put it my mouth. I ended up quitting because high school was such a huge transition for me; socially, emotionally, mentally but mostly socially. I was an extremely shy person and to top i all off i was going through the whole acne pizza face phase that didn't make making friends easy AT ALL. But on the plus side i had an amazing figure! (Ha ha) 

Slowly throughout high school my body was changing and I noticed lumpy skin on the back of my thighs that I had never seen before. I freaked out and looked it up online and yes, I WAS STARTING TO GET CELLULITE. Yea i was pretty traumatized and worked out vigorously then family issues and growing up issues hit and the pounds just kept coming. I slowly excepted the fact i was out of shape but i didn't want to except that because being out of shape isn't permanent. It's only temporary. I waisted a lot of years trying to lose weight and day dreaming about wanting to lose weight but it just didn't happen because i wasn't in the right place at that time in my life. Now that i have found the perfect time in my life, its been hard not to eat the crap because i have made it a habit. I have been telling myself this is college a whole new beginning and a new way of life. Its the time to leave the past in the past. RIGHT?!
