Update

I know it's been too long and in between then and now all I've really managed to do is stress some more about my weight and creeping size. Until last week! I took the initiative and joined slimmingworld.com as on online member and in the first week of eating pretty darn well (healthy, yes, sat night pizza has had to be substituted with pasta and sauce...alas!) Even though on Valentines Day night we went to a lovely Indian restaurant I still managed to weigh in on the Wednesday 4 lbs lighter which I was quite suited with! :)
So, we're in week 2. I haven't since weighed myself and I know if I see myself drop another pound or two I will start to get complacent or if I have gained any - when trying hard to stick to plan - I will get defeatist. Gosh my willpower is quite shot at! I have to work on that... Thursday night my fiancé brought home some of his sisters birthday cake which I saintly refused until I got my Uni assignment score back and got a distinction (!) and then it was a 2 piece...O-K two and a half pieceS...celebration! I'm not entirely convinced hat had I failed spectacularly the cake would have been comisoratory.
And so I continue!!

Christmas blowout?

And so Christmas came and went with lots of the Christmas food in toe! I did not dare weigh myself afterwards but I didn't before hand either so we shall see how my jeans will be fitting me in the coming days...I don't imagine easily!! But! The season has been lovely and I am sad for it to be wrapping up now however, I see the New Year being my opportunity for really kick starting a healthier diet and hopefully a new me for the summer - which ideally is when I would like to be back in better shape. Leaving me about 5 or 6 months to get my act together which really is achievable isn't it? I'll take it steadily. I just really hate a) feeling hungry b) doing without whatever I am craving then substituting it with something or nothing and then caving in and having the whatever-it-was anyway!! I need either WILLPOWER or to crave HEALTHY FOODS!! If I don't feel satisfied by what I'm consuming then I will carry on eating and that's the problem!! I'd rather just have smaller portions and keep them as regularly as I eat meals now. Hey that's not a bad idea actually. Same stuff, smaller sized. About a quarter less? I'll try that. The cabbage soup diet of whatever will just never be for me! Why? Because I'm not a moron!...Well that and because I'm allergic to cabbages!

:) Happy Christams Holidays!

Introduction

Hi there,

Not sure if you know me or randomly fell upon my blog. Either way here's the deal...

I am overweight. Not obese or anything horrific but I'm no longer feeling or looking healthy and need to make some changes. Not massive ones - ideally I'd like to lose the stone I've acquired since last xmas. And last xmas I would have kind of liked to have lost the stone I picked up the previous year (see where I'm gong with this??) At 22 I don't think it's right that my clothes don't feel comfortable and I want to feel good, well at least better! And who doesn't?!

I know the fortnight before Christmas is the worst possible time to get precious about my weight but it has to be done before I unwittingly acquire another stone. For that I need motivation - for that I need to blog!!

This is to be a very informal space. Nothing like my other two blogs, be that a good thing or a bad thing... There's nothing wrong with being diverse!

I will come back with my weight and what I'm planning on doing about it in my next post. Exercise for one reason or another is not for me so I am going to go down the healthier eating road most definitely. Easier said than done as I'm already veggie but oh how I love my cheese!!

I need support and motivation. I'm actually quite terrified about revealing my ins and outs on here as I would not dream of discussing things like this with my closest friends - even though they share such stuff with me... Hmm this is going to be interesting!
