I now have a blog...Woo Hoo!

Yay for my new blog!  This is exciting for me.  I have no idea if anyone will ever read this, or if it will ever matter, but I am glad to have an outlet.  So, in a nutshell, this will be the story of my weight loss.  So here it is.  I have always been a "big" girl.  When I was 15, a boy I was CRAZY about broke my heart, and I vowed to get even.  I decided the best way to do that, was to make him wish he had never let me go. The good news:  Over the next 6 months, I lost 40 pounds.  I went from a size 14 to a size 4.  The bad news: I did it by starving myself and overexercising.  Even at my smallest, I was unhappy with how I looked.  I continued this endless circle of starvation until I left home for college; that's when it got bad.  I gained all the weight back in 4 months, plus some.  Fast forward 2 years, I now weigh almost 90 pounds more than I did at my smallest.  My NP (nurse practitioner) instructed me to lose weight due to high blood pressure and a risk of developing diabetes.So we're now up to the present.  My goal is to lose 50 pounds by my 21st birthday in February.  I am doing an altered version of "the Zone" diet. Problem:  I love sweets and carbs, and HATE HATE HATE veggies!   I thought blogging would help me stay on track better, because my self-control is severely lacking!  So here I go, this is my attempt at blogging!
