Very weird being totally sober on a new year not even a glass of fizz! but here is to a cracking ten - being my soooo lucky number and I have my anniversary on the 10th of the 10th this year - wouldnt it be cracking if I was 10 stone TOO :)

Not the way to start a weight journey!

I chipped my tooth over christmas on the 1kg bar of dairy milk my neighbour bought me - you know I said it was the best pressie I had ever received. How can I say that? How can I be so shallow and motivated by chocolate??? Get a grip gal! I have half of it left and I feel urgh looking at it so am going to give it to the kids up the street :)

Anyway its made me eat very carefully and not often BUT then i get a bug (have to send in sample to check its not ecoli) and doc says until the infection passes through my body only drink water and full fat coke - WELL - I have lost 5lbs in 2 days and I am not dehydrated cos she checked but this is not the way to start my weight loss and I guess it might pile back on once I start eating!

Wondering how I improve my blog to like some of the others I have seen including gadgets and stuff!

Getting Ready for 2010

I have printed out my 5 step poster for the cupboard in the kitchen!

- Eat when you are hungry
- Eat the food you are hungry for
- Find out why you eat when you arent hungry
- Taste every mouthful
- Stop eating the moment you are full

Common Sense eh but I need to remind myself when I go in to the kitchen to snack!

Over Xmas I topped my heaviest ever and I guess its been good to be ill and off for food for 2 days - hopefully shrinking my tummy to a normal size :)

I hate being fat because
- I cant wear nice clothes
- I look horrible
- I have daily back pain
- My joints hurt
- It affects my confidence
- It affects my mental health

I love food - well I think I love food - I 'trough' I dont really taste it - It comforts me - it gives me something I am not getting from somewhere else - its a viscious circle. I have to tackle my weight and then I can tackle my other issues.

Starting with food and then I will sort out my exercise. I know WW works but I am going to try the 5 step plan first because I need to retrain my body to feel hunger and eat when I am hungry and not just eat because I am in a pattern i.e. 3 meals a day.

I will get weighed fortnightly and reward myself every 7lbs :)

Off to look for some inspirational quotes for another poster.
