Hi, just joined on here about 5 min ago, after having a little read through. You all seem a good support and very nice people :grouphug:

So here is my dilema :nopity:

Ok i am 26 years old, about 2 stone over weight, 5"3 and weight about 11st. It has been a manic 3 years for me physicaly and emotionally. Between having 2 children (one c-section, and one natural) and losing my mum 2 yrs ago and my dad just a few weeks ago, my motivation is completly down! To be honest i dont think i have had any motivation since mum died and not really taken care of myself since.
I have a set date to give up smoking next week, so there is also a journey to go through with that. But what i am trying to say where the hell do i start??? I want to turn my life completly around, become slimmer, fitter and smoke free.

I know there is no majic wand but i would just love some guidance to help. (Normally i woud go to my mum and dad for all of that!)

Advice, tips or pointed in the right direction would be so appriciated.

I am so very sorry for my bad spelling :eek:
 
read this article and thought it might help a little

....An interesting article I read on eating just a smaller plate full but more often. I had my doubts but tried it and actually felt less hungry than i would do normally at the same time later after a bigger meal. Something to do with the stomach expanding and staying expanded if you eat a big meal all at once. So a smaller meal wierdly means I'm less hungry later. Almonds help too and I love them! They suppress the appetite a bit (just 5 or 6 in the morning. You can read it at fatburnersblog.com

You poor thing. I'm so sorry to hear about all you've gone thru. I'm suprised you aren't 10st overweight by now and smoking 3 packs a day!

I've got a hell of a lot of weight to lose but have just come to the end of my tether. The reality of losing weight is everything in moderation but we all know it isn't as easy as all that.

My hubby and I have just started slimfast. We decided we needed a kick start and this has helped. He lost 6lbs last week and I lost 5lbs so that has really helped us feel motivated.

Good luck.

Hello Saphy and welcome to the forum!!!
:party:

I could feel your panic in your post--just breathe ;) Most important aspect to succeeding at anything..breathing ;) Actually we can change the chemistry in our brains by just slowing down and deep breathing --it works miracles ;)

I hope you keep coming back to the forum and allow us the priviledge of travelling with you on your new journey to be smokefree and slimmer ;)

I quit over 4 months ago myself..I was a chronic relapser--ohh man it was the toughest addiction to overcome and I have had a few ;)
I'm proud of myself today and no longer crave at all.

Everyone is different and what works for me may not work for anyone else.
I am on a high protien eating plan..I get my carbs from my vegetables. It works for me because it is simple to follow and I can easily keep my way of eating when I go out to eat.

You have taken the first step here with us--just keep walking forward --one step at a time..one day at a time--it truly does get better.

If I can help in anyway just give me a hollar and remember my friend--your Mum would want you living large and loving yourself..she would never have wanted you to die along with her.

Warmest supportive hugs to you and you can do it!!!!
