No use beating yourself up hunny, it'll just make you want to eat more. It's not the end of the world and it is soooo hard to avoid temptation especially if you're feeling cruddy or stressed so don't feel bad.
What might help to get you motivated is to list all the reasons you want to lose weight. Why you're doing it so to speak. xx
Hmm, do you still have the dance mat you mentioned? You could get into that again! (Or pop round mine and we can do it together on mine!
)
Can even do some of the 'calmer' stuff whilst holding Aiden, he'd love all the movement!! At least if you're burning off some of the calories you won't feel bad if you do pigout and won't reach for more. (Or is it just me that does that?!)
P.S - Don't know what your mate is getting pissy about, men are just after one thing from all women!
He'll come round I'm sure. xx
You are so right!
Ok here are the reasons I want to lose weight:
- I feel really frumpy and ugly right now. When I look like this, I feel miserable and I don't have a lot of respect for myself. If I was to lose weight I'd look good and feel good about myself and then other things would follow, like self confidence and self esteem.
- I would have more energy and feel healthier and happier.
- I wouldn't ruin a relationship by thinking my boyfriend doesn't fancy me and thinks I'm fat.
- I'd be able to wear the sorts of clothes I love to wear, rather than the baggy frumpy things I put on to try and hide the mess that I've turned into.
Ok, here are the reasons I think I eat too much:
- I hate not feeling "full".
- If the food is there in my cupboard, I sit and think about it and I feel as though I need to eat it, just because it's there. Once it's gone then I'm fine.
- I just love food so much. I like pretty much everything apart from that scummy picallili stuff you get in a jar.
- I eat when I'm stressed, when I'm tired, when I'm bored, when I'm happy, sad, excited, arghhh I eat all the bloody time! I'm even eating right now - I'm stuffing hula hoops dipped in cream cheese in my gob
I'M FAILING!
Ok so, I think the only way this is going to work for me personally, is if I don't buy more food than I need, that means no snacks, no sweets, no cakes, I don't need them and if they aren't there in my cupboard I won't sit there thinking about them and I won't eat them!
I think I'll actually plan out in advance what I'm gonna eat everyday as sad as that sounds, I just need a strict routine.
Once I get my hands on an exercise bike, doing the exercise will spur me on more as well. Right now sitting around doing nothing with an empty stomach just makes me want to fill it up! And when I start seeing results that will really motivate me!
I do still have the dance mat, but I don't have a playstation to play it on
to be honest though, I think I'm a bit too old for that now
I think maybe sitting on an exercise bike in front of the tv would be good!
Thankyou for your support and motivation, it's exactly what I need!!
First few days are always the worst but after that, you'll be ok
Right now I'm in a really bad mood and just had a bit of a row with one of my best friends, because he misunderstood something I said over msn about how I feel men are only after me for one thing. OH DEAR how embarrassing..I don't feel good right now, nor do I feel motivated. Aiden is also really unsettled tonight and keeps wailing for no reason so I'm feeling really on edge 
I hope tomoro is better.
" they laugh and think that I'm joking but I'm actually not 
A few months down the line I wanna be seeing before and after photos.
