The Hunger Games

OK. I think I'm off to a good start, which is better than a lot of my starts.

Listen, I believe in a balance of healthy and indulgent eating. Eat healthy as much as you can, but if want a cookie eat a damn cookie. I'm not here to tell anyone how to live. But I have to face a very harsh truth: If I eat like a normal person, then I'm fat. I have a fat body. I wish I could make my peace with that, but I still want to try to lose weight, and to do that I have to be hungry. According to Spark People, I ate about 1250 calories yesterday and about 1400 today. I'm hungry! It's strange how some days I can handle hunger and some days I can't. There is a sick game to it.

I also did about an hour of cardio today.  I hope to see results on the scale tomorrow. The cardio did not go well. I use to be in pretty good shape, but I found that my heart rate was super elevated even just on the elliptical and walking. Sheesh.

I'd really like to see some significant weight loss by the time I go home for Thanksgiving. I know my parents are going to be disappointed if I don't.
