Weekly weigh in and a confession...

I went to get weighed again tonight. First a confession - I have not had a good couple of weeks. After my last post on the Saturday I was accompanying my sister on a drive to Stoke Newington. After a pleasant evening in a vegetarian Indian restaurant we ended up having a row and she actually called me (In the height of argument) a FAT BITCH. This really upset me and I went on a massive 'binging' session for two weeks! I am not proud of myself at all and I need to get back on track -the result of the weigh in 14 stone 8 pounds.

an update...

So far this week I have been really good and today (being the first weekend of my new regime) I haven’t been too bad (calorie-wise not nutrition-wise) I have had a skimmed milk latte, a simit with cacik and a single chocolate plus I have done a three hour belly dance rehearsal which was pretty much non -stop for the whole three hours so I did work up a good sweat –problem is I am off tonight to a South Indian vegetarian restaurant so I need to try an keep up my resolve.

Wish me luck and lots of will power….

At my first weigh in tonight I was 14 stone 7 lbs (about 196.4 lbs) - which means that overall I have about 4 stone to lose! I cannot believe that I have allowed myself to get this big!

Four stone is a big amount so I have decided to try and break this down into smaller amounts so my aim this week is to lose 3 lbs with a longer term goal of loosing a stone by my birthday in February. I will be counting points using the weight watchers plan starting tomorrow morning.

The Journey Begins...

Tonight I am a little scared...I am heading back to weight watchers after a break (not telling how long) with a view to starting a healthy lifestyle afresh. I have a lot to lose and I am under no illusions that the task will be an easy one but I am hoping that blogging (and telling others how I am doing) will help my motivation.

So what has changed? I have become fed up with opening a wardrobe full of clothes to find that nothing will fit me, I dislike going out for social events as I feel self conscious, I feel unfit and bloated, I hate catching sight of myself in reflections as I am shocked at how I look but most of all I know it is unhealthy. I am well aware that it is shortening my life, increasing my risk of all sorts of illnesses and disease and I just don't feel good.

I will be combining weight watchers points counting with other methods (hypnosis tapes, NLP ideas, supplements etc.) and I will keep you updated on my progress and motivation as the weeks go on. The weight watchers meeting is tonight at 6pm so I will go, find out the figures and let you know later how I fair. Wish me luck....
