Back Again – new beginning
I just couldn’t do it. I thought I could turn away and abandon this blog but I just had to return. I fell out with it you see, I looked back on recent posts and it was the same thing ‘I gained weight’, ‘missed the gym’, ‘I will do better next week’. I hated reading that, you see it is an insight to my short comings, ones I know I have but to see them in writing seemed to taunt me and made me think I would never lose weight. So the blog was having the reverse effect on me, I originally did this blog to help me focus on losing weight but it ended up reminding me what a flake I am.
Before my hiatus I was obsessed with getting under the 22st barrier (308lbs), well I am please to say I have done it. In the past 3 weeks I started a weight loss program based on a points score. Basically I have a number of points I can use each day, I can gain points be doing exercise and carry points over I have not used just in case I have a night out etc. Well it is working well for me, it has made me more aware of the food I eat and what effect it has on my body, there is nothing I cannot eat but bearing in mind I only have a limited amount of points I can use I have to use them wisely.
So at the moment my weight is 21st 11lbs (304lbs) and I will be posting my weight in each Monday as usual. Hopefully I can fall in love wih this blog again, I’m sure I will.
But it got you focused on the right thing, didn’t it? Glad to hear you found something that is working for you.
