Fighting for My Health
Hi to anyone that reads
I thought I'd start this diary as a record of my journey with Weight Watchers. I am only a couple of days into it, but loving it Have been eating 'rubbish' food for so long now, I'd forgotten how good healthy food tastes and makes you feel. I am sure I can stick to this. I know the weight isn't going to drop like it does with a VLCD, but I've been there and done that, and I just can't face it again at the moment for a number of reasons. So, Weight Watchers and exercise is the way I'm going Have been exercising regularly for a couple of years, so activity isn't a problem for me. Food is!
I weighed in for the first time on Tuesday evening, in jeans (only thing that fits :sigh: ), and was 16 st 8. I know some of that will be muscle weight and some my clothing and end of day food/fluids, etc. but nonetheless, a lot of it is fat too.
I am desperate for the first couple of stone to be gone. I am starting to feel very uncomfortable at the weight I am and know I was ok at around 14 st. Yes, a long way off an ideal weight (I'm 5ft 6), but I could manage with relative comfort. This extra couple of stone is really taking it's toll on my exercise stamina, joints, energy levels, etc. Basically, at 14 st I didn't feel my weight was limiting me. Now it is starting to again, not only physically but in terms of my self esteem also. I can't and won't let that continue! So, here goes
