I have been feeling really down lately about my weight, not in a self pity way but more in a disappointed with myself way. For a while I have made so many excuses about my weight and avoided facing the truth on it, but really and truly the only thing standing in my way is me... so I am trying to suck it up and simply get on with it, no fads, no quick wins, just eating better, eating less and moving more. My weight effects so many parts of my life, I feel uncomfortable in my own skin, don't like going out or seeing people, feel I can't keep up with my kids, I worry about my long term health, I don't like my wonderful husband seeing me naked or touching certain parts of my body.... the list goes on.
It did make me think how many of us can change our lives for the better if we decided too - obviously doesn't work for all things at all - but I think so many of the issues we face in life, it is ourselves who are the ones standing in the way of our own success?!
So that's my commitment today, to lose four stone, and do it by changing my lifestyle in a sustainable way, what can you change for the better?
Anyone else happy to join me to make a commitment to change one thing for the better?
