Me too! Ever since exams ended, I've been eating junk food non stop. I've been eating chips, cookies and ice cream. I eat chips and cookies everyday. I'm too afraid of stepping on the scale right now, but I know I gained everything back. I'm probably 116 lbs by now.

I'm looking for a job right now and I'm home a lot. There's a lot of junk food at home. My Mom likes her junk food. She recently bought 10 bags of chips because they were on sale.

The good thing is that I discovered walking today. I walked 5.4 miles today and burned 443 calories. It felt really good and it was totally doable! Tomorrow I will walk 21 km (13 miles) to burn 1000 calories. I have a lot of time to walk right now since I haven't found a job yet. I'm going to walk everyday now, even if it rains.

I bought a food scale from e-Bay, but I haven't received it yet. I'm hoping it will help me out with portion sizes. I'm determined to get back on track...this time around I will focus less on food and more on exercise and see if it works. The only exercise I like doing is walking, so I will do a LOT of walking. I love walking.

If I can burn 1000 calories a day from walking (roughly 6 hours of walking), I can eat 2000 calories a day and still be able to lose weight, right? I don't plan on eating 2000 calories a day, but it's nice to know that I could and it wouldn't affect my diet too much.

I'm psyched up about walking. I walked the 5.4 miles and my legs felt a little tired right after the walk, but 20 mins later, they aren't tired at all. There's no pain or anything. It's a great form of exercise! I can walk forever!

Tomorrow I will walk 21 km (13 miles) in total. I'll take several walks.

I'll let you know how it goes!
