i have posted on the newbie forum but due to some really good advice, im starting a diary here. For those of you that dont know me yet, im a 42 year old american living in england. I have been around 250 pounds for about 5 years, but being in england for the last 7 months and falling madly in love with their fish and chips, i have gained 46 pounds. So much of the food over here is fried.. which i love, but sure doesnt love me... and omg the chips over here... i dont know if its the diff kind of taters or what, but i could and have eaten them 3 meals a day, 7 days a week..
i have lots of reasons for wanting to lose weight.. i want to feel better, i want to look better..it's becoming hard to walk, and i refuse to let myself get bedridden cause i like soda and french fries ...i have been to a dr. recently, and am told im pretty healthy for being morbidly obese, and i got to thinking that the odds of stayin that way are pretty slim..most of my reasons are for me and me alone.. however there are other reasons i want to lose weight.. the biggest is my husband.. he and i met about 5 years ago on an online game called Everquest.. we played together for almost two years, then he flew from england to oregon to meet me, we got married 6 days later, and are working on 3 years now.. he loves me the way i am, and says the only thing about my weight that worries him are the health probs i could develope from it. my being soooo fat makes me feel bad for him... he is 11 years younger than me, and i get to go to bed each night with someone i love with all my heart, as well as am attracted to physically... i just want the same for him.. he says he is already... but is hard for me to understand that since there isnt a whole lot about me that i think is attractive atm. also because im older than him, i dont wanna get 'old before my time' and not be able to continue having a full marriage and be able to do things together. so, to sum it all up, i want to lose a min of 100 pounds.. im pretty big boned, and have huge boobs (which stay the same size whether im 130 lbs or 295), so at 195 ill look pretty good.. at least i did before
i started watching my portions and exersizing two days ago, and have lost three pounds so far.. mainly water im sure... granted i have really not been eating enough, but i just wanted to shrink my stomach a lil for the first few days so smaller portions wont bother me as much.. im drinking bucketloads of water, in fact that is why im up at 2am on this pc... lots of water before bed is NOT condusive to a good nights sleep lol.
well, here is what i ate today:
half a choch chip cookie
two slices of bacon
two peices of white bread
banana
and about 1/2 cup of beef stew ( home made)
1/2 pint of lager
about 3 oz of coke.. had to have a taste)
tomorrow im gonna start with cerial.. i read somewhere that eating cereal in the am.. fiber cerial will help you lose weight as well as make you feel fuller during the day... thanks for reading, and wish me luck, as i do all of you
