22. college. needs understanding and supportive friends

Being in college SUCKED for trying to eat less. Dining halls, parties, friends...add the stress of exams and essays and you have a terrible recipe for disaster.

Pretty much the best thing you can do is add exercise and just pray to God that nobody invites you out to go eat wings and beer every night. Track everything you're eating and be reasonable with yourself. As long as you stick to a sustainable and consistent plan, you are allowed to have those burgers and fries once in a while. Life isn't about making radical, emotion based changes. Sometimes you need to be rational and moderate and understand that you are in college and it will take more than a week to get in shape. Figure out something that works for you and you'll lose the weight and still have fun.

I get it, and nobody said this would be easy.

The support is where I lose it. i feel like I have zero accountability to anyone regardless of what I do to anyone but myself.

Some days I need someone to remind me that this is important and I'm on the right track. I'm at my worst when I'm left to my own thoughts.
