"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want right now." That one works when what I want is candy or to stay in bed and not get up and work out. It also helps with homework and such.

I was actually trying to decide how I wanted to go about figuring out how many calories I burn on a daily basis. There is no "typical" day for me. The amount of physical work I do varies according to how many other people get sick or injured. I like the idea of the fitbit but I don't think it would be that accurate since I…

^This July 3, 1996. I was 8 years old but I remember it like it was yesterday. I still have the ticket stub. My first concert and probaby will be the best I'll ever see.

I had my "aha" moment a really long time ago. Maybe 8th grade but had decided that I just couldn't do it because I didn't eat THAT bad and I was fairly active. I changed my mind and decided I could do it about 16 months ago while watching "I used to be fat" on MTV with my sister. I thought if those kids could do it then I…

Somebody find me a fit person. I can go cannibal for a day!

I'm getting one as my reward for losing weight but I wanted it way before I ever started losing weight. I'm going to get the star of life with the words "Racing the 'Reaper" around it and possibly the japanese symbol for guardian behind it if my artist thinks it won't look too busy. Getting it on my back, probably on my…

My go to song when I need a little extra push is "Big 'Ol Fire" by Diamond Rio. The lyrics help keep me going. But when it's time to do work I listen to a lot of Linkin Park. Oh and I always finish with "#1" by Nelly (but I alternate between the regular and "Da Derrty Versions" versions).

If he would eat more than 500 calories a day he would probably roll better.

Have fun in El Reno! I'll be around town driving a big white truck with flashy lights. Maybe the boss man will let me go cheer you on!

^ this. It sometimes hurts me more when I hear someone say rude things about somebody else who is overweight in my presence than if somebody actually had the guts to make a comment about me. I can't help but to wonder if that is how they think and talk about me.

I've actually thought about this from day 1 of my weight loss journey. I wonder how differently I will be treated when I lose the weight and how I will act towards those who knew me but ignored me. Honestly, I want to have the attitude of "if I wasn't good enough for you when I was fat, then you're not good enough for me…

Took the words right out of my mouth. Good to know somebody else worries about the rescuers' safety with things like this.

Woot! This is awesome-sauce! Thanks for the vocab lesson!

I have several goals along the way: first 10 lbs: Princess and the Frog Blu-ray CHECK 25 lbs lost: New mouthpiece for my trumpet CHECK 50 lbs lost: Brand new laptop CHECK under 200 lbs: New workout outfit No longer "obese": New running shoes 100 lbs lost: New uniform w/new boots under 150 lbs: Clothes that fit Goal: Tattoo…

also: no not a chance OH HELL NO yum I'd do him and my personal favorite: *Drool*

I have never liked my first name, Jillian. My parents panicked when I was born a girl and named me after a doctor on some soap opera. Lame. They planned on naming me Stephen Hayes but SURPRISE! I'm a girl. Wish they would have planned better and come up with a better name. Something like Aria Marie or Belle Elizabeth. I…

Dr Pepper, Whisky (but not both together, strangely enough), good barbecue, medium-rare steak, pizza and ice cream

I will be doing the Run to Remember 5k next month!

Posting again because I can 1. Although I said earlier I haven't had a date in over a year, if one of the people who ignored me when I was fat (and also now while I'm still fat) asks me out when I get thinner, I will turn them down. If I'm not good enough for them while I'm fat, they won't be good enough for me when I'm…

1. I haven't had even 1 date in well over a year and I'm terrified that I'll be alone forever. 2. I would kill for even 1 man to look at me the way it seems every man looks at my sister. It kills me to be the ugly one in the family. 3. I work hard and drive myself for my goals to distract me from my shortcomings. Sort of…

Usually 5am but not really for any specific reason, I just don't ever eat between then and bedtime and usually I'm done eating by 2, depending on how the shift goes.

Try drinking through a straw when you do drink water. Sounds dumb but it will cause you to drink more without realizing it. I'm not quite sure why that is but it does really work. I use a camelbak bottle that has a built in bite valve and straw. It's leakproof and I find that when I use it, I do drink about double what I…

Hmmmm...eat nasty fish and live to be old or eat tasty steak and die young. I suppose there is only one real question here. What cut of steak shall I get? A nice medium-rare rib eye sounds delicious right now.

I recently upped my calories from about 1400 per day to 1775. I had been on weight watchers and lost 49.5 lbs in 6 months then stalled out that close to 50. Toyed with the same 3 lbs, gained 3 then lost 2 then lost another one just to gain the three back again. Never getting to 50 lbs lost and never gaining back more than…

False. I have a sister though. Skinny little brat. Has a plan for what they would do if they won the lottery even if they never buy a ticket.

True. And I do love torturing the ER with it by barbecuing in the ambulance bay. Misses the days of juice boxes and nap times.

I work 2 full time jobs and am a full time student. Tired is a way of life for me but I have found that if I get up just a little earlier and hit the gym before work I actually feel less tired at work. I had to make it a priority. I had to want it more than I wanted that extra hour of sleep. I don't allow myself to make…

False. Generic. Gory. Yawn. Likes driving.

True. But I add garlic powder to the outside. Is that weird? Is uncoordinated.

False. I'm a whiskey girl who has a mild alcohol allergy. Can touch their tongue to their nose.
