Somewhere in Between Fat and Skinny...

So here's the thing: I'm not fat, but I'm not skinny either. People will tell me that I'm skinny, but all they see is...well, nothing. You see, I wear big shirts. They aren't so big that I look like I have no curves, but they're big enough to help hide the pudge of my stomach and make me look skinnier than I am. My big boobs also help with that because they hold the shirt out instead of letting it rest on my stomach.

Now the problem I have isn't necessarily the fact that my BMI is borderline overweight, but more of the fact that I keep on growing. Also, right now I'm not focused on losing weight as much as I am focused on stopping the weight gain.

So, to prevent myself from ending up on the Biggest Loser, I've decided to do a couple of things. First, I'm going on a carbonation diet. No more soda for me. Second, I'm going to start eating breakfast and stop eating so many fatty snacks. Third, I'll be eating a lot more fruits. I don't know about the vegetables, because I hate most of them. And fourth, I'll be exercising more.

This isn't all going to happen in one night. I still have to get myself motivated to go out and walk the dog or something. I have, however, successfully resisted soda for the past week. Not a big deal, especially since I have easily gone months without soda. I've had more opportunities to drink soda this week than any other week of my life so my resistance is a little more hardcore than usual.

Also, I have a big problem with eating breakfast because I don't feel like eating anything in the morning. Also (even though this is not true) I also feel like there is nothing to eat for breakfast. Who wants eggs and cereal when they can just go without? It saves a lot of time, too.

If any of this stuff is successful, I will try to remember to update you. For now, let's just put my stats down: As of sometime last month, I, a 5 foot 9 inch girl, weighed approximately 170 lbs. My BMI is calculated to be about 25.1, which is right on overweight. In one month, I will not be any larger and hopefully I will be a little bit smaller.
