Morning Still, been up for 3 hrs

I just went for a long, long walk. I don't even feel tired.

I have discussed it with my mother and she agrees. Yes!

Now, tomorrow, if I visit the grocery store today, the diet begins.

Mom's cooking omelets. I'll have little.

I still only ate a banana, and it's 9:20 AM. Is that healhty?

Day Two, Morning

Hey. It's roughly 6:45 in the morning. I couldn't sleep, and I'm not so sure why. Well, anyway, I took a shower.

Okay, well my mother just woke up and I brought it up with her. You know, the whole idea of totally not eating her food and going to healthy choice meals instead. She made that face at me. Like the one where she raises her eyebrows and curls her lips in a funny way. Basically, the face that says, "What the heck are you talking about? You're being stupid. Are you crazy?"

Well, I'm not taking any crap today. Not any at all. I know what she's going to do.
"Oh, that costs too much money- the food I cook you is healthy."

[Chyeah right. Chinese take out every week, spaghetti, fried tempura, stirfry...]

"But I drain the fat."

[No. It doesn't matter. I'm not eating your food anymore.]

"But that's not a healthy way to diet."

[Um... Yes, it is. Eat right and exercise? Ever hear of it?]

Sorry, but I've been doing it YOUR WAY, Mom, for thirteen years- since I was born. It's about time I do it my way, okay?

I must lose at least 10 lbs. Hopefully 23 by the end of this summer.

I know I can do it.

Well, I'll check back in later today, hopefully, if I've got the time, and fill in on the objectives I wrote yesterday.

So far I only ate a banana.

Introduction

Okay, hello. My name is Kelly, and I am thirteen years old. I currently weigh 172 lbs(or so I think, possibly more) and have always been kinda chubby all my life, I guess you could say. I am five feet, five inches, and have a medium sized body frame.

Mainly, I want to diet because I want to look better. I know this isn't always the healthiest way to think, but I'm planning on being honest. I don't look that overweight compared to a lot of the kids in my school, but I don't care. I want to be able to go to the store and try on any shirt size L or less and like how I look in it. Currently, these are my sizes:

American Eagle shirts - XL
Old Navy Shirts - L sometimes, mostly XL
Aeropostale - XL
Forever21- XL, L, M

A lot of T-shirts don't fit me, so I go for the more flattering shirts that have an Empire Cut and flare out. That way, they hide my curves. No, I do not have any rolls.

Okay, yeah- that and the fact that I want to look goood standing next to others, and especially near guys.

Anyway, I think my main problem is weak will power and exercise. I am not good at exercising, or sticking to diet plans. But this time, with support, I'm sure I can do it!

My diet consists of the foods my mom cooks for the rest of the family(who are skinny as hell), and let me tell you- it is not healthy. We got potato chips, icecream, cheescake- all this stuff hanging around. And the food she cooks isn't that much healthier. Sorry, mom.

So, what I plan on doing is living off of those weight watchers pre-made meals you pop in the microwave. Pop! Or maybe healthy choice-- I don't know. I'm going to find out the nutrition facts tomorrow.

As for excercise, I plan on going to the gym and doing some speedwalking on the treadmill- maybe thirty minutes, or an hour every few days that I can get a ride. On top of that, I'll be doing some dance dance revolution(thank you, thank you) and maybe some jumping or crunchies to my favorite music. I'll have to see.

Mainly, I have to check in with my sister, who is the wait smashing god of the family first. It's hard to get ahold of her now, though, because she's going off to college and must see her friends and yada yada.

So, tomorrow's objectives are:

• Talk to and convince my mother into letting me get into this diet.
• Do at least one hour of excercise added up together.
• Go to the grocery store and buy the healthiest meals & ingredients.
• Talk over the diet with my sister.
• Update this blog.
• Eat healthy the whole day.

Let's see how I will do.
