Well its been a long time folks but I am glad to be back. I have been messing around trying different diets, looking for that elusive quick fix ! You would think i'd of learned my lesson by now !
I have finally realised that there really is no quick fix at all. Dieting is hard and not fair, BUT, its only as hard and unfair as you make it. And I do know that it does get easier too. So really i've spent the last 10mths pratting around and yes i've eaten what i've liked and when i've liked and i've been lazy. I've turned being a couch potato into an art-form, lol. But on a serious note, my little boy has been eating some of the same things as me and I feel discusted in myself for letting my lifestyle influence him, but what did I expect! He sees mummy eating a whole cake again and wants some, how can I say no when I sit there eating it. I do not want him to end up like me so I need to nip this in the bud now. Also I started to secretly eating again when my hubby is asleep and that is sad and that needs stopping right away too. I know that if I have to eat in secret then I shouldnt be eating it at all!
Seriously, was the food so delicious, so nice, NO! Was it worth it, NO! Has being lazy benefited me, NO! I really wish it had not taken me so long to truely figure this out. I've said this in the past but I always thought I'd find this miracle diet where I'd drop the weight really really fast. Another thing that I have learnt is that it has to be a lifestyle change not just a diet. I always planned to do the diet then when I was at target, to eat "normally" . (so basically I wanted eat what I wanted, when I wanted but still maintain my weight, If I did that I'd put my weight back on) Well, HELLO, SW is eating like a normal person should. Plus I want to be healthy and fit, not just slim so that means living a healthy lifestyle. Which is why I realised that I need to make SW part of my lifestyle.
Well, I'm not going to dwell on it because it is the past, I cant change it, but I can learn from it.
So what have I learned:
SW has to be part of my lifestyle
Exercise is non negotiable
There is no magic diet
When I eat junk I feel like junk
When I eat healthily I feel healthy
Exercise makes me feel good and energised
Now I've stopped messing about and am ready to totally commit to SW, exercise and a healthy lifestyle, I will get to my goals!
Sorry to ramble but I really need to get that off my chest, so thanks for listening !
Please may I come back :sign0009: I've missed your encouragement and info!
