Day 1 of my 30 day plan to lose 17 pounds

Well folks, this is me now. I have been trying to lose these last 17 pounds for almost 3 years now. I just can seem to let them go. I don't know why. The thing is that I know the answer to this problem! Eat less crap, workout for 30-40 minutes everyday, sleep well, drink plenty of water. I know this! And yet I give up everytime. Is it that on some level I don't think I deserve to reach my goal, or maybe it's just that I'm lazy and I don't want to admit it! I mean I'm supposed to be writing my research proposal for my PhD applications in September and still nothing! On top of that yesterday I went to a job interview and it went amazingly well and they even gave me the job! 10 minutes later they took it away because I don't have the nationality they need... it would have been faster if they just stabbed me with a pencil. Anw, no more pity party, it's time to get my shit together, starting with this bod.

So I'll post another pic on September 3, 2017, so y'all can see if I changed(hopefully, I would have).

Thanks for listening 🌹
