So I've Just Started!

[RobinGuest]

Hi, My name's Robin and I've just started SS on the Cambridge Weight Plan. I'm on my second day and so far so good! I have a real long way to go. I want to lose about 7 stone. I think this would be a good place to write down my experience so I have it all in a safe place, should I need to look back at it. If you like to read it, I hope it's not too boring. So, here goes.

First of, why am I dieting:

1. Obviously I'm obese. This is not only effecting my health, but my head. I feel conscious about my weight all the time and feel I am immediately judged by what I look it before people even speak to me. THis saddens me some what, but alas, I guess that's a sad fact of life.

2. I have a little nephew, he's almost one! He's a wonderful little kid with such a great personality. He's just getting the idea that he wants to walk, and I know walking soon turns into running! I want to be able to enjoy running around with him. Playing in the park and what not! I don't wanna be the 'fat uncle who can't do anything'.

3. Me and my partner are planning a 3 month holiday to get away from the cold winters here in the UK. If I'm huge, I'm going to HATE sitting in the sun, and boy do I love the sun! I don't have to look perfect, I'm not expecting miracles, but I want to be confident enough to stroll about the pool without a shirt on.

4. Energy. I never have energy! So, along with quitting smoking, I plan on getting lots more energy to enjoy my life. I want to walk around without eventually feeling like i've walked a marathon!


So yes. I know why I want to lose the weight, and i'm SO motivated! Wish me luck!

I'll update again soon!

Thanks! Just wish I could get rid of this headache

Good luck, keep at it and the results will follow on there own

It's gets easier each week until it just becomes part of your routine. When I had headaches near the start I was just taking paracetamol and remmbering to keep my water up as that helps also.

The smoking I haven't been able to quit yet but the patches seem to be the most effective route unless you subscribe to the cold turkey approach, which is horrible

Today is hard =[

So I'm on to day three. Seems like nothing so far, but today has been pretty hard already! I was able to keep myself busy the past few days, but now I have nothing to do. It doesn't help that my parents/nan just left 43 easter eggs sitting about for my other family members! Just need to keep my eyes on the goal and power forward I guess. Things can only get better!

The days will get easier, days 3 & 4 will be the hardest, once you've done it you'll start feeling really good and the weight loss you achieve will be so worth not eating xx good luck x
