Here goes....again!!!
Ok, I'm attempting AGAIN to start posting. I don't promise I will be an ultra regular poster as I am on a few support groups and am hoping to put more time and effort into those. But I will try and at least post weekly....surely even I can do that?!
Anyway, since last posting...nothing has changed...apart from my weight has maybe gone up a little!! I have now started my new job and am hoping this will give me the motivation to lose the weight.
My plan is to start running (although I imagine it will start with gentle sauntering!!!) but hey, you gotta start somewhere right?! :) Anyway, I am going to get swimming more often and am planning on getting a waterproof MP3 player to kick me into action. Next week, a new gym opens quite local to me, so I also plan on doing a few Aerobics style classes too.
It's frustrating, I know I can do it and I know I can cut out the chocolate....but I get lazy and tired to saying "no, I don't want a cookie" or "no I can't go for a meal because I'm dieting and am going swimming instead". I don't know about everyone else, but it sometimes feels a little like your life is on hold while you are losing the weight?! I know once I'm happier with my weight, my life will start again as I can eat a little more (not what I'm eating now, just maintainable food) and I will be into exercising so much by then that it will just be the same as brushing my teeth daily....but until that point, it's like everything is on hold.
I'm hoping to apply to be a police officer soon too and with the fitness tests (I know they aren't hard but I want to fly through them...not scrape past) so I want to get really fit. I daydream sometimes about how I will look when I lose weight, and I feel really motivated, but then the next day, that motivation has disappeared!
I guess I'm no different to every other person on this site, we all have food issues in some form...so here goes to another challenge!!!
