in Introduce Yourself
Hi peeps, :flowerforyou:

This is pretty big step for me… I am usually pretty shy and am very private person. I never used to be and I think that it may be worse than the excess weight!! So is pretty scary putting myself out there. But here it goes...

I started on MFP in January. Was pretty quiet and kept myself to myself and managed to lose just over 10kg between January and April when we went home, I knew that I wouldn't be able to maintain the momentum whilst catching up with friend and family - was 5 solid weeks of dinners out with wine & lunches out with more wine & BBQs and beer and nibbles and vino in the evenings. I managed to keep to eating quite well and we were active while we were away but the regime was pretty much kaput by the time we got back.

SO BACK TO IT!!

It is also now time, I think address the shyness and get back to the person that I used to be...

I have a fair way to go… wish me luck x

:blushing:

    Stuff that has worked for me has been little things like getting off the bus a stop or three before I need to and walking more but then bigger things like not saying no to things. I think when some people diet they say "I'm going to ban this, this this and this!" and if it's something you really enjoyed before, why not still have it but control it better? I think - with me anyway - as soon as I say "I'm not allowed chocolate from now on" all I'll think about is chocolate and want it even more! I'm sure you'll find your own tips and tricks as you get back into it though, and do share! :bigsmile:

    I am exactly the same!! I can go weeks if not months without chocolate until I decide I am 'on a diet' then I can't do anything until I have it!! Strange hey!?!

    Good advice about the bus stop too... may need to have a look at the routes and see if I can get a better one for that!

    :wink:
