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!
