    This is the squash:

    spaghetti-squash2.jpg

    I like it so far. It makes me feel I'm eating something more other than vegetables. I've been limited the amount of carby foods I eat. I don't deprive myself but I switch things up. Some days I have more carbs than others and some days is more of a protein veggie/fruits day. So far it's working. Plus I'm fuller ever since I incorporated more veggies. They are not so bad if you learn how to "dress" them with things other than the same o' salad dressings.

    It's supposed to be spaghetti squash. It's in season now. They call it spaghetti because the insides literally come out like spaghetti. I love it. God was thinking of me and how much I love pasta when he created this lovely veggie jiji

    1) Reason you want to lose weight
    To be healthy and live longer, too look better and to stop breathing hard when I go up one flight of stairs.

    I'm an emotional eater and have never mastered the concept of portion control. In one sitting I wouldn't eat a cup of ice cream, I'd eat the pint. Also psych meds caused me to gained at least 50 of these extra pounds but most of it is from overeating and not moving enough.

    My bad habits and , of course, how I look.

    5) Fav food =)

    Reason you want to lose weight
    - I want to feel good about where I am weight wise. I’ve always been a fairly confident person, I’m one of those people that wear their weight well (oh lucky me *eye roll*) but it’s finally time for me to be where I want to be.

    Reason you (feelings on why) you gained weight
    - I’ve been overweight my entire life. I was always really tall and grew into my body super early so I honestly can’t remember a time that I couldn’t off had lost a few pounds. Last few years I didn’t pay much attention to what I ate and although I’m not at my highest weight ever I know I can do better.

    Something you love about yourself
    - My confidence. I have days that I feel better than others but now that I’ve lost 20lbs I feel more confident than ever I can just imagine when I reach goal.

    Something you can’t wait to change
    - My BMI from overweight to normal!

    Favorite food =)
    - Chocolate, broccoli and chicken salad sandwiches. Not together of course.

    Food ill never eat
    - I’m not too picky but not a fan of weird meats (basically anything other than chicken, beef or pork).

    Things I said I would never eat but LOOOV now!
    - I never ate fish other than fish and chip. I’m allergic to shell fish but I recently tried haddock without the beer batter and I actually enjoy it!

    Favorite exercise
    - Walking, especially outdoors.

    Exercise I’d like to try
    - Running. I’m an extremely fast walker so I feel I’m not too far off. I really want to get into it once the sidewalks aren’t death traps!

    Ultimate Exercise Goal
    - Be able to run 5km as easily as I can walk 5km.
