Hi there,
Millionth attempt at Slimming World/Heathly Eating/Project Size 12! I've decided to call this my 'up and down' diary as that's the kind of person that I am, I have really up days and really down days but try to help myself as much as I can (its an ongoing war between me and my fridge!).
I've recently decided to go down the self-help book route, never really been into this before but am always willing to try anything to lose weight and sort myself out food-wise. The two that I have found most helpful are 'Overcoming Weight Problems' (the author of which escapes me) and 'Eating Less: Say Goodbye to Overeating' by Gillian Riley, both of which are fantastic, I got both out from the library and brought myself a new notepad and pretty pens, read them over the course of about 8 weeks by dipping in and out alongside the normal books I read, making notes on passages I felt relevant to me, writing down inspirational quotes etc and points to remember. I really feel that I've learned a lot from them and can recommend the 'back to basics' approach to really eating healthily and adressing over-eating issues. I thought I'd got both licked but both of these books have taught me that I'm not half as clever as I think I am.
I've also recently enjoyed Gymophobics and am liking the changes in my body that I've noticed over the past few weeks. I'm just under 13st now and determined not to see the number 13 again, I'm boycotting the scales in my bathroom and considering hiding them in the loft, at the moment I'm weighing in at the gym every week or so which helps me worry about it less.
All in all I'm enjoying life at the moment and looking forward to getting this weight off once and for all and becoming a much healthier happier person.
