So I live in South Beach. Why not look good here?
Hi! I'm a grad student who just moved to South Beach from far, far away a month ago. My weight's been steadily edging upward from a maintained 150-155 since the last semester of my BA this spring (the result of a 25-pound vegan diet loss 2 summers prior), and after a lot of harrowing life decision-making and a messy breakup this spring and summer, I clock in at the most I've ever weighed, 190 pounds.
I will not break 200 lbs. I will not let life stop me from feeling happy, energized, sexy and comfortable with myself. I live a block from the beach and I can't bring myself to go more than once every couple weeks because I feel like a fool. Well, no more. Not only am I bringing myself down from a size 16 (36 in guys' bottoms -- I wear men's shorts because I feel like I can't take my thighs out in public) back down to the 9/10 I was holding, I want to take it down to a size 4-6. I estimate that'll be around 130 pounds. I'm really not eager to count in pounds, though. I'd rather count in sizes. Half the clothes I've brought down to FL with me are clothes that don't fit anymore. I want to get them back on again and surpass them.
I'm not following a plan diet -- I'm going vegan again and adding an exercise regimen, now that I have a steady income that allows me to do both. I also intend to get my sleep regimen back to something resembling normal (as clearly it is not right now.) I'm giving up smoking and drinking, now that my birthday party's over. My present to myself is the will to change.
So, uh, hi.
