HI! I'm 24 years old 4'8" and currently 150lbs. I was always active in sports till high school. I've always eaten junk food and fast food. Up until about a year or so ago I was able to maintain about 115lbs with out trying. Then It seems as though I blew up over night. I am going to blame it on my daily beer consumption. Some may call me an alcoholic, and I will agree, but I am a functioning alcoholic. I work. I have a happy family. I'm happy. My weight gain happened so quickly I had to buy 4 progressivly larger sized jeans in 1 month. My figure doesn't bother me as much as the stretch marks do (I'm using lotions and creams and they kinda work). I took for granted my young metabolism and I suppose now I'm paying for it. I LOVE eating. I love the taste of food, the texture, the smell... everything! I'm hopelessly addicted to all the different food TV shows. The hardest part about dieting for me is limiting how much I eat, not what I eat. I appreciate healthy foods. I can live without red meats. I've never really been one to eat an entire bag of chips at once.
So, for my diet, I am going to limit myself to 1 night of drinking with my friends a week. I'm going to continue to eat and exersize as I usually would. i will record all that do and see how well it works out for me.
