Post apocalypse

We're well into 2014. Actually were going into fall. We moved. Ryan left first back in April. I moved in June. Now it's August. I haven't really made any friends yet and my lifestyle changes haven't done much of anything.
Excuses, excuses. But I was really sad coming down here. 18 hours from everything I knew. But I finally got a job, with the company I wanted a job with most. But at pay below what I was hoping for. Ryan's income has more than doubled. He's growing up a lot and that makes me happy. We're doing the adult things. Setting up health insurance and 401k. But he has been gone a lot. Weeks at a time for work. This has been really hard. I was able to lose a few pounds but I'm still way over what I was hoping I'd lose by now.
I told Ryan I'm going more drastic. High school style weight loss. I don't care if its considered unhealthy. I know it works and I also know that the faster I lose, the more motivated I'll be and the easier it will be to exercise.
We go home in one month. So that's one month of 750 calories days. And I know Ryan will be on board with me for it. We've already discussed it. Theoretically I could be down 30 lbs in that amount of time. I just need to channel my angst and will power to do this. After two months I'll definitely be within the 40lbs he's requested for me to lose to get a ring on my finger. But that's another story. Lots of love and luck to me. Lol.
