Finally...

Quote: Skip dinner, end up thinner

QUESTION: what motivates you?

     for me it is real girls I see in real life

I finally got to wiegh in. I have lost three pounds down to 137 but I need to be lower. I just want to see the scale hit 130 then 120 and then 110 and just keep dropping. My goal is to be 90 lbs by then end of the year and I know I can do it if I just keep food out of my mouth.

Its easter.... I hate family holidays in general though I hate sundays because every sunday my family gets together and eats this huge dinner. My parents make it and my dad is like a really big (fat) guy and he uses all the bad stuff like butter. OMG I do not like butter. Anyway I have to eat easter dinner with my family tonight and I know they are going to ask why I am eating so little.

I cant wait until I get a job so I can work sundays and I wont have to endure this anymore.

Anyway I am already up to like 400 calories so I think today is going to suck. On a good note though because I knew we were having such a big dinner I burned 600 calories at the gym today.
