New year... new start etc etc
Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my last post. It really helps to know that I'm not the only one 'going through' or feeling like this. You're all so lovely and kind.
Well today is New Years Eve... In fact, only 2 hours to go until 2007! The diet starts then! I've been thinking about it for a few weeks now (felt silly starting a diet during Christmas, so put it off). Sounds like typical procrastinating when it comes to starting a diet... But I really feel in the right frame of mind, which is so important.
I've got some Zotrim (http://www.zotrim.co.uk/index.php?id=2). The basic information about it is, it's herbal and: "A study using ultrasound showed that the Zotrim formulation slowed the rate of stomach emptying. It is thought that, as the food stays in the stomach longer, you feel full faster and remain feeling full for longer. In this way, Zotrim can help reduce overall food intake from meals and snacks." (Taken from the above site).
I'm hoping that these will help stop me bingeing, and snacking between meals - the only trouble I can forsee is remembering to take them before each meal.
I'm also going to be following Weight Watchers (it works well for me when I stick to it), and increasing my exercise. When I say increasing, I mean actually doing some! 
I'm going to try some Callenetics (look it up on Amazon) to help me tone up, and I'm going to start playing golf again. Yes... a 22 year old playing golf! 
Also if... scratch that... WHEN I've lost two or three stone (hopefully by July) I'm going to invest in a bike and start cycling.
The only other issues I have are to do with life, not weight (makes a change). I'm not enjoying the job I'm in at the moment (working as an Administrator for a Recruitment Company). Although I'm being promoted to 'Temp Controller' and people are talking about me being Consultant by the end of the year, I'm not happy. It's not what I want to do.
I'm good with office work and organisation, and I've always been interested in how films and television programs are 'put together', so I'm looking at trying to be a Production Assistant. The two biggest issues are:
1. Money, it will mean a pay cut, so I'm probably going to stay in my current job (and take the promotion) until July, by then I will have paid for a trip to Switzerland that I have booked with my parents for September, and a trip to New York that I have booked with a friend for January 2008.
2. Actually getting my first job. It's such a difficult industry to get into, especially when you have no experience working in media. Also it's going to be difficult with the area of the country I live in. Not many production companies/tv channels in Hampshire - and no point me moving to London until I've actually got some experience - Catch 22 really.
So that's something that I'm going to be focusing on, and will (hopefully) be a big change in 2007. Wish me luck - I'm going to need it! 
Anyway, I'm off now. Only 1 hour and 45 minutes of 2006 left. I'm going downstairs to spend it with my parents.
Happy New Year to you all, and I hope 2007 brings you happiness and health (and weight loss)! Thank you for all your support.
