Fresh start

A few weeks ago I went to the doctors for a prescription and he mentioned the topic of my weight and being too heavy...I was mortified!

He insisted that I get blood tests done to make sure all was working ok – the results came back yesterday and I am fine!

Everything is in working order – I was glad but also made me think that there is nothing holding me back but me! I am overweight because I eat too much and move too little!

He has now referred me to a nutrition and weight management course through the NHS – 8 weeks and will include 1-2-1 sessions as well. I am hoping it will be a push I need to get me out of this rut I am so comfortable in.

I started a diary last night – I am going to use it to log my weight and measurements, top tips, diary of my thoughts – good and bad on when I binge or resist a binge.... basically to help me figure out why I do what I do.

Wish me luck = this is my fresh start

I have set myself a few mini goals to work towards and feel really positive today. xx

    That's pretty cool he set you up with NHS especially with the 1 on 1 sessions. Good Luck!!! I Wish You the Best. You can add me if you want. :wink:

    Good luck! Why not use MFP as your recording tool, it allows you to track everything your doctor wants and there's a notes section for daily thoughts plus the blogs.

    Yes will be using MFP for food tracking for sure - but need something more personal as I have a lot of emotional issues surrounding food and the battle of to binge or not to binge!

    This way I will have something to focus on in the evenings when I may have an urge.....

    Will definitely keep on here too though - thank you

    Wishing you all the best, it's so hard when you put the weight back on, I'm the same last year I lost 21lbs and have put back on 8 of those and it's hard to get motivated again. But I have started walking again so I'm hoping this will get the weight moving once more. Please add me if you'd like some more support I know that I could do with some more friends on here to get me motivated!

    Take care and good luck, Angie
