New Start - I will do this !!!

jobloggs2017

I am 38 and the heaviest that I have ever been. Even heavier than when I was pregnant. I am miserable, uncomfortable and my confidence is at an all time low. I have a complete lack of energy. Everytime I look in the mirror or at photo's all I see is my double chin and belly. I deal with it through humour and try and laugh about it to cover up how truly miserable I am. But I am desperate to change.

Danger Zone -
I emotional binge eat. If something goes wrong I head for the cupboard. I head for convenience foods when I feel tired. Particularly Fridays and Saturdays. I find chosing things for packed lunch really hard. And need to take packed lunch 4x week. I dont like excersice, it makes me hot and sweaty and I get very itchy and red faced; All the gear and no idea! I get easily discouraged. If I don't lose one week, I get dissapointed and think what's the point!

Good points -
Pretty organised, like planning.
Don't drink alcohol
Enjoy cooking from scratch.

Goals-

I want to set a good example to my children.

I want to be feel comfortable in my body.

I want to have more energy and not feel so tired and sore.

I want to be healthy.

Commitments-

Tomorrow (Saturday) -

Research some healthy meal choices and do an online shop. Also to look into exercise classes.

Sunday-
Weigh myself take photos and to start a diary of my weight.

Ongoing -
I will use this thread to update with meals that I have made each day to keep me accountable.

I can do it !

Hey, how are you doing?? Rooting for you, and hoping you’ll keep checking in. The goal is more good days then bad days, there’s no such thing as failure. We learn, grow, and keep going.
