A new revolution - finding a way of life

Yes, indeed.
I have, like so many of you had a battle with my weight for a long long time. I lost a lot of my weight a couple of years ago, and most of it I have kept of. I have however gained a lot in the past year, and I'm now at 180 lbs. I find myself struggling, once again in how to make changes to my life and my body that are sustainable and healthy. On Wednesday next week, I do start. However, I have spent some time really thinking this through and digging deep to find my motivation. I have found that it's not about loosing weight, it's about getting fit. Getting strong, being able to do amazing things with my body. I know this road is not going to be easy, and I'm trying to ask myself some very basic questions like. Why am I fat? What are the choices that I'm making in my life that make me end up here, and how can I change them?

I don't feel this big surge of motivation just beaming through me right now, as you might feel when you are heading out on an adventure a new journey, I just feel that it is time. It is time to make better choices and see where I might end up.

I have used this forum before, and I would be lost without it. So many of you out there struggle with the same questions and issues as I, I hope some of you might join me. Without the support of others I will be lost, so lost.

Big hugs to all of you out there, keep the fight, enjoy and work towards health! The rewards will be great.

Hello again!

So, I have really spent some time planning this now. I feel really good, excited to start my diet on monday and yes, that's really it, super excited!

It feels good that I sort of have things planned and straight in my head, I know what I'm doing, my exercises, my food. My family and friends all know whats going on. I do feel like I have planned this and mentally prepared my self as good as I possibly can. Feels good.

Cheers!

Good luck, you sure do sound in the zone. I'm sure you'll do it.

Thank you tasi! Good luck with your diet as well!

Haha. So funny quote from the boyfriend.
Me: So, I have gained like 19lbs. Jeeez.
BF: Yey! Now you get to loose them again! Whoho!
Me: ... Waow. Seriously.

So, I started my diet today. I'm on an LCD diet with about 800 kcal's a day. To me feels like luxurious compared to the 500 ish I used to do with cambridge. I'm feeling good, not hungry just a bit cold!

Weigh-in and tired!

Today, I'm so so tired. I really have to gather all my strength not to just, fall asleep on the couch and get my but to yoga. Yes yes, I'm going.

I had my weigh-in yesterday and I'm down 3 lbs, feels good! On the right track, just need to keep going. I just wish I wasn't so darn tired!
