ProPoints Tinyshoes hoping for a slimmer/happier future!

[tinyshoes]

Hi everyone! I have an old diary on this site somewhere but to be honest it was probably full of negative comments about myself/my life and also full of lots of excuses for going off plan etc so have decided to start a brand new one!

I'm married, 33, no children but 2 dogs - one an old lady and one a puppy I'm generally a negative person when it comes to me, and have not been happy at all for the last year or so (prob alot longer, but tried to ignore it!) I am now the heaviest I have been in 9 years and I feel disgusted with myself to put it bluntly! The fact I have put this weight on is a reflection that I am an emotional eater, and eat when lonely/feeling unloved/unappreciated etc. Anyway I am now trying to get back to a weight I feel comfortable with, and trying to focus on the positives in life instead of the negatives, with regards to myself, my marriage/hubby, work, family etc. Fed up of feeling chubby and miserable.

I have followed WW a few times and 7 years ago was at my lowest weight of 9.10 when I met my hubby. So I know I can stick to the plan and lose weight, I just need to get my head and heart back in the zone!! I started again last week and have lost 2lbs this week so a good start Long may it continue!! I will aim for 1lb a week and anything on top of that is a bonus. I hate exercise haha, but am going to hopefully get back into Zumba, and I walk the pup most nights although only for 20-30 mins at the mo coz she is so young.

Here goes, wish me luck! If you see I have pointed anything wrong or just have any general comments or advice, please feel free to share

I do not go to class am just doing this at home, WI at the mo is Friday morning but that may change. Although I WI Friday, my weekly points run Monday - Sunday as I started last Monday. I guess they should even themselves out anyway.

Tuesday 28th Feb
Pleased with myself for yesterday, felt like could have snacked and snacked last night but I didn't, I made myself iron (booooooooo hiss hate it) instead! Half my problem is loneliness/boredom eating so need to keep busier at night, the other half of my problem is lack of motivation right now! Really wanna go back to Zumba, but bit scared about going on my own lol. Would also like to get into Aquafit, but again, worried about going on my own, and also worried about getting my thighs out in public!! I would be mortified if I saw someone I knew, how daft does that sound?!

Wednesday 29th Feb

Disaster (aka fish n chips!) avoided last night! Opted for the healthiest thing I could have from that takeaway which was a small chicken kebab with no sauce, and only ate a tiny bit of the pitta bread so am hoping won't impact any loss I may have this week! Fingers crossed. I need to up my fruit/veg tho as compared to last week I am not doing so well. And keep forgetting to have my Green Tea straight after I have eaten which is the only time I can drink it without feeling sick for some reason, so need to remember that as well! Not as well organised this week lacking motivation! MUST find motivation from somewhere lol - all suggestions on a postcard please.....

Wow, another month gone and still hardly any Christmas weight lost! That is gonna change this month for definite! Had a really bad night last night with hubby, he doesn't like it when I have my own opinion that is different to his, women should be seen and not heard kind of attitude sometimes grrr. Anyway I almost resorted to eating the Malteasers bunny AND Galaxy Ripple I have in the cupboard - I had them both in my hand......and then made myself put them back!! Phew, another food disaster avoided lol. Men!!! Think I have the 7 year itch going on coz right now I just feel like bailing out. Anyway, back to the subject, today's food:

Friday 2nd March
WI this morning and am disappointed as I have sts this week! Don't really understand why I haven't lost anything coz I have stuck to points within my weeklies, refused fish and chips, put chocolate back in the cupboard after wanting to eat it, and for nothing! Only different thing I can think is I haven't eaten quite as much veg this week, and have had between 28-30 points a day whereas last week I was having 31-33, but I should only be on 26 so I wouldn't think that should affect it adversely! Anyway am gonna try hard to keep my motivation this next week. Maybe have lost half a lb and my scales don't show that, I'll cling to that thought lol.

Love your diary. I've not tried green tea yet, Im not a hot drink fan lol

 

[tinyshoes]

Love your diary. I've not tried green tea yet, Im not a hot drink fan lol

Aw thank you! I'm not a fan of green tea at all, I keep trying it again and try to convince myself I like it lol. I can't drink the plain green tea I have to have the flavoured ones and add sweetener. Also I find it makes me feel really sick unless I drink it straight after I have eaten something, don't know why?! Sorry if tmi lol. If you wanted to try it you could make it and leave it to cool. Don't use boiling water as it makes it even more bitter yuck! Anyway thanks for reading and commenting

 

[lisa2]

I try to drink green tea too lol its vile! I bought one with honey in which isn't too bad....its the last mouthful that I find the worse! Lol

Same here! I always make a 'sour face' after I've had the last mouthful lol :jelous: The best one I've tried is the one with Apple & Pear, but even then I have to force it down!

Monday 5th March
Didn't get on here again at the weekend to update, I counted everything and I did end up a little over my weeklies unfortunately, but did lots of walking so am hoping will cancel it out lol. Loosely worked out my AP's from last week and weekend and it covered the extra I think. Gonna be hard to stay focused this week as I always find it hard after sts coz I think what is the point? I can eat most things I want and sts anyway. BUT I will really try hard and think about the long term rather than just one disappointing week. Still lost 2lbs in 2 weeks I guess. Am gonna try alternating higher and lower points coz this has helped in the past.

Ooh, your dinner tonight sounds yummy. Have a good day!x

Thanks, I love it, usually have a smaller version of this for Sunday brekkie (minus the sausages/toms/mushrooms). Hoping it will cheer me up after docs, although really once it's over it's over isn't it. It's worse thinking about it all day well, then waiting for results which is horrible after you've had bad ones in the past. Thanks for reading and commenting, you have a good day too

 

[kmmh58]

Best of luck with the doctors today.

Ur dinner looks lovely night.

 

[WhitePigeon]

Ooh, hope the doctors goes okay - it's horrible waiting for results. xx
