Take II, Day 6

Morning weigh-in: 157.6. Slowly creeping back down. That's a good sign, I guess.

Today I don't care what temptations throw themselves my way. Heck, I'm going to the mall and then to watch a movie with my friends later, and I'm not even going to let THAT stop me. I am ONLY eating a few scarce fruits and veggies, and if we eat lunch/supper at the mall I will consider having a sub (less than 300 cals) or maybe even a wrap (less cals than that). I'm disgusted with myself that I even agreed to go to Tim's and get that half hot chocolate and cookie. The calories I put into myself should come from GOOD foods, not terrible ones like chocolate chip cookies.

And every time I think about how much I'd like to eat something that will unnecessarily add to my caloric intake, I just read over my quotes, or look at some of my pictures, to remind myself of why I'm doing this. I want to lose weight. I want to be thin. I want to lose weight. I want to be thin. And I can't do/be either of those things if I keep indulging myself in fast food and junk food cravings, or letting other people convince me to eat things I never wanted to eat in the first place.

Also, I'm going to start exercising more. Someone informed me that muscle mass is the first thing that goes when your body is burning calories, and I do NOT want to end up barely able to walk or something. I'm going to force myself to exercise more than I have been. I mean, come on -- three minutes of dancing is nothing. Five times that is more like it. And, I mean, I can take breaks between songs. It's not like I'll even be gruelling myself too badly. GET WITH IT, NIIKA. YOU NEED TO KEEP SOME MUSCLE.

Heh. *cough*
