So here goes... AGAIN.
I'm not very good at losing weight, even with all the amazign support I have received on here.
So.. new user/profile, new name, new "identity".
There will only be a select few who will get to know who I really am/was and to the rest of you I'm Lylitu/Lilly if you like.
No that's not my name before you try and guess
It was my WoW name lol, based on the name of a succubus I do believe lol
Also based around Lilith because I
that name. Despite it being a "demon" and an annoying brat in Supernatural!! Which I also heart
Anyway, back on track!! (Just to go off track again I made a new Sim the other day too and deliberatley didn't pick the easily distracted trait despite that being me all over!)
ANYWAY!!
I'm 20, nearly 21, and a student in the UK.
I'm on an extremely demanding and time consuming course and making the most of these few weeks off!
I've lost weight before but never kept it off and unfortunately, since getting into a relationship (almost 5 years now ) both of us have gained a substantial amount of weight and it's recently been getting my boyfriend down so I'm starting us eating healthier and getting us more exercise.
We both want children one day so being healthy and enjoying us as much as possible before we do is our goal for now.
I could ramble on for hours, and this post will be super long so congratulations if you made it this far and good luck with the rest!!
What is your current height and weight? I'm 5 foot 5 roughly. And I weigh.... 1 sec let me go hop on the scales... 15 stone 3, which is almost the biggest I've ever been!! Translates to 213lbs I think. My boyfriend is roughly 5 foot 7 and weighed in at 14 stone 10 last night, which is 206lbs.
If you were at an ideal weight now, what would that weight be?
Personally, I think I'll be happy around 150lbs. I'd like to stay curvy because I have biggish boobs and shoulders and hips and quite a small waist so keeping a little weight on would help me keep the shape I like. I'd looove to do burlesque part time eventually so being slightly bigger would be good too as I feel sexier the curvier I am.
At what weight would you like to be at four months from now?
hmmmm, tough one. You see in four months, losing 2lbs a week, saying 4 weeks a month, is 32lbs.. I don't want to aim so high because I know I can't do it. I'd like to be under 200lbs again. Preferably by my bbirthday which is just over 3 months away.
Why do you want to lose weight?
See above
Do you want to lose weight for a specific life event such as wedding or reunion? If so, when is that event?
Nope just for life in general.
What obstacles could get between you and your weight loss goals?
Again life in general. I'm very busy with numerous health problems. It makes sticking to anything extremely difficult.
Why do you think that you now have a weight problem?
I overeat and my favourite foods include pizza, cheese, cheesey pasta, cake, buns, I love baking and I eat what I bake, I love chocolate, takeout you name it, if it's bad for me chances are I love it!
What lifestyle changes do you think would help you lose weight?
I don't think anything but not going to my hospital appointments and quitting uni could help to be honest. Sounds extreme but they both really get in the way of anything right now.
Have you lost weight in the past? If so, what has worked in the past to help you lose weight?
Yup, weight watchers and hard graft at the gym which I now can't afford....
Why do you believe that you did not lose weight or you gained the weight back?
Genuinely, I think it comes from being in a happy relationship where both myself and my partner don't care what the others looks like because we love each other anyway.
What, if anything, has not worked for you in the past in helping you to lose weight? Why do you think it did not work?
To an extent calorie counting. I have an obsessive personality so it can be dodgy ground.
Would you try writing down all food and drink consumed for a given period of time?
Yeah it's what I intend to do.
Do you cook at home often? If so, what do you cook?
Spaghetti bolognaise, chilli, curry and occasionally rice based dishes.
How often do you go out to eat? Where do you go?
Sometimes a lot others not at all. Subway mostly, the occasional restauarant meal but not often.
What are your three favorite restaurants?
I don't really eat out often enough, but I like pizza hut (unlimited salad woo), american style restaurants and chinese buffet places.
What are three things you can do differently when it comes to food?
Wholegrain instead of white stuff (although we mostly do that anyway), less-no cheese, semi skimmed milk.
If you woke up tomorrow and your body was exactly the way you want it, what would be different?
Almost everything!!
Boobs would be a nicer shape, no double chin, less hair, smaller bum, more defined and smaller legs, less-no cellulite, and a much much flatter stomach!
Do you eat when you are not hungry?
Only sometimes. Not very often I'd say.
Do you binge eat (large amounts at a time)?
Yes, again not overly often though.
Do you hide your food or eat in secret?
Not anymore. I didn when I was younger.
Do you eat when you are sad, nervous, or depressed?
No I tend to lose my appetite more than anything.
Do you eat as a reward?
Yes, usually takeaways.
Do you eat while watching TV or using the computer?
Given that I'm almost always on the computer I'd say yes
What do you normally eat for a meal?
Ermm.. Depends. It varies. Chicken breast cooked in a tomato based sauce with mash and peas and sweetcorn. Or. Pizza and Garlic bread.
What type of snacks do you eat?
Biscuits and buns. Sometimes crisps. Cinamon, sugar and butter on toast.
In terms of exercise, what, if anything, are you currently doing?
Physically I'm limited here so we're increasing our walking at the moment and I have Dance Central and Biggest Loser for the Kinect.
What, if anything, are your three favorite types of exercise?
Dancing, I'd love to horse ride again and I love cycling but I can't afford a bike.
What is your daily/weekly/monthly/yearly motivation to move towards your goals?
My boyfriend, my health, my life in general. I can't let him down anymore, and I want to look good in my clothes again, especially if I decide to do a burlesque class for my birthday.
Do you have rewards for certain goals?
Not this time because we're skint.
I think I'll carry on in another post to break it up a little and stop you all getting stupidly bored with me already!
