Food Journal

So, I bought a little journal yesterday so that I can track what I am eating. I am not going to be all hard-core and count calories or anything like that (yet), but I figure it will keep me honest and I can go through and see the changes that I have made. Already I know what one of my biggest issues will be, besides eating out...and that's breakfast. I don't usually do breakfast. Just one more thing to work on. ~sign~

On a side note, I was proud of myself last night. For almost 3 hours, I fought the urge to go out and buy food. I kept telling myself that it was just a craving, and that I wasn't actually hungry, and therefore didn't need to eat. Eventually, I grabbed a box of crackers out of my cupboard, because they are a lot healthier than what I was craving, and ate a few. Even still, I came so close to giving in, but in the end, I just let my craving fade away until it was gone. One small step for fatties everywhere, one giant leap for Jessica!

4 Week Weight-Loss Challenge

I came across DietBet on another blog, and really liked the idea behind it. Basically, it is a 4 week challenge to lose 4% body weight. Each competitor "bets" a specified amount, which goes into an accumulative pot. Each week, you weigh-in and submit pictures...so no cheating allowed. At the end of the challenge, everyone who lost 4% of their starting weight wins back a equal portion of the pot. Those that do not lose the weight don't get their money back.

It's similar to a local Biggest Loser challenge that I have participated in, but it is not only the top loser that wins the money. Even better!

I liked the ide so much, in fact, that I started my own challenge. The bet amount is only $20, so it won't cost an arm or a leg!

If you would like to join my challenge, which begins January 7th, go here:

Wednesday Weigh-In (2)

I missed last weeks weigh-in as I was out of town, but there really has not been much of a change. I will be continuing my previous challenge from week one, with one change. Instead of eating out only once this week, I will try to eat out only twice. At this time, this is a much more realistic goal.

Today's weight:

291.8 lbs. (12:38pm)
