Hi everyone!!
I joined minimins a few days ago and it really has inspired me to start my weightloss journey.
So I got on the scales this morning thinking I was gonna weigh well over 13stone... I was so scared. But I was pleasantly surprised to see I weigh 12stone 9lbs! It's still over 3 stone more than I want to be, but it feels alot more achievable.
Today is the start of my weightloss journey!!! I gave birth to my second son 5mnths ago, so feel now is the right time to start tackling the weight I gained. With my 1st son it just fell off and after giving birth to him I was happier with my body than ever before! My stomach was flat, my boobs were bigger! (lol) and I was a healthy weight and a size 10-12. I want that back again. I'm going to be realistic and just want a healthy bmi and to get down to a size 12. I'm going to do it slowly, in the hope it will stay off.
I'm a real emotional eater, so I'm gonna be prepared for this. I also have a habit of eating in the evenings partly out of boredom and habit and partly because I am comfort eating. So I'm going to prepare myself for this and keep lots of chopped veggies ready for this time and save some points/calories for some lowfat popcorn sprinkled with a bit of sweetener (yum!)
I'm also going to keep a Food diary, which always seems to help me eat less. I've got all the weight watchers books and it has worked well for me in the past, so think I may try that at home.
So.... Day 1: I've taken my little boy to school and instead of taking the car I walked, so got a 30min brisk walk in... a good start. I think I'm now gonna have brekky...ReadyBrek with skimmed milk & a cup of tea with skimmed milk. Need to decide what to cook for tea... needs to be something the whole family can eat..hmmm
Will post again later.
