Jaly's Diary of a Snackaholic! 26pp/day :)

Hello, everyone! :)

I am new to the forum and to weight loss in general, although I've been lurking around minimins for a week or so I am still young and so my weight is fluctuating a lot (mid-teens) however I still feel uncomfortable with my weight/size and I want to feel confident enough to not have to cover up during the Summer months and to look stunning as a bridesmaid in October! That being said, I know that every girl, lady and woman is gorgeous no matter their size x

It's difficult not having an income of my own as my family tend to buy mainly processed foods, whilst not bad once in a while, I fear they could be part of the reason for my recent weight gain (as well as my incessant snacking!)

I currently weigh around 10st, while not overweight (5ft 3"), I want to adopt a healthier lifestyle, I've been exercising using the nintendo Wii on "Wii Fit," "Zumba" and "Just Dance," and I've also enrolled in a Karate class which should help with my low self-esteem/improve my fitness, hopefully, lol! I've been in a long-term relationship with my boyfriend for almost 3 years and only get to see him 3/4 times per year at the moment :( My aim is to have a noticable change to my body by the time I next see him in July/August, but you know what guys are like, I could dye my hair blue and he'd ask IF I'd dyed it.. :p

I did start a diary but can't locate it, (opps
:eek:), my intention is that recording what I've eaten will give me more motivation to not just grab a packet of crisps while studying :p I tracked the propoints for last week but haven't weighed myself yet, only ended up using 25/49 wp too! Yay! Looking forward to getting to know you all better! My diary probably won't give you much inspiration foodwise though, my diet is pretty boring haha :p Evenings are the time I have the most troubles, and food is my comfort/boredom relief etc. After 1 week my family is becoming more supportive to my lifestyle change and buying ww yogs instead of normal ones etc! ;) It's shocking how unhealthy my school canteen is! There isn't one 'healthy' option which is less than 8 points unless I buy a plain ham sandwich on wholemeal bread and take off the crusts, grr.

Most of the time yeah :p Depends though.. some of the kids are little so-and-so's and i'm always being looked down on by the staff 'cause i'm "just a student" - but I want to study to be an educational psychologist in the future so it's good experience I guess :) Looks good on the CV too :p

That sounds like a great job. Your food diary looks good too.
 
Karate too! Good god girl ur a busy woman lol xx

Thank you no1mom! :) Just got back from Karate and got 2pp left! I know if I have a cake/choccy then I'll be craving more though! Decisions...

Dont do anything that will knock you off track caus you're doing really well. I used to do kick boxing & absolutely loved it. Would like to get back to some sort of martial art but not sure which one.
 
GCSEs in 2 weeks, family, friends, 2 volunteer jobs, karate once/week and about to join a gym too.. so much to do, too little time! :p Keeping myself busy keeps my mind off food tho :)
