It seems like a when it comes to losing weight/getting in shape I either get too obsessive or not caring enough.
Over summer I got very obsessive. For a while I would only eat all natural foods, but nothing that had mixed ingredients. What I mean by that, I would only eat fruits, veggies and meat pretty much. Regardless of it's natural ingredients, if it was a mixture I wouldn't even eat it so that took a lot of food out of my diet. I also went running almost every day. Then it got to the point where I stopped exercising so much, ate what I wanted then just puked. I'd also go a couple days at a time without eating. I'd have nightmares about binging that would seem so real I would wake up in tears.
I ended up losing 20 or so pounds this summer, I know I would do it again, but I became such a bitter and grumpy person in that time. The mood swings were awful and I want to be a fun person to be around, not just something for people to look at.
Now I don't exercise much. I try to eat healthy, I typically eat a very healthy breakfast & lunch, but it goes down hill when I get home from school. I eat too much and too many sweets. I've gained back all the weight I lost over summer.
I really, really, really want to be thinner. To be honest, I don't care how it happens. I'd rather be healthy and in shape, but I'm so bad at sticking to health plans. I've been trying since July and it always fails. Right now I'm actually a lot happier with my body and I'm so disappointed that I'm letting myself get this way. I shouldn't be happy with my body because I'm a bit over weight and it's disgusting! I want to care as much as I did over summer, but have the motivation to carry it out in a healthy way. Any tips?
