Hi my name is Becks,
and I've been a member here on and off for years and many of you guys inspire me everyday. I am a college student and am going to begin my senior year of college. I am 175 pounds and 5’1. But the weight doesn’t mean much to me. What I want is to be healthy and look better in the clothes that I wear.
I have always gone on diets, and gone off, but have never been successful. But last year I decided that I was going to lose the weight and began a program that worked very well for me. Unfortunately as a college student the diet got too expensive ( or so I thought) for me to carry on with the program and I gained all the weight back.
Now it is the summer of o6’ and instead of wallowing in self pity I want to see this through. Now, my question to all of you, successful or not ( because successful or not we are all experts at dieting) is losing weight a financial investment/ commitment as well as spiritual investment because I feel on that program that I had never spent so much money on food in my life. Maybe because im young I never thought of food costing soo much. Now I am willing to spend the money but are there other alternatives? Please give me any suggestions, stories, comments anything.
