Miraclemakers - a miracle is what i need!

[miraclemaker]

Where Do I start! I suppose I should just introduce myself, my name is Kelly and I have been a minims lurker for a while(about a year). Have to say reading all your diaries, does put some inspiration my way.
Thought I would start a diary to keep me and my brain focused. I apologise for the rambling now..lol.
So been 30 has and morbidly obese made me decided to change a few things – hence the S&S diet. I have read so many great things about it, I thought I would take the plunge and join in myself. I have a lot of weight to loose, and one of the main things that made me realise I had to so something was reading the post of “you know you have lost weight when…” This post made me laugh and also made me realise that I wanted all those things. I need to get my head out of the sand and face up to what I need to do. Another motivation part from my health is holidays and weddings. Would love to be able to go and buy a dress not worrying that I look like a tent or if they do my size!. Go on holiday and not worry about the plane, can I fit in the seat and will the seatbelt fit!
So I am in Day 3 of the diet, and I have a minor slip up on Wednesday, but still carrying on. I figured I will mess up once or twice, but just draw that line and start again. Day one was fine, day 2 banging headache all day, today ok…….for now!
My problem is I eat when I i'm bored, I eat too many carbs but now I have this to distract me. Been the weight I am, which is 21[SUP] [/SUP]stone I need a little miracle and a lot of dedication.
Anyway, enough of me going on. I will be posting most days, and even though I read most diaries on here, I may start to comment know you know who I am lol

Well the weekend is over and I know its Tuesday but my weekend is sunday and monday really. There was a few wobbles but nothing that should destroy my WI which is tomorrow evening.:sigh:

Cleaned out my clothes too, some of the stuff i have is shocking.....why would i ever wear that!! lol
Anyway makes me more determined to buy nice new things.

Trying to set myself mini goals - any idea's would be greatly appreciated.x

hiya and well done getting to day 4 (?) the hardest part is nearly over .. I bet you are excited about weigh in Mini goals are a great idea , I find they keep you motivated more ... when I started I had 8 stone to loose and that is a huge goal and very daunting .. but making small goals that you will achieve often helps keep you focussed I made goals like - get through an hour , get through a day , 1 week , 2 weeks , loose 1 stone , loose 1 dress size etc ...... I am sure you will do brilliantly xx

Hello Determinator, you have done so well in your stats. I find it really hard to think that i can loose this much weight - hence why i think smaller goals will help. I am on Day 6 now and tomorrow is my WI. Reading peoples journeys om here helps so much, i can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks for your advice, will set smaller goals as 98 pound to lose is daunting! lol x
