My weight and I

I was trying to lose weight since December of last year to which I managed to shed off the extra 20 lbs. 20 lbs in five months is not bad. I think that it was a healthy time frame, I didn’t need any diet pills. More than that, it was actually a lot than my ideal goal. I decided to do it because for one, I needed to take care of my health. I don’t mean to sound like a health buff (personally, nothing wrong with being one) but sooner or later bad habits—my current lifestyle included, will get the best of me. Secondly, I would want to fit into my old clothes. Not to mention NOT cringing every time I look my self in the mirror and NOT see the extra jiggle. Lastly, (the main reason behind me logging onto calorie king–AND watching Chalene Johnson, is my GERD–or so I think. My doctor says I don’t need any protom pump inhibitors because he thinks I don’t have any reflux disorders (but I still insist on it), but he said losing weight would help my flare-ups. Which, believe it or not, actually helped my gut. You wouldn’t believe what extra pounds off or on can do to your body. I still get squeemish ocassionaly though, but not enough to keep me from calling in sick. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Lately though, my appetite seems to be increasing and I always end up feeling engorged like a female mosquito after feasting on blood.  I totally hate it when I am on a plateu and then I start to gain the weight, or worse–more than what i previously weighed. I am trying to keep the weight off and so far, so good. After all the eating sessions, I still managed to lose a few pounds. I promised myself I would go back to exercising at least twice a week just to keep my metabolism revved up, which I still was not able to do for about two months now. I know, i know. But here’s what– I am moving to a new apartment with a great gym and heated pool and all the perks! It definitely looks a lot like light at the end of the tunnel. I have downloaded every possible adrenaline-inducing beat on my ipod, too. I can’t WEIGHT. No pun intended.
