Hello lovely people!
I have decided to start a brand new diary! I have had my old one since I joined Minis nearly 2 years ago, but I am needing a fresh start, so it's being retired.
Since I first joined SW in July 2014 I have lost 4 stone, well, technically it's 3 stone as I have put on a stone since January. I am super proud of what I have achieved so far, but I seem to got stuck in a rut. 2016 has been a horrible year. It started off well, got myself a boyfriend and life seemed to be going well for a change. Now 5 months later my relationship is difficult as his dad died and I haven't seen him for weeks, as quite rightly, he is with his family over 200 miles away. But I don't know if we are going to get through this. I am at a point with my job where I need to leave as it is causing me stress, unfortunately it is things that can't be changed, so I need to leave. Also having issues with my brother which is causing a lot of worry and concern. I have felt very low over the last 3 months, cried a lot and just been a miserable cow.
So now, I have gone back to SW after being away for a year, more to make sure things don't spiral too much out of control. Out of 4 weigh ins I have gained twice, and lost once, maintained once. Every week I have good intentions, but every week I end up drinking too much or buying pizza plus snacks for a Friday night. I just haven't been able to get back into the swing of it. It's not as if I can't do it, 3 stone gone says I can. But there is something in my brain that I seem unable to control, it's like an autopilot that sends me to the pizza and wine and all the bad stuff in the supermarket.
This week I am not worrying about SW, my aims are to avoid pizza and make healthier choices. I am hoping that if have an aim a week then I will rediscover some inspiration.
If you have read this, thank you! I can't guarantee I'll update regularly, but I will make sure I do at least once a week, even if I am talking to myself
