Here I am once again :wave_cry:
Anyone remember me from my little venture onto sw before?
Anyway I gained 3.5lbs over xmas after losing 2.5lbs on propoints and decided that i just didnt want to do ww anymore so here i am.
Start weight is now 11.6.
I will update this with my last few days food (day 4 today) but its not been brilliant as have eaten too many chocs and not been 100% accurate with counting but at least i tried.
RANDOM RANT< PLEASE SKIP!>
Tonight i watched a bit of 'why are tin people not fat' which was really interesting. It confirmed what i recently read about maintaining where your body knows its natural weight (the weight it is used to, either overweight or thin) and this is why its SO hard to lose and keep off and also hard for thin people to gain weight and keep it on. Your body kind of knows it can survive at that weight and so wants to keep you there where it knows it can survive, so will so all it can to keep you there.
Losing is hard but maintaining is meant to be even harder, im only thinking about this because i dont want to bother losing weight if i will gain it back again, id rather stay as i am and avoid the hassel and upset. But i want to lose weight, so i have to keep it off. I know my body does, and will, fight me all the way but what else can i do? Stay this way? not the most appealing option. So i would rather try, and keep trying and for it to be hard than to not bother and just be unhappy with myself. When i think about myself or see myself, i dont feel bad about myself very often. I dont really see myself as fat, but i did take some photos of myself as before's and they really where horrific. I must remeber to look at them anytime i feel like i might binge or eat something crappy. I dont want to look like that anymore. So heres to losing weight!
COME ON!
