Hi everyone,
I'm new and I thought i'd try this diary as a way of possibly inspiring myself to continue. I am 25. I am 5'4" and weigh 16st 9lbs. So here goes. These are the reasons I want to lose weight:
1. I's embarrased by the way I look
2. I'd love to be able to fit into nicer clothes
3. Even though my boyfriend tells me he loves me the way i am, I'd like to make him proud of me
4. So far my kids are the correct shape but i dont want them thinking oh sod it - i'll be like mum when i'm older
I have failed at many many attempts at dieting. I love my food. So on Wednesday I joined a gym. I'm actually enjoying it more than i thought. I have one child at primary school and one who is 15 months, so it's actually nice to put him in the creche and spend an hour in the gym - it's "me" time and i dont get much of that. So my main plan is to stick to going to the gym but i'd also like to start eating better. I think my main problem with food is how much i eat and how late it is when i eat it. We normally have so much to do with the kids and the dogs that we only end up eating late on in the evening (9/10pm) and sometimes (too often) when it gets to that time we cant be bothered and just order a pizza. No good at that time of night.
Weekend evenings are normally spent with our friends having a drink and then ordering a takeaway - both i know are very bad. If i eat before we go round i know i'll still end up ordering something with the rest of them. I just cant say no - i dont have the will power.
I have done well so far today. I am normally too busy during the day to eat much and the same applies today and all i've had is a banana. I've spent an hour in the gym today as well. I know i'm not going to be able to go tomorrow because i have no one to have the kids for me and the creche is not open. So that's a negative point.
I will plod on. Plan to weigh myself weekly on a Friday. Here goes ...........
