Okay so a bit about me......
I am 44 years old and mother to 2 children. I have always been conscious of my weight and body size. Despite many attempts (both successful and unsuccessful ) my weight has bounced between 9St 7lb and 15 stone. I am fed up of this dieting merry go round. I am also fed up of being so conscious of my weight in front of everyone.
I have tried to fool myself over the years telling myself I look fine and maybe I do to others. But deep down I feel ashamed of my size and embarrassed that I let myself go.
So this is the start for me. I am following SW as I like their plan but I am not going to obsess about it. It's a plan to get me back in the frame of mind of healthy eating.
I also plan to weigh myself once a month. This is also to help me not obsess over the pounds coming off. So on the last Monday of each month I'll weigh in.
My goal this week is drinking more water and snacking on healthy foods. My job can be stressful and I work from home so the temptation is in my kitchen 24 hours a day. This is the toughest habit that I will have to break but I am going to work on it.
I do not plan to buy any sweet treats this week and I am going to see how we all get on as a family. We could all benifit from a reduced sugar and fat intake. Treats will be kept for the weekend - including my glass of vino and some cheese.
I also plan to check in here to keep myself motivated. I hope to get to know some people out there in the same boat and we help each other along.
So until the next time - going to keep drinking my water and eating healthy snacks
