Here's to Hoping

So I've been working really hard to lose weight lately. Though it might not be a good thing, I think I've been focusing a lot of my time and energy mostly caring about me losing the weight before I go home. I've been pushing myself to workout twice daily, I'm eating smaller portions and spreading them out and of course no more junk food. It's extremely hard to push myself, specially with the lack of sleep. Usually, if I'm sad, mad, or feeling anything I resort to food as my comfort zone or get into bed and under the covers, now I try to resort to the gym or do squats at home or something...
As hard as it's been, today it payed off. I found out that in the past week I lost 4 pounds, I went from 271 pounds to 267. When I saw that on the scale I was really happy to see that something payed off. A lot of the time I work really hard on something and in the end it doesn't work out how I hoped, but today I felt like there is a chance for me to reach my goal and lose the 55 pounds, or rather the 51 pounds now, by the end of April and not have to see the disappointment on my parent's faces.
