Weight Loss

So, I've been working on losing weight, well I actually haven't I've been eating whatever I want at this point because I keep losing weight. However, I'm not being healthy by eating the right foods or exercising. I don't want to cause anymore health problems because I can't seem to keep the food in check. Seriously, I have been so careless and reckless with the type of food I choose to put in my mouth. Lord I really need your help with the self-control thing. I have to break through and find a way to get motivated and to get things done so that I can lose the rest of this weight and really EAT HEALTHY!!! I've decided to start counting calories again and as always making sure to eat 30 to 40 carbs per meal and half of that for snacks. I know if I am accountable and working out it really isn't that hard. It's the getting up and breaking away from what I'm doing that stops me. It's really hard for me to start, which is the biggest hurdle, once I'm past this, I'm fine. I'm about to finish my MBA and I have the job hunt, aggressively, I've been job hunting but nothing has come up yet. I'm almost finished with capstone which was a stress all in it's own. I just don't want there to be any excuses for why I'm not losing any weight. This morning I didn't eat as many calories as I should have but I sure did eat all of my carbs for breakfast. I ate some oatmeal and two fruit snacks (Fruit Roll Ups). I tried to eat some cheese but it went bad, I left it in the fridge at work too long. I'm supposed to eat 1835 calories per day. I'm at 230 so far, which is not nearly enough. I guess I can start taking pictures of all my foods and blogging about them, that way I can be more accountable for what I'm eating. My nutritionist said I need to get 8 hours of sleep every night, I can deal with 6 not 7 it makes me too tired. However, she did mention that if I don't get the 8 hours my body isn't able to heal itself. I see the sleep regimen coming on here, I need to be in bed by eight hours before I wake up the next morning, whatever time that is. I need so much accountability to do good, a stickler that cares about me enough to not let me continue on this downward spiral. If I continue losing weight I can reach my goal by October 22 of this year! I can do it and I have 57 pounds to go! Exercise you help me :-)
