Addicted to the scales

I had to get my husband to hide the scales as i'm getting on them at least twice a day.. and they have the power to break my willpower. I also did my before pictures and i do have  faith that there will be after pictures as well. I had a panaramic view of myself, who was i trying to kid that i was carring my excess weight  well. Just as well im determined that this willl be the last time i will be this heavy. My husband helped me with my pictures and i think he is secretly relieved I am taking my head out of the sand, he has  had to endure my rollercoaster moods. I am looking forward to my couselling sessions with other people like me who have had a bad relationship with food .

yesterday was yesterday

I had a brilliant day yesterday and i  kept it up untill 10pm, i was on call so i had to go out. The bright lights of the fast food takeaways where like becons flashing  as i drove past .Although i tried to resist and after 20 minutes of gulping my water  i gave into the urge and i had a binge. YES not just a meal but a selection of meals. When i slip its  big time i felt very guilty and had a awful headache. I also noticed this morning unlike the other mornings i was very sluggish and just wanted to stay there. I'm glad to say that i've stayed on track today and been very stringent to make up for yesterday. I really do need to take one day at a time. I have also be given a start date for Lighter Life and im looking forward to it.

3rd Day

well its my 3rd day and ive found it somewhat easier! like not feeling so hungry and clock watching for my next meal. I've also done my families weekly shopping and normally when i go aound the aisles(hungry) i want and buy every bit of junk food in sight. No i didn't do that i just got what my husband and sons needed. Felt very pleased with myself. My husband is undecided about literlife and cutting food out altogether but understands that its something i need to do. Many times I've been dieting and he's found my secret stash of binge food and wrappers. I took to hiding the empty bags of wrappers, yes i did say bags, in the boot of my car to throw away in a street bin. I really am ready to make this change. I have a thyroid problem and i  also suffer from bulimia and its been a long hard battle since i was 18. 

2nd day

2nd day and im moody and biting at everything and i have been starving at times...... i managed keep to my plan and drink 4 litres of water. Although i've noticed how all adverts are about food and everywhere i drive is food stops . i keep repeating my motto being slim feels nicer than overweight tastes. ive been the gym today which i found hard as not only am i a yo yo dieter i am a stop starter at regular exercise. Regulars at my gym all look like they are losing and improving their tone. well thats its a new start and im motivated to make the control and management of food so i can maintain my weight.

just getting started

I have signed up for lighter life  programme and im waiting for a date to start. However im so keen to start this year off right i've been having  slim fast shakes morning and afternoon and a very small meal at 5. I can't stop at cutting down so thats why i have signed up to cut out altogether untill i can manage and control my eating habits. I'm fed up with feeling like crap and dressing like an older person because i can't wear fashion.able clothes. Im also no fun to be with and rarely keep in touch with my friends as i feel so inferior. Any way today has been ok although i've stayed clear of doing any cooking. I have stuck to today hopefully i will get to join Lighter Life fairly soon
