Hi, I have posted on various weight threads over the past few years, always in January and fallen off the wagon by March.
I always said I was happy and my family loved me no matter what I weighed but I have finally decided enough is enough. I have a beautiful boy who is 6 with autism and severe learning disabilities. I want to be here when he is growing up and help him with his life.
I turned 40 yesterday and instead of asking my family for books and cross stitch, I asked for Amazon vouchers and used them to buy a fitbit. 10,000 steps is the recommended amount, I would not be joking if I said I walked 100 on some days. I come downstairs, sit on the settee and don't move again. I am lazy.
I joined a SW group last Monday and weighed in at 21st 2.5lbs. This is the last time I will ever see those numbers on the scale.
I have been trying hard this week. Went food shopping on Tuesday and bought all the healthy things I needed and I actually cooked meals from scratch. My son doesn't eat much, he has an aversion to a lot of textures and my husband is fussy but he made all their meals so I only had to do my own. I tried to stay away from the pasta, rice etc as I know unlimited doesn't really mean unlimited but I did have pasta one night. I haven't had any spuds but used sweet potato instead. Not keen on chopping and dicing so I buy the bags of cabbage ect ready done and have been having a full bag at each meal to fill me up more. My plate really looked overflowing but it was mostly veg.
My first weigh in is later tonight and I am hoping for a good loss. My main problem is I don't see the 1lb losses as good enough. I want it all off now. I have now came to see that even 1lb a week is 4 stone a year and I would be overjoyed at that so need to keep telling myself it over and over again.
Anyway, enough rambling for now. Will check in tonight with a hopeful loss.
