Would anyone be interested in joining me?
This isn’t strictly about weight loss, so apologies for posting here. But I’m hoping that weight loss will be an inevitable consequence of me making healthier choices.
There are so many things I could be doing for my health, which I am not doing for one reason or another.
I do need to lose some weight. I no longer want to be super slim, which is what I used to aim for, and occasionally achieved. I just want to be a healthy weight, which would mean losing about half a stone. But anyway, as I said this isn’t strictly a weight loss thread.
My plan is to change one habit at a time, wait for it to become a habit and only then move on to the next thing.
The first thing I am going to do is to stop having any alcohol at home, unless we have company. I wouldn’t say I drink a lot, but it’s such a waste of calories when I do and I’ve also read a bit more recently about how alcohol impedes weight loss, even if you’re still eating fewer calories. Add to that the other problems alcohol consumption brings with it and it’s definitely something I want to limit.
I don’t get out much, so restricting alcohol to meals out or when we have company at home will mean a huge reduction in the opportunities I have to drink alcohol.
After that, I’ll tackle exercise, caffeine, sugar or whatever.
My point is, I don’t want to do everything hell for leather like I usually do only to fall off the wagon eventually and undo all my hard work.
They say that once you make one healthy change, others seem to follow, so this is my plan.
