1 Stone Gone

I have been doing so well in the last few days, I've been finding it so easy to get motivated (long may it last) and I have officially lost my first stone! yay! I am really proud of myself.

I am starting college next week so I guess I'm going to have to try my best to stay on track while there, it is easy in the summer because I never have to eat out of the house so I can plan all my meals but all those lunch times coming up having to resist the chips could be a bit of a challenge!

I am just trying to stick to the thought that when I eventually do loose all this weight I will look and feel amazing compared now and for the moment that is keeping me going, but it is early days still.

Getting back on track

I have had a little hiccup lately with my weight loss, you know how it is, something happens in life and you become really busy and so the diet goes straight out the window. Thats what happened to me over the last month but luckily I havent been too bad and have maintained my weight quite well.

I did let the healthy eating slip though and so got back into my old habbits of needing lots more sleep, being lazy and just generally feeling unwell all the time. So the day before yesterday was shopping day and I bought all healthy stuff again and am back on track as of yesterday.

Look out for some really good weight losses! Fingers crossed!

Looking forward

Welcome to the beginning of my new healthy lifestyle.

My activity and eating habits before a few days ago were absolutely shameful, I used to look at those healthy slim people in the streets and out jogging and wonder how they could possibly have the energy to be so fit and eat so well but at the same time i'd be wishing I could look like them too.

I have been on diets before, many many times, but have never stuck to them for more than a few months at a time. I've had fantastic results on these diets but my problem is i always starved myself for as long as i could stand it, when i was really hungry id just drink some water or go to sleep, but after a while the need to eat would take over and i would binge on everything i could. So alas i fell into the trap of loosing a little then putting more on again and again.

Then last week I braced myself and stood on the scales and couldnt believe my eyes. 236.4 pounds!

So I have decided to do something about it! Properly this time!
