‘This is it! Im going to do it this time!’ Heard it before? Ive lost count of how many times ive said it, but this time something has really shifted in me. Cant pin it down to one thing but i really do want this – and for the first time ever i want this more than i want to pick up the phone and get a Dominos (my all time favourite food – i could live off the stuff!) or go out and get wasted and dance like an idiot and get a burger on the way home (which i do/did on a far too regular basis!) or sit and gorge on a box of chocolates after a bad day.
Partly ive finally realised that its not just going to disappear without me really making a conscious effort. Ive always set big targets before and if after a week or two i hadn’t lost at least half a stone id be annoyed and hit the fridge and give up. But now ive realised that it actually is possible. I want to lose 2.5 stone by my 30th (July) and working it out, thats just over a pound a week and is actually doable as long as i stick at it. Plenty of people in the forum have done it and have really inspired me and its finally clicked that having the ‘odd day off’ or ‘forgetting’ to write down a few syns is just silly, i have to stick at this if i want it.
Anyway! Thought id use this space for my random mumblings and (inevitable) struggles and (hopefully) successes.
So my aims? 2.5 stone as i said which will take me down to about 12 ½ stone. Unimaginable right now. Currently at 14.9 which is the lightest ive been in my adult life. Cant remember ever weighing less than this. Being tall with big boobs means i (apparently) carry it well and im a 16/18 depending on the shop. Decided to break my goals down into clothes as i love fashion but just cant really do it at the moment. So first stop, Topshop size 16. Then Reiss (which only go to a 14). Then a bikini. Which I have NEVER ever done but is something i can focus on eventually getting to.
My biggest obstacle is going to be the partying. I love it! Love wine, love dancing, love getting dressed up. Dont love the calories that come with the wine and the inevitable hangover food tho! So im making a conscious decision to ease up on the partying. Managed to go to the pub 3 times so far and only drink soft drinks which has been tough but also feel really proud of myself.
Love the gym so thats pretty handy i guess! Gives me a chance to clear my head and get some aggression out. Been going for about 7 months now but not combined it with the right eating so now hopefully SW and gym together will work.
Anyway, im rambling now so ill stop. Feel free to say hi/comment – and thank you to all the people who have put me right already/answered my questions/inspired me everywhere else in the forum, really appreciate it all! x
