Day 2

So it's day two and what have i done today as my positive step? I had a lie in and curled up with a good book. This has to be one of my most favourite things to do as you can't go wrong when reading.

While catching up on my blog hopping tonight something that i read got me thinking.

How quickly should you loose weight? It is said that if you loose 1 -2lbs a week it will be easier to keep the weight off but are we happy with that? If we have a large amount to loose then we want larger losses so we can see the results quicker. Then again lots of us out there want a quick fix and to go from point A to B in the quickest time possible, is this the way it has always been or does it have more to do with modern society? We can get our hands on things so quickly these days that i think we are beginning to expect it from everything.

One of my biggest pet hates is seeing celebrities that have quickly lost weight when they use personal trainers and more than likely have someone that prepares all their meals and does the shopping for them and we are meant to look up to them. I like seeing people that are normal and have to do it the same way as the rest of us. So this is one of the main reasons that i always get the slimming world magazine when it comes out as it has real people telling about their journeys. I can relate to them more than the latest celebrity weight loss story in a gossip mag.

Well that's it for tonight

Take care and happy slimming

Day 1 of a New Me

Today has been a good day and i couldn't be happier after the bad day i had yesterday.

My positive things for today were

1) Spending time with my bff

2) Going to the gym

3) Going to group and staying

So i feel positive but the main reason for my feeling so good is what happened when i stepped on the scales tonight. I lost 6lbs and i still can't believe it and i even did a happy dance on the scales (i couldn't help it lol). This is the best week that i've had since joining and i just hope that i can do it again next week.

How have i done it? Honestly i'm not sure but i have been good and kept my syns low each day and going to the gym 3 times and walking everywhere. I'm planning on doing the same this coming week so another loss should be on the cards.

I really can't think so what to write tonight as i'm still so happy but i'll post again tomorrow

Take care and happy slimming

A Bad Day

Right now i feel like rubbish and i need lots of cheering up. Something came to light this evening that someone i'm close to has told lies about me. Right now i want to eat lots of chocolate, crisps and anything else that will make me feel better but i'm not going to as i don't have any of that stuff in the house and i'm not going to go and buy it.

I just don't know what to do right now. Everything is horrible and i want it to all go away. My christmas was crap just as i knew it was going to be but at least new year was better. I'm thankful that i have some truly amazingly supportive friends who i love to death and i would do anything for them. If it wasn't for them i don't know how i'd be today.

With all these things you'd think that it would make my go off track but in a way it has made me more determined to do well. I want to loose this weight and show what i can do but mainly i'm doing it for me to feel better about who i am and who i want to be.

Even if i don't get to target this year i will be well on the way and i'll feel and look better. I already feel so much better than i did a year ago so i can only imagine how i'll feel next year.

To succeed i will go weekly (as long as i have the money) to group and stay to image therapy as that support is so useful. I will also carry on with the gym and soon start to go swimming as well and will carry on walking as much as i can as i hope to do a charity walk in the summer.

Even thou there is so much crapness in my life i can still see a faint light at the end of the tunnel and i'm slowly making my way towards it and i don't want to be dragged backwards anymore. I can't be the only one that feels like this can i?

I can and will be in charge of my life. Tomorrow is a new day and i see it as a day to do to something positive towards the new me. It may just be something small or something big but it will be something good like some of the following

Going to the gym

Going swimming

Dying my hair

Painting my nails

Getting rid of old clothes

Giving things to charity

I know there are lots of other things but i can't think of them right now. I will post on what positive thing i have done each day starting tomorrow. If you have any ideas of what i can do please post them here.

For now goodnight and happy slimming
