Starting again....

3 good days in a row, 4 months ago .... and boy what a spectacular fall off the wagon - I did actually struggle on deluding myself for a bit that I was doing OK, but the fact is my baby is six months old and I'm still wearing maternity clothing. have agreed with Dave to go strictly paleo for the month of January, with a break on 23/01 (works xmas night out). Still feel too big to physically do excersise, but have got some Wii stuff to get me started.
Here's hoping that 2011 is my year x

Day 3...Oh noes!!!!111eleventy ten

-ve for today - was immediate as I no longer have a laptop and there fore will find it harder to keep this under wraps as I'm using Davies.
-ve also - being patronized...'don't you look well '- when we all know i look like a bag-of-shite.
Of course I've lost weight - I did have a whole person removed from me a short while ago...
-ve - dona an official wiegh in last night on the wii fit - I am 103kg, approx 16st 7lb, up 6 pounds since my last weigh in which was about 6 weeks ago.

Plan is to go slow and easy - but since I'm all sugar or all shite - no cheat days for me...one malteaser leads to one pack which leads onto a multipack.

Lunch out with the workies today - to the veggie option of 5 bean chilli with boiled rice, it had the lowest ww points value which makes me think its poss lowest in calories.
Big lunch means no evening meal - had crackers and cheese with tomato, another whole day with no snacks. YATTA!

Day 2 - keep on keeping on...

So, managed the whole day yesterday with no snacks...yay!

Things I've noticed, I don't drink enough water, I eat when I'm bored , I'm bored A LOT!

Had a more substantial breakfast today - wheaties and banana - no sugar.

I'm out with Jools at lunchtime so will need to be careful - although should be easy with her as she's being careful just now too.

I think the plan will be to post every day this week to get into the habit  - then cut back to twice weekly.

I'm thinking about photos too....thinking of the guy who done his face everyday for 6 years....imagine my amazing shrinking belleh!

Lunch was a success in that I didn't have any rubbish - a bottle of pepsi max and a portion of pre-packaged citrus fruits. Only problem is I'm frickin hungry now! gonna make pork steaks for tea, with couscous and tinned veg- I think there's only corn left :(

Trip into town was also a success as I cariied Joe around in his baby carrier for an hour - whoa he feels heavy!
...also , the hair today? does not look as good :(

day one - being brave

The hardest part about loosing weight for me is getting started, making the decision to do it. Fear of failure often puts me off starting and failure to keep it up prevents me from committing. This will be a private record, for my own use, lets see if writing everything down is as cathartic as they say.

Okay - so at the last weigh in I had I'm about 101kg- I will get a more accurate reading of that tomorrow.
I am 5ft3inches and a size 20 UK.
I'm married, have 3 boys aged 12, 7 and 9 weeks ...all delivered by c-section so I have no abdominal feeling.
I have always been heavy/big/chubby/cuddly/ built for comfort...all of which are euphemisms for being morbidly obese. Its time to stop hiding behind the fun names and make a change.

According to my doctor I have a BMI of approx 43 % - I don't really take part in exercises as I get out of breath really quickly - but more because I'm embarrassed ...no-one wants to see a
fat burd sweating.

As always I am inspired by the people around me - I've watched a girl at work loose 4 stone in about 8 months, all through healthy eating and exercise. I'm watching the biggest loser on TV and decided to stage an intervention on myself - I actually used the phrase "I am 'biggest loser' fat. y'know?" to describe myself....not good.

Its lunch time on day one and heres the story so far....
B'fast - 1 banana, 1 coffee 8am
no snacks Yay!
Lunch 1.30pm - pork steaks, an orange, an apple and a banana...1 cuppa tea.
....

+ve so far....had a hair cut, was tempted to weigh the clippings and see how much of a difference that makes ;)
have managed to stay away from the bread and nutella,

...baby slept for 8 hours last night x woo hoo x

-ve so far... fear....I'm scared to weigh myself , I'm scared to change AND scared to stay the same, I'm scared that I'll not be 'fun' anymore,

ETA - another cup of tea at 3.30pm, still no snacks...yay. 
Main meal at 5.30pm - 2 chicken kievs, with cous cous and sweetcorn. Ok so not very healthy - but better than its been and still no snacks....also the hair looks awesome!
