Hope you dont mind but i feel the need to write down my thoughts as i head towards goal.
This is my last restart. Last year I lost 3 and a half stone, got to a much better place but became complacent, didnt get to goal and piddled about for months buying products, using them along side nibbling, picking, socialising etc and so have put a stone on.
I hadnt seen my CDC since beginning of March until Tuesday morning last week I had had enough of clothes getting tight again and i woke up feeling positive and wanted to get back on the wagon. I had a few packs left so emailed my CDC to say i was going to give it a go again. She asked my round that afternoon for a 'new start' chat and weigh in. So far i havent looked back.
We have a good social life, we like to have our drinks and nibbles with friends but I really realise now that I am going to have a battle with my weight for life and its only me that can win it for me.
My OH works nights and even though i have kids i miss the company of an adult all the time. I have been drinking wine more and more and easily finish a bottle of wine to myself any night of the week. That in itself is bad enough but with every glass i seek comfort with crisps, cheese etc and so my weight, skin, health has suffered. I was waking up most mornings feel yuck and with a demanding job it was taking me til 11am coffee break to feel human again. Yes, drink was starting to take hold of me and its not a slippery slope i want to slide on. There, thats the first time i've admitted it out loud and i feel better for it. I've known it for some time, I dont feel its anything i need to get councilling for, i just need to be the stronger partner in the relationship between me and Chardonnay!
So, to the present moment, Day 6 and i'm feeling good, the sun is shining i've been sleeping well all week. I'm not feeling the need to eat although i always feel hungry. I dont know if i can make it to target but everyday is a fresh challenge.
Bit of a ramble i'm afraid, I am not writing this for any reason other than me needing to do it for me. I am hoping that this is the only negative sounding post i put in here!
Good luck to everyone on their journey.
