Have lost approx 3.5 stone since September of last year, by eating less (and more healthily most of the time) and going to the gym. About a month ago I was 9 stone 10. Just been on the scales and am a fraction over 10 stone.
I know why. Following my divorce last year which ended my 23 year marriage, I have been in a new relationship for about 6 weeks, and am happier than I can remember being in a long time. Problem is, I am making lovely meals to enjoy with my new partner, we have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner quite often, and I am regularly eating breakfast for the first time in years.
My partner has gone on holiday today, gets back next Saturday, when I leave for a week's holiday with my family (holidays were planned before we got together), and I need help to get back into the mindset I was in that helped me lose the weight in the first place. Some people can't eat when they fall in love, sadly I seem to have gone the other way!
I think I'll go to the gym every day this week (swim a mile one day, hour on the treadmill the next), but it's the food thing I am struggling with. I just had a major battle of wills with myself in the kitchen, where I found myself about to make a bacon and fried egg sandwich on a giant bread roll which, according to the packet, has just under 300 cals in it.
I don't want the weight to come back - I have just taken 13 bags of my 'fat' clothes to the charity shop and don't want to be buying clothes that big ever again.
