I tell myself everyday to stop making excuses about being overweight.
My grandad died at the beginning of september which is what prompted me to start cambridge, food did not make the pain go away, my grandad had his first heart attack when he was in his 40's which weakened his heart. He was 16 and a half stone and obesity and heart problems run in my family and altho he got his weight down into a healthy range he had 3 more heart attacks then a stroke a couple of years ago which he never really recovered from and what finally finished him off, he was 87 when he died, all the women in my family on my mum's side are big women who seem to put on weight so easily and seem to have difficulty losing weight. My grandad dying davastated me and I am 35 next april, So I have all the excuses in the world to just to except that genetically I am disposed to be obese but i find myself telling myself daily that i have a choice that I could eat unhealthy food or stick to a weightloss plan, I decided that with the help of cambridge and a higher plan, losing 1/2lbs a week is better than nothing at all. I admire you girls who can stick to SS and SS+100%, because I just can't so I allow myself enough food to bump it up to between 810/1000 and i have found I can stick to this happily and the days don't seem to be so long. Also i have started doing my nails creatively as it seems to keep my mind occupied.
SO NEXT TIME YOU FIND YOURSELF PHONING UP TO ORDER A TAKEAWAY OR HUNTING OUT SOME CHOCOLATE (OR WHATEVER YOUR COMFORT FOOD IS) JUST ASK YOURSELF WHY ARE YOU MAKING EXCUSES TO EAT IT, WHY ARE YOU JUSTIFYING IT TO YOURSELF - JUST WISE UP AND SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE YOU DO IT, ALL THE REGRETS IN THE WORLD CANT TURN BACK THE TIME ONCE YOU HAVE DONE IT
