Where Art Thou?

June 25, 2008

Where is everyone? Comments have died!!!! If you’re reading please leave a comment as they really help!

I just re-signed to wwonline. I have been trying to diet this week and been semi-ok until I binged last night. I HAVE to get this weight off, no two ways, so I am back on wwonline where I can input as I go and get obsessed in doing so and hopefully get right back into it.

This week I have made a concerted effort to get out and about so that I lessen my depression and it is helping. I am still down but not dispairing quite so much. Amazing what sunshine and exercise can do for your mind, isn’t it?

So anyway, day 1 of ww and I am 14.13. I’ll feel successful with a 3 stone loss, satisfied with a 4 stone loss and happy with a 5 stone loss. But at the moment, if I can get through to next week and have lost a few pounds then I will be estatic. I need to get to 13.6 for my first 10%

Counting Down the Days

June 24, 2008

weight goals and aims I am still not feeling great, but I am at least a little more positive today. I have been good with food all day and my body feels ‘cleaner’ for it. I also went for two walks in the sunshine this afternoon and that has really helped, I think.

I have started using my fitday PC programme again. I don’t really log food in it as being an American programme it is too ardous to type in all my English foods from scratch, but it is a very useful tool in tracking my weightloss and measurements. As you can see I have set myself a new goal. I am putting my past weightloss down as a completed challenge and starting afresh today. If I aim for a loss of 2lb per week by Christmas I can be within the normal healthy range. That is in less than 6 months. I can be normal before the year is out! Seeing it this clearly is spuring me on.

I have made a decision to get some kind of exercise every day for seven days and see if that improves my mood. I am also going to keep eating well and writing everything down. I know I have been here before and said this stuff one too many times but I have to keep trying. I have to just remember that this is within my reach, all it takes is a bit of effort and concentration on my part.

I wrote about feeling so down constantly and I know the last time I felt like this weightloss is what turned my life around so I know what I have to do. At least this time I have half the distance to go that I had the first time around and I can reach goal much quicker. In 26 weeks. Half a year exactly.
