Spark Of Lightning! - My Diary

[Lightning86]

Well after a nice member of this forum advised me to start a diary on here I decided to give it ago

Todays really the day before the start of my new slimming life, I'm not sure what to expect or what will come of it but I have an idea of what I would like.

My moods abit on the downside today, Not really feeling very positive but I have decided to have a nice hot bath, climb into bed and put a Lavander and Lemon Yankee Candle Melt on which should go in the direction of making me feel better.

Got work in the morning which to some extent I am looking forward to, I work as a Carer in a Residential Home so it's pretty much like a workout while I work lol.

Luckly I have Sunday off to recover haha, But I am seeing some family on Sunday which I haven't seen in a long time so kinda nervous and yet very excited

My weight at the moment is 213.4 and my Goal weight is 165.0, But my first Mini Goal is 210.0 then 205.0 and so on

Won't be as scary if I set myself small goals

I have a Wii fit+, Biggest Loser Wii and a Stepper Machine so I'm all set for equipment at home, I'm on my feet 90% of the day at work so thats a bonus I just need to be carful what I eat/drink as I've been a sucker for fizzy pop at work mainly Pepsi as it's always on offer....

But I will stick with fruit teas, dilute juice and water!
I must admit I do like Fruit Tea alot so in theory I could make some, let it cool and waalaa lovely tasteing juice for me!

I will avoid the deserts at work bigtime as they tend to be VERY sugar heavy! and I will not snack during the day, Just have my set meals and I was told not to eat after 8pm which I intend to stick to!

If I get that hungry after 8 surely a cuppa soup will be fine til breakfast!

As for Breakfast I will no longer skip it, I bought some porridge today and I do love porridge I just never had it in, I also prefer to make it with water so thats a bonus, maybe a small spoon of honey for sweetness or small amount of sugar, half a small spoon maybe?

Anyway I will update this tomorrow when I get home from work.

Feeling much better for writing this

Hello and welcome to the diary world
Writing a diary really helps me stay focused, wish I had done it before on one of my countless diets

You are making some really good decisions there, and being motivated is half the battle. For hunger pangs at night, I would imagine a cup a soup would be okay, or a bowl of cereal, fresh fruit sald prepared and 'waiting in the fridge' for emergencies!

You will find lots of friendly support and advice on here, I look forward to reading your diary, good luck and have a lovely weekend

Hi Lightning86

How are you? I started a diary too but broke my healthy eating plan so much that I gave it up - I was too ashamed to post it! I don't think people want read how many twix bars I ate or what a pig I was with half a pack of digestives! At the moment I'm battling a binge habit but have done ok today. I think I will copy you and have a blob or two of porridge now before I find something sweet and unhealthy

Best of luck Pomooky XX

Ok so I haven't posted daily like I'd like to but things have taken up my time and I haven't really had chance to get online.

Checked my weight today around 11am and!!!! 203.4Lbs! I'm feeling quite good about my loss thats 10lbs down

I've also routed my eatting problem down to bordem eatting!
So I am trying to do things to cut down bordem, Playing Video Games, Walking, Reading etc and it really seems to stop the cravings of wanting naughty foods!

Every now and again I still have a treat but not regular

Also started to pamper myself a bit, I am currently typing this while wearing a face mask lol!

I've also started dating someone, Not putting too much into it at the moment as it's still very new and I don't wanna build my hopes up but I'm staying positive about the future.

I have had some pizza to eat today but again that was a treat not a common thing
