Fat : 45%
Yikes, well that's the damage of my holiday. I weigh more today than I did when I started. I'm wondering if I need to change my ethos of holidays? I thought I would cheer us all up with a photo of my puppy when she was 8 weeks old...it's her birthday on Wednesday and she'll be 2 years. Now don't we all feel better? (no, not really, gutted). We can't change the past so lets just move forward and start again!!
So, focus - Motivation. Obviously my real goal is to lose weight, but if I'm motivated to do that then it will wane. Once I've lost, say, 3st I'll feel better, look better and the fact I'm 2st away from target won't feel so important (or desperate) as it is today. Once I get to target then I will have no motivation to lose weight as I'll have none to lose and then we all know what will happen ;-0
Therefore my motivation must be on my need/desire to be fit and healthly, and weight loss will be a by product. Even at target I will still want to be healthy as that never stops. Now telling my head this is another thing. I'm absorbed with the idea of wearing size 12 jeans!! No Gilly! You want to be fit and be able to climb bloody Bennachie without swearing and being puce and stopping every 10 steps and quite frankly looking like I'm having a heart attack!! So that's my new goal - and I'll be wearing size 12 jeans when I do it.
This week I have learnt that I have an unhealthy addiction to McDonalds Caramel Frappes. They are lush! But I must stop (or at least cut down - daily is excessive lol)
It is always sunny above the clouds.
Aww Gilly, my darling girl, I've just read all your blogs so far and you make me giggle! Same sense of humour as always! Anyhoo, don't be despondent, I'm with you all the way here and it seems we have similar addictions to food, so I'm going to use your blog to encourage me to do the same. Not sure I'll be brave enough to post pics or my weight, but we'll see. Any time you fancy some company on a walk etc. Just give me a shout on FB and if I can manage it, I'll be there.
ReplyDeleteI agree, holidays are for enjoying, we all do it, so don't beat yourself up. Go girl!
Love, your long lost fat pal,
Diane xx
