I’VE LOST 30 POUNDS! I’m so excited! Last time it took me so long to get here and I am so proud of myself for staying motivated and eating healthy. I am now at 215. I couldn’t stop smiling all morning! I just got back from an hour long walk with my friend am I am just feeling great. I know I can do it this time. I know it is really hard to lose weight but I want this more than anything!

I am really hoping that I am losing enough to win the $250 bet that ends the 21st of this month. I need to go to the gym more probably because I am slowing down on that but I think for the most part I’m doing okay.

On another note..today in my psychology class we were talking about caffeine. Supposedly caffeine is supposed to make you less hungry. I think this is weird because both Weight Watchers and SBD says have as little caffeine as possible because it makes you more hungry and I have found this to be true. I raised my hand and said something about it mentioning SBD and the girl next to me looked at me and said “South Beach Diet? That is a horrible diet.” AND THEN the teacher went on a rant about fad diets and gimmicks and stuff. I thought that was ridiculous. There is so many misconceptions about the SBD just because the 2 week long phase one is very restrictive. It’s only restrictive in the first two weeks. For the rest I eat pretty much anything I want except the obvious fast food and fatty pasta. I wish people didn’t think it was like Atkins. It taught me how to eat healthy!

BUT I KNOW IT IS HEALTHY! And I know I’m doing a good job. 30 pounds down!
