Hi there,
As you can tell from the title, I am utterly fed up with the stories I keep telling myself about how I can't lose this weight and be happy.
And yes, I know being slim won't necessarily make anybody happy, but I'm quite self-aware in knowing how much this extra weight upsets me and makes me depressed.
I have lost weight previously, I know I can do it, but for some reason, I won't let myself. I end up bingeing and even debating whether to just accept and love myself exactly where I am now, aka body positivity. But I can't. It's true that what you resist persists and the idea of giving up on being slim and healthy is just a big no-no for me.
I am currently 12st 10.4lbs and I would love to get to around 10 stone. My first target is to lose a stone by Christmas, which is only 7 weeks away!
I have an exercise aversion but my wonderful husband bought me a gym membership a while back and I only ever used it a handful of times, so this week I have booked a class for every evening. I want to work on my fitness level first and then hire a PT to start lifting.
I am starting at 1,200 calories which is low I know, but that may also change in time. First I just want to get into a routine and work out what will work best for me.
So this is my opening post, I used to use Mini's a lot years ago and I can see that it is very quiet now, but this is for me and anyone interested in following my transformation and journey.
I will update my food and exercise as I go.
