I was 163 and am now 156. I last checked two days ago. I'm trying to lose about 20 pounds initially. I ate yogurt and bread, drank tea so far. Tonight I will eat a big salad. I started dieting about one week ago and feel quite good. I am trying to exercise 30 minutes by walking a few times a week. I was eating at buffets before and don't feel the need to binge or eat anything special. I ate what I wanted before and am now trying to cut down on my portions and what I eat. Overall, I want to lose about 40 pounds. I am getting sick and tired of being overweight and have been for the past few years. I can't fit into my clothes and realized I'm really overweight. In the meantime, I'm trying to do some self-care by dying my hair and wearing makeup. I also am trying to clean my apartment. I just went through 6 months of psychosis and the medication is finally working- I receive shots of Maintena-Abilify. I am doing fine and am happy anyways despite being fat.
