March 4th, 2013
Yesterday was the beginning to a new future for me. I have finally decided to get off my lazy bum and lose the weight that has been driving me crazy the past few months. As I have entered college and was eating less and less of food that is healthy for me, and more and more processed food and candy.
Since entering college, I have changed who I was. I had my first alcoholic beverage in September of 2013, and spent the majority of October and September drunk. In October I recieved my first underage. Also in October, I tried marijuanna for the first time. And yes, that was not the last time I smoked. In early November, I began smoking cigarettes regularly. Over my winter break at a party with some girlfriends, I recieved my second underage and have my court date coming up at the end of April. My parents were ready to kick me out of the house. I was failing out of school and had to petition for a chance to come back second semester.
God must have been feeling particullarly generous that day because I was allowed to come back for the second semester. When it started, I was prepared to turn my life around, but I had no idea what it would really entail. I was not prepared. Within the first several weeks of second semester, I missed two quizzes and one online assignment. It was a rude wake-up call and I realized what I needed to do.
Today I will begin the first day of my "juicing diet". After I finish the gatorade that is sitting next to me, I will consume nothing but juice made from fruit and vegetables. Because I am unable to make my own from fresh fruits, I will be using the Naked smoothies which are available at my school's convience store. I will be consuming 4-6 drinks a day between 16 and 20 ounces.
My future begins today.
