Apple-aid: The final goodbye :)

[overtherainbow]

Oh dear. Its the new year, and here I am again, fatter than I have ever been before, feeling like a person who is attached to a giant tummy. I feel ugly, I feel blah, and I feel horrible, I don't feel like myself, at all. I have no money to do food shopping as I spent waaay too much at Christmas, and I won't have any more for another 5 days. So I am not sure exactly how I am even going to manage this straight away, but I know something has to be done with urgency. I want to be a UK size 10 for summer.

I weigh 15 stone 7, which is 217 pounds, 95.8 kilos. I'm 5 foot 9, and my waist is 37.5 inches.

Sob, sob, and sob again.

Aw.

Well, as long as you have a pulse you have the capacity for change. Try to keep your chin up and get to work on it as best as you can. Get a little more exercise and eat a little less food and see how that goes for a month.

I realize this is about the hardest thing in the world to do, but try not to get your opinion of yourself too tied into how you feel about how you look. We all do it and a little bit of it is healthy, but nothing about your weight means there's anything major wrong with you. Knew a very pretty (and thin) girl in my 20s who did about as much emotional damage to me as one can do and never seemed to care one bit about it. I started to pack on the pounds close to right after that, so I'm choosing to blame her for it . You're a better person than her, for sure.

I'd tell you that sunny days will be here again soon, but since you're in England, that might not be true. Take a short holiday to Spain for that.

I know this feeling quite well. But you turn all these negative emotions into motivations. Every negative thing you can think of is another good reason to start and continue that diet.
I do it myself. I remember almost needing help to get out of a comfortable chair - it was so hard if I did it alone. I remind me of this every time I go to the gym and every time I get out of one alone. I remember being winded whenever I got close to some stairs. I remember eating everything that I could get my hands on. I remember having to have a set of spare buttons for pants because they broke so often, and I remember many other things like that. Each and every thing is a reason for me to keep on my diet. If they happen less, it's a double reason to stay on my diet.
I'm sure that that size ten is a good goal, so start today.
