WOOOOOOOWWW what a miracle!! It`s has been four days since I “started” my healty plan and all I did so far is eating cookies, chocolate (love! chocolate), chips and more things with lots of callories.. You might wonder what the miracle is.. well… my weight is still the same! Not hat I am proud of it, but at least I can`t punish myself for putting on weight this week.
It`s just that at the university (law school) we now have a period of exams. Which means: No lessons, no daily obligations, just sitting in my room and study. And when I am inside my house all day, I start eating.. unfortunately…

I have good hopes that after all the stressful things my motivation will be back Untill then, I`ll try to replace my cookie jar for some fruit. And throw these cookies out my window!

Hi everyone,

 I`m Amy and I`m from Holland, Europe. I am the kind of person that looks in the mirror and thinks: hmmm Amy, you are looking good today!

 And while thinking that, another thought comes sneaking in and slapes me right in the face with what we all call: reality. “Well, you might look good, but with your clothes on. And what about being not really fat but not really slim either? And treading your body like carbage because of all the unhealthy things you eat every day, doesn`t feel ok either right?”
Trust me, I`m not schizophrenic These little conversations I have with myself keeps me down to earth and it made me realize that I am not completely happy about…me. I eat lots and lots of candy, especially chocolate!
Seven years ago I got depressed and it took me five years to get over it and to get my life on track. The only thing which did not completely dissapeared is my obsession for food. I also took medication for it. These pills made me gain weight like crazy. I don`t say I am fat now, it is just that I am not the person I was before and now that I feel good about my life, I want to feel good about myself and my body too.

They always say that when you feel good about yourself, you want to treat your body good as well ( I phrase: Dr Phil, Oprah and lots of other people)… I haven`t reached that point unfortunately.

In 2009 my plan will be to overcome this and get in shape. I already got myself a fitnesscard, and tomorrow I will start with my plan to get healthy, and most of all: happy with body. If I can overcome a depression which lasted five years, I surely can reach this goal! YES I CAN!
