Self Control...

It now almost 12:30pm and my self-control has been on point today; I feel accomplished! I haven't snacked at all since having my breakfast (1 cup of Special K and 200ml soya milk).  Anyone losing weight will tell you that that is one of the biggest hurdle to jump over (along consistency).

I went to a Caribbean shop today and saw all my favourite Caribbean treats, what did I get? Brunswick sardines to make one of my favourite meals for my lunch today... Yessir!

I only hope it lasts for the rest of the day :D

I Feel Sick After Eating...

...I feel sick when I'm full even if it's with water. The thought of eating makes me feel nauseous and the feeling of hunger makes me feel good/accomplished for some reason. I hope I'm not developing an eating disorder. I CANNOT go from one extreme to the next.

One Of My Favourite Meals... Sardine with Poached Eggs

Brunswick Tabasco Sardine with Poached Eggs and Salad - 233 cals

I ate this meal with utter satisfaction and pleasure.

So Today I Went To My GP Regarding My Weight...

For all the years I have been trying (and failing) to lose weight, I've never been to my GP about it - even though most meal plan/diet plan recommend you to do so. I've just always thought, I know what to do so what's the point - applying it and being consistent is my problem.

Anyway, I thought this time I'll do this properly.....

So it's been a week since I decided to 'start over'...

It's been a week of determination, pro-activeness, testing my willpower and a dash of failure. I started last Sunday due to my 5 year old daughter's homework. She had to 'cook'/assist in making a healthy meal to demonstrate what they have been learning about balanced diet. I made salmon and brown rice with steam veg, I really enjoyed it and remembered what it was like to eat a healthy meal - I loved it.


Fast forward to Thursday/Friday and failure set in. I joined the gym on Thursday though so can I use that to cancel out Thursday's failure? No? Oh. 


Saturday's diet was absolutely atrocious! It all started with going to the chemist to get my prescription, as I left the chemist, I noticed a cake shop........................... I guess I don't really need to say anymore.

So I'm starting my weight loss efforts once again...

I'm at my highest of 230lbs, this is ridiculous....

For the last three days, I've been weaning myself off my bad habits; I've been eating a lot healthier, I've cut out snacking and I've been drinking a lot more water/fluid. I will be visiting the gym tomorrow to see the facilities and also hopefully to join and next week I'll be seeing a weight management nurse at my GP's surgery.

As most perpetual re-starters know, every time is always "..this time I'm serious about it. I will do it this time..." - I've been saying that for the past 12 years (and I'm only 26! - granted I wasn't overweight then but I thought I was). This time I'm taking active steps in achieving a healthier body as I possibly can.
