Well, I thought I’d start a new thread because our second one is getting quite long now.

So, at the moment; I am still 15.12 stone (which is good I suppose because I haven’t gained weight again.) But...I feel like I’m getting quite fed up. I was sitting in my room today and thinking how unhappy I am feeling with the way I am looking at the moment. And its quite tiring - feeling like that.

So, today I have started again. I am a bit short on money so I’m going to have to cancel my gym membership. But my OH has a kicking bag which we are going to mount onto the wall. His brother that’s just come back from a trip to Asia is going to help us with that. And I’m just really going to concentrate on ME. My OH and I talked this morning and he was saying how much he hates seeing me feel the way I do. And I always feel clear minded when I’ve talked to him. So it helps to have my little talks with him. We’re going to pair up, and do circuits in the garden while the weather is being fun .

This weekend I didn’t go without exercise though, We had a race with his parents with who can set up their tents the fastest - of course we won , but the next day I was shocked at how stiff I was. I didn’t even realise how much I was doing untill the day after.

So, I’m just going to start to try and make myself feel worth it and feel that I deserve to be pretty. Sometimes I think that I ‘eat’ to avoid having to look after myself. This morning I thought to myself - Am I eating to avoid being happy? To avoid being hurt? Or to not have any protection from the real world? Sometimes I think I over-eat because I am afriad of what is to come.

So today was a big break through for me really. I have found, or think I have found the reason why I over-eat. And I just have to tuffen up and face it, I am growing up and I have to face the world some time or another. And As I lose weight, my confidence WILL thrive because I am so eager for the day I can look in my closet and say ‘hmm. I want to wear that, and its going to look wonderful’. Where at the moment, I stand for ages trying to find something that makes me feel ‘ok’.

So...Lets say this is the next start! .

Hiya

LOL @round 3!!!

well i have to admit i havent been to the gym for almost 2 weeks now. I really struggled there and didnt notice any improvement, i got so bored and fed up too.

My husband and i are still sticking with the lower fat options and less processed foods though, not sure what i weigh today but last week i was 10.11 (as appossed to 11). Id love to have that slim washboard stomach, but my mother never had that and she hardly ate anything, and i had it as a child when i was a picky eater, so i guess its never going to go, i just have to try and except it.

Well - I thought I might blow some dust off from this thread for my part

My graduation is coming up in about 2 weeks now, and I’d like to tone up a little so I look extra pretty

But anyway, So tomorrow I’m back on track again. I’m not going to starve myself, I’m just going to follow common sense! Have normal portions and make sure I don’t have too much calories during the day.

To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I was at the gym. I tried cancelling it because I’m a bit low on money at the moment but sudden they have a contract with them. Nevermind about telling me when we signed up .

So, I’m going to push through the gym, And use the big old machines to help me get smaller.

Wish me luck .

I must admit, ive currently given up, i saw no responce from the workouts i was doing and got dispondant. I need to cut down on my eating at least, i need to get back on track. Good for you!

Well, I’m serioustly considering using those tablets called ‘Alli’? They don’t supress your apetite or anything like that. What it does it just stops your body from absorbing the excess fat from the food you eat. It supposedly doubles the rate you loose weight.  So - As soon as I have some spare money i’m going to see how much it is

LOL Ive already looked at ALi!

For my height, im ment to be 12st or more to warrent taking them, im 11 stone, i do often think about it though!

Its not for people who want to cheat though, you really need to stick to a very low fat diet because the pills work by not letting the body absorb so much fat, put it another way, if you cheated you would know about it via leakage!!, you would certinaly pay for it!

LMAO - Well

that did give me quite a giggle I must admit

But yeah, I wouldn’t cheat, ofc not. But for just sticking to the well eating and using it I’m hoping it’ll just give me a boost of confidence in losing weight. Once thats done I think I’ll be able to do it by myself.

Hi flutterby good for you for having that ligthswitch moment

As for Alli from what I have heard it dose stop your body from absorbing fat by ahem… making it come out from the other side.

lol just read a post from cat I missed I think she put it better than me about the leakage!

I used to be a member of caloriecount.com which has a weight loss tracker and really helped me stay on track, I am still a member but not active funny how my weight loss stopped once I became active.

I would push your gym on the contract issues make them provide evidence and make a complaint about them, not to them I think its ombudsman or something, or even trading standards as they need to let people know they are signing a long term contract and be clear about it.

Mmm i really need to cut down on my eating again!. Why is this so hard?

A deadly combination of cravings and laziness for me!

My will power is terrible - but so far today its been ok.

I’m going to see what the gym says. I tought i was signing up for a one month notice if you want to cancel your membership. I’ll soon ask them about it. Luckily OH has studied contract Law :grin:
