Ok so I now weigh 15st 3lb which is the heaviest I’ve ever been!
I am unhappy with how I look, seeing lovely clothes and know that they will either look awful on, or they won’t have my size (16/18) but the main reason I want to lose weight is because I know I am unhealthy! I’m tired all the time, lazy and even a short walk leaves me breathless!
I sit and moan and I’m unhappy about it all but that is just unproductive and will achieve nothing. Moaning to my friends gets me nowhere!
So on Wednesday 4th November I started Weight Watchers.
Now I’ve done Weight Watchers before and don’t get me wrong for the first few weeks I was on a role, but as with every other “diet” I did, life got in the way.
So why Weight Watchers again this time?
Well I’ve tried multiple diets, shakes, drinks, you name it; they just weren’t for me! I just find it hard to be so disciplined. What I like about Weight Watchers is that you can eat what you want as long as you track it. Ok that’s a pretty simplistic view, I wouldn’t live on McDonalds and think “oh as long as I track it, i’ll be fine“, but it fits in with my lifestyle!
My job takes me on the road a lot, different events week to week; Now I know the trick to any “diet” is planning, but sometimes it’s just not feasible. Excuse? No, I’m being honest!
What’s going to be different?
This! Whenever I’ve done a “diet” I’ve not really told anyone, sure a few friends, my husband, but I’ve always been embarrassed about admitting I’m on a “diet”. This probably sounds stupid, but in my heart there was something which always holds me back telling people because I know I would end up failing. I’m also quite a bubbly outgoing person, I rarely reveal what I’m thinking or my feelings and when I’m down people can usually tell immediately. This is another reason why I don’t like people knowing.
So I’ve decided to start this blog, if nobody reads it that’s fine, to be honest its for me. I need to start taking control of my life again. For me this blog won’t just be about weight loss, it’s going to be about my journey to becoming a happy healthier person. Corney eh? Yes, probably, but I got married this year and turned 30, and whilst my relationship and home life (bar the laziness and unhealthiness) is great, work and my heatlh are not.
For me this blog will just give me a chance to air my thoughts and get things of my chest! There will be good things and probably bad things but I am confident that this will help!
That’s it for now. I’m going to put the laptop down, try and see if I can sync my
Polar Watch to the Weight Watchers App (both handy tools which i’ll talk about next time) and then head to the gym!
Bye for now!
