FangsPierce

   I'm ashamed to say that I've gained about 10lbs since the holidays. Control over my sweet tooth/cravings has gone awry. Slightly influenced by my partner leaving for USMC bootcamp. It's a mere total of three months or so, however it's become clear that I've been eating my emotions rather than expressing them.
   My parents are Catholic and the Lenten season is upon us, as a way to kick start my diet and refocus, I'll be fasting every monday. Lent technically begins the 22nd of February and ends on the 7th of April. Only intend to fast every monday during that period, beginning Feb 20th and ending April 2nd. For moral support my mother will be joining me. Family and friends noticed that I have gained some weight back but are rather happy about it. They tell me that I was becoming "too skinny" and that I'm now at a healthier-looking weight. In fact, after talking with my sister and asking for her input, she told me I looked curvier (in a good way). Not wanting to be appear "too skinny" and certainly want to be healthy, I'm going to strive harder to work out more and increase my protein intake. Truly hope that fasting with my mother will renew my motivation, not to mention willpower, to reign in my cravings and regain control of my weight!
   Wish me luck :D
