I stuck to my diet and exercise plan for the week and I lost 6 pounds in the first week. Thing is, I also started my period today so I had a potential to lose anywhere from 0-6 extra pounds. I've never done any consistent weigh ins so I don't know if I gain any weight during my period or not but most women do, and I bleed quite a bit so I wouldn't be surprised if a retain a lot of weight during. We shall see next week if I lose a considerable amount of weight next week.

Been really worried about losing my boobs while losing this weight. I don't think I will, at least not a lot. My boobs have gotten a bit bigger since I've gained the last 100 pounds or so but not really that much. I'm just worried that I will lose a lot of weight out of them for whatever reason. My boobs have always been proportionate to the rest of my body ever since I got them. The trouble is, I've never been down to my target weight before, so I don't know what my body will do. Maybe I'll get extremely lucky and I'll keep my boobs, I have more than enough fat to lose elsewhere. Luck, in this life, has never been on my size. But I have genetics on my side, every woman in my family has been D or larger for at least 3 generations.

I'm pretty proud of myself, I've gone from 3,000 calories and no exercise to 800 calories and at least 30 minutes of exercise in a day. From lots of cheese and ranch dressing and beef to vegetables and chicken. Completely cut out dressing, most of my cheese apart from one day on the homemade pizza on "cheat" day (which I sucked at, I ended up worrying about my diet more on the day I wasn't supposed to). I feel a lot better though, even after the first week, I wake up a lot faster, a lot less hungry all the time, fuller while eating less. Every day I can go longer and longer without eating any food and even not wanting to eat when I know I should. Having sweets in the house doesn't help but I've fought off cravings successfully. I only gave in once, a small piece of cake, and I worked out for 20 minutes afterwards to burn it off.

I've been obsessively looking at myself in the mirror, everytime that I go to the bathroom I stop and look at my profile. It's not pretty, it never was, but I've been trying positive reinforcement. You're changing, you're not where you want to be but you will be someday. Even if it's not tomorrow or even in the next year you will eventually get there. You're getting stronger each day and this is the biggest you will ever be, you only get smaller from today. You're in control of what happens and you want it to be a positive change.
