1/22/12: Above my UGW by 2.6 lbs. I'm doing well in planning meals, and we've solved the nut butter issue: my sister licks a knife and stirs up the jar in front of me when she opens it :) and I'm proud to say I can eat only one serving of oats at a time now! I'm lucky to have fast metabolism, and I'm taking it one day at a time to get over nighttime snacking. Next step is controlling sodium intake during stressful college deadline meeting. 12/22/12: Above my UGW by 4 lbs. Finally ...

I'm lucky to have fast metabolism, and I'm taking it one day at a time to get over nighttime snacking. Next step is controlling sodium intake during stressful college deadline meeting. 12/22/12: Above my UGW by 4 lbs. Finally admitting to severely disordered eating and ready to get the support I need outside of sparkpeople. 12/1/12: Finally at my goal weight. Now I'm just focusing on maintaining! I'm CHOOSING a healthy lifestyle, not forcing myself to live it! I'm combining running, yoga, intermittent dancing and intense laughter, and roasting lots of squash through the holidays :) 10/25/12: at 123.6. gained 5 lbs and lost 5 lbs over the course of 2 days; it was very stressful! focusing on healthy snacks and portion control. I'm great at working out and love it; I need to get back into strength training, though. 10/23/12: at my lowest in a while: 123.8 lbs. averaging about 2100 calories a day; I'd like this to get down to 1800, then these last 3.8 lbs would melt off! 120 is just right for someone my height (5' 8"). 10/5/12: farther away now than I have been in a while. I can't stand school stress. I was at 122 lbs just a week ago; now I'm at 127 at the end of week! This yo-yo needs to stop. I've really got to focus on healthy food. 9/7/12: goal not met, but closer! 8/16/12 As of TODAY, I am going to try my hardest (and SUCCEED!) at not eating either PB or oatmeal because I'm very sensitive to them. I get headaches and severe bloating after bingeing on them, and I can't stand it. I'm 5 lbs away from my goal! I'm going to try my hardest to get there by 9/7, but if I don't, I'm glad with how far I've come. I'm happier with each pound lost. 7/20/12 Throughout life, I have struggled with a negative self image and disordered eating. Forever dissatisfied with my diet and exercise regime, I've yo-yo'd between being severely underweight and pushing the needle on the scale up into the upper 140's. This time around, I'm vowing to do it right: focus on portion control, cut out the crap and follow a clean diet for good, get into the meanest, leanest shape of my life, and maintain my social life. I know that changing habits won't be easy, but I'm ready to conquer the challenge to get fit and happy.
