weight loss

Hi Puss.in.boots, Yay to the MUST STOP NOW..bit!!
In reality it will be a bit of slow..quick..slow..journey...in other words it wont happen overnight and certainly not in one fell swoop!
Try giving yourself achievable mini goals so that you have something to be pleased about as you get to each one. Try thinking of yourself in a more positive way... you CAN do this..you are a proper person in your own right.
Now..deep breath in and get weaving on making that new you come true!!
All the very best to you... :wavey:
 
Thank you Emmaline and well done on your weightloss so far.
I'm probably not alone in this, but there are days when I can't bear being me.
When I think of myself, I have this me (mind, who I feel I am) and then there is this other person (my image as reflected in the mirror and as others see me).
You saying that I'm a proper person in my own right makes me think about the way I think about myself.
I don't think I see myself as whole, as one person..

Yes, the journey will be slow. These are habbits of 2 decades that I'm trying to conquer and change. I've never tried writing a public weight loss diary. I hope it helps.
 
Hey Puss in Boots, welcome to Minimins!

Writing a diary is definitely one of the best things to do when you're trying to lose weight. Just writing down your daily habits helps you to understand your diet more, and it's a great help to re-read your own posts when you're feeling down and ready to reach for that snack as it's a reminder of why you're doing this in the first place.

Keep us up to date with how you're getting on, and if you need any motivation, any of us will be happy to cheer you on :) x
 
Thank you, tweekedgirl. Your weight loss is fantastic especially as your start weight is similar to mine.. though you're a few inches taller!

First day has been fine. Didn't cheat. I know with time my appetite will suppress so it will get even better carbs and calorie wise.
I'm doing primal (some full fat dairy, vegetables, fruit, meat, some oils, a little dark chocolate, nuts).
Spoke to my boyfriend about not bringing alcohol home. He's been good about it .. hope it lasts!
So far so good. Although I didn't get much exercise today. Must make up for it in the week.
 
feeling emotional and "odd" today.. not only am i detoxing my body from certain foods i'm also not drinking. I found it hard to fall asleep last night.. but I know by the end of the week I'll feel much more alert and comfortable. I feel like I'm in a fog. SO TIRED. Resisted weighing myself this morning. Will weigh Next monday.
I need to go out... I really would rather just hide...until this fat melts away.
I hope the weather gets colder so I can cover up in a big coat. I want to be invisible.
