Simple Start!!

Ok!! This is it! I'm going to be a Bridesmaid for my very slim and glamorous sister.

The wedding is in May next year. Taking out 2 weeks over Christmas, I have 24 weeks to make a difference. 8 weeks before Christmas and then 16 weeks post Christmas.

My life is very stressful at the moment. In a good way. Just bought my first house with my Partner. We're really excited about it but no time to do anything. I work in retail so it's that time of the year when I work really long hours with no chance of time off. It's going to be tricky.

One benefit of all this is that I should have less time to eat?!? I am a stress eater so need to manage this.

I've been on and off Weightwatchers over the last few months and lost a total of 4lbs. Realisation has now struck that time is running out and I need to just get on with it.

I have decided to follow simple start. I'm not great with counting points. I get a bit obsessed and weighing and measuring and often give up if I'm not spot on with my points. I also need to break the habit of eating snacking foods like crisps and biscuits.

Starting tomorrow so wish me luck!!

Ha, I'm used to it by now! 1lb lost this week, which was ok, but I'm going to try doing points every day this week just to see if it makes a difference.

Well done Sara. My weight in is tues so going to see how it's goes then might change back over to points I like more control of my food.
