New start diary
There have been millions of these and this is mine. I've had a tough yr. I started sw oct 2011 weighing in at 13st 8lb. I lost almost 2.5 st by last summer. Then it went a bit wrong. A miscarriage, work stress and depression have sent me running to the chocolate and bread and I have struggled to keep any motivation. I'm a comfort eater and god have I needed comfort over the last yr. so a year later and I'm up at 12st 10. I feel crap, bloated, spotty and miserable. I am fat again. I'm ashamed of myself. I had done so well and now I'm a blimp again.
I have two options
1 keep eating
2 do something about it.
I was reading about depression tonight and self help. Something struck me. Recovery is not the easy option, it takes hard work and effort but the results are worth your effort tenfold. I could keep stuffing this mouth with food I don't really want or I could get control of my eating again and enjoy the buzz that weight loss gives. Seeing those numbers fall. I remember last yr when it was going so well. I was happy.
So I need to muster the energy to wrestle my binge and comfort eating into submission.
I'm going to pledge to myself the loss of a stone. It will get me into a place where I'm happier with my body and I think that will be enough to start the ball rolling for now. So restart diary your target is .......
1 stone
14lb
In 3-4 weeks please.
I will achieve this by
1 running. I am at week 6 of couch to 5k. Start showing some commitment to the race for life in July. It's 8 weeks away. You could be well past the 1stone hurdle.
2. Eating better and planning my meals.
3 stop secret eating. This is the big problem in my life.
I need some encouragement along the way so feel free to comment as I hate waffling to myself but will do so anyway.
My main aim is to be happy in the photos of me and my daughter. She's only little. I don't want to look back in the future and say I wish there was a pic of us I love.
