Day 1:
I am at a camp for the week at a hotel. I arrived this evening and the programme begins tomorrow. I wanted to write about it and was browsing Mumsnet when I thought why not do it here! There might be other people who have been on these things on here. And I want to remember why I came here and that I need to be motivated. I am going to treat this a sort of diary, ignore me if you want!
So:
My weight: I have (as many of us have) been intending for years to lose weight properly. I got down to 12 stone 10 (my goal weight is at least 12 stone to be getting near a healthy weight for my height and build.). At my heaviest I was 15 stone 4 and it showed in photos and in outfits that I could no longer where.
Then a shit year happened of work and all the usual and I went into denial a bit - weighed myself the other week and I was at 14 stone 7. I was appalled, even though I knew perfectly well what and how I had been eating. I have thrown money at the problem and here I am.
Exercise is something I have never been enthusiastic about; that is an understatement. However, as I get older I want to be fitter and learn to exercise properly - not to do with weight loss as I know there is a limited connection, but for the main benefits to long-term physical and mental health as I get older.
Sugar addiction is very real and again something I had only realised and read into in the last few years. The documents I have been given talk about the withdrawal symptoms of caffeine and sugar; it will be interesting to see what the effects are as I have been massively comfort eating and sugary foods are/ have been a routine, though less so recently.
I must remember to push myself and be positive, to get the most out of the week that I can.
Disclaimer: I am not pushing an agenda or trying to sell anything; I am not a blogger or marketing bod. I am just a large person just trying to motivate herself (and sounding like that Four Weddings quote, bah).
Now to make sure I sleep well!
