(Almost 10 LB) gone, progress pictures!
Sooo I went out tonight with some friends for the first time in like a month (since I started the program) and wow, I had soo much fun. Before I would always compare myself to others and have negative thoughts running through my head that prevented me from having fun, but tonight I had this new found confidence. I felt…

I Refuse...
This is me venting... I refuse to be made feel guilty for wanting to eat healthy foods instead of stuffing myself without being hungry. I'm sick and tired of people looking at me weird or judging me for trying to take care of myself. Being home for the summer reminds me of why it is that I do better when I live by myself…

I feel like it's definitely a day…

Not achieving your goal but still being successful
So my first goal weigh-in since I started the program was originally scheduled to be tomorrow. Exactly a month ago I joined the site and I told myself I would be 135 lb by then. However, due to Spring Break and my birthday weekend, things didn't exactly go as planned. I did a sneak weigh-in today because I was curious if…

Struggle
I'm back using MFP after almost a week went by completely avoiding being on here and binging on everything imaginable in my house. Spring Break started for me so I'm back home, back to where it is I make most of my mistakes. I'm so tired of the same routine of losing weight and then gaining it all quickly back after going…

I'm on a mission to learn to love my body and treat it well by nourishing it with healthy foods and daily exercise. My name is Ariana, I'm currently…
