As the days go by really fast, I find myself falling deeper into hating myself. I feel like if I was at my goal weight, my life will completely change. I'll be much happier and accept myself. I'll stop being negative and bitter about others, etc...

I still can't figure out why I can't just stick to this one diet. I stuck to it the first time so why can't I do it again? I'm full of excuses and I keep giving up on it because I tell myself that I can just lose the pounds another way.

Blaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Life is hectic. When I get my paycheck, I suddenly go from 500 dollars to 20 dollars in one day because of all the bills I have to pay plus gas and my school loans...*sigh* I can't wait until the day I pay off the last cent of this loan. I'm glad that I do have a nice, chill job though.

I'm so tired of dealing with jerks. Jerks that are willing to risk a girl's feelings for their own benefits. I wish girls would use them so they'd know how it feels grrrr

On a brighter note......

I like this pic even though it's kinda scandalous >_>

Well it's day 11 and I did a weigh in.

Current weight is 154. The thing is...I weighed in at night and that's like AFTER you eat your food. I think I'll do another weigh in tomorrow morning and see if it's the same though. If I'm still 154, then I lost 7lbs. Not 9lbs, but I'm still very satisfied =)

It is day 5 and I am currently about 155 or 156lbs.

I said that my previous weight was 159, but it was actually 161lbs.

Therefore, I have lost 5lbs so far on this diet. It's like a pound a day =) I even cheat sometimes by eating grapes when they aren't on the meal list for the day, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

I have survived Day 2(the toughest day for me) of this diet. It was basically to eat a sandwich for one meal and the rest of the meals throughout my day had to consist only of fruit. Ahhhhh I love fruit and all but it's so hard to just eat fruit for a day x_x but I did it and I'm very proud.

Tomorrow the meals start to get normal again, thank goodness.

This is some info for folks who want to lose their middle:

The abdominal (ab) muscles are muscles just like any other muscle of the body. When you train a muscle it will become stronger & tighter.

For example, if you begin training your biceps muscles with light barbell curls then your biceps will become stronger & tighter. The abdominal muscles are no different.

If you begin training your abdominal muscles with sit-ups (or any other type of abdominal exercise) then your abdominal muscles will become stronger & tighter.

However, your new stronger & tighter abdominal muscles will still be buried beneath layers of fat tissue so you won't be able to SEE THEM, and that's why sit-ups are useless for slimming your waistline.

Sit-ups are useless because they can only strengthen & tighten your abdominal muscles, but those muscles are still located BENEATH a layer of fat tissue on your stomach.

Your abdominals will never be noticeable until you burn away the fat that is covering them up.

Making your abs stronger and tighter is not the same thing as burning away the fat tissue which SITS ON TOP OF YOUR ABS. Those are 2 totally different things.

There is simply no such thing as spot reducing. "Spot reducing" means to get rid of fat from "one" specific part of the body.

Fat can only be removed from the body in more or less equal parts. For example, if you lose 5 pounds the pounds will come from all over the body in small amounts (thighs, hips, buns, arms, back, face, etc.).

You would not lose the 5 pounds from just "one" specific area of the body such as the fat sitting on top of your abdominal muscles.

Here's another way to explain it...

...When you see an overweight person they not only have fat on and around their midsection -- but on their face and neck too. So, when that person loses weight they'll not only lose weight from their stomach and hips, but their face and neck will be noticeably slimmer too.

This is true because fat tissue can only be burned from ALL OVER your body at the same time, in more or less equal amounts.

There are only two ways to burn fat:

1) By eating properly

2) By performing non-strenuous aerobic exercises (such as walking at a light pace each day).
