a letter to my body

dear boobs, 
please react to the amount of water I've been drinking, the smaller portion sizes, and the increased level of exercise that I have been trying to keep up every day. I am aiming to lose 5 lbs in the next 3 weeks. And hopefully, if I do, the first place I will lose the weight is in my chest (which is usually what happens). I have just bought a fabulous dress for my boyfriend's sister's wedding at the end of this month. However, it fits pretty snug in the boobs, kinda squishing them down. I'd really like to be able to fit better in this dress. as well as a few other button-up shirts I have that pucker and create gaps because my boobs are simply too big to fit in the shirts. 

I really just need to stay motivated, watch what i'm putting in my body, continue drinking water, and get my body moving and heart pumping on a daily basis. I'm most worried about burning off enough calories a day as well as what i'm eating. I've been trying to eat healthier but a lot of times there isn't a healthy option. My house, as well as boyfriend's house, doesn't really stock up on a lot of fruits and vegetables, making it hard for me not to eat the fried foods and cookies. 

I also wish my boyfriend was more supportive of my need to lose weight. He understands and supports it, but its hard to watch him eat cookies and haul out the giant bag of hershey's candy bars when i'm eating a salad. I really have to start cutting back. 

so please body, do what you can with what i'm giving you, i'll try harder tomorrow. 

love,
julia

  1. I suggest talking with the fam and Devin about eating healthier. I was taught in my lifespan class that healthy eating is most successful when the whole family works on it together.

    As for the weight loss, i suggest joining a dieting plan. Last year I joined Weight Watchers for 8 months (until college started). I ended up loosing (a much needed) 20 pounds and have developed healthier eating habits. I just rejoined for the summer. You could join with me, if you want. I have been happy with how WW's works, so you might be too.
