Tomorrow I change my life

[HerRoyalRisesAgain]

I'm 30, a single mum to 3 and have the following list of diagnoses:

Autism

Depression

Anxiety

Psychosis with auditory and visual hallucinations

PTSD

Hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome

Psoriatic arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis

Subrapubic disfunction

De Quervains tenosynovitis

Fibromyalgia

Binge eating disorder

I use a walking frame to help me mobilise and I am currently 19st 10lb.

Ive joined weight watchers, have a load of healthy snack options in.

I plan on getting between 6 and 8 thousand steps a day (have been slowly working up from 2000 for the last year)

I'm going to start keeping a journal and mark all appointments in a diary.

I'm going to do some gentle yoga every day, even if I only manage ten minutes.

Come cheer me on, join me in changing your life, or simply wish me luck.

Fabulous! Go you! Can I recommend this 15 minute Yoga/Qi Gong routine which I do every morning and it makes me feel like Kung Fu Panda (I am the size and shape of Kung Fu Panda)

I love it, and it's really gentle, but makes you feel energised and good for the day ahead.

Also cheering you on. I have 5 stone to lose so hey I'll join you

Some goals for me: use slow cooker 3 days a week.

Reduce takeaway to once a week.

Put my new workout clothes to use 3 times a week (starting small, Joe Wicks low impact on YouTube).

We can do this

Well done you you have taken the hardest step 👏👏👏
We're all behind you

Hey, really good luck and well done for the resolution!!! Do you have people IRL you are checking in with? To help spur you on!

That's a great attitude to have, I wish I had your motivation. Go for it!

Well done!

Sleep well tonight! X

All the very best @HerRoyalRisesAgain

Good Luck OP Keep us updated on how it’s going! Best wishes.

Go for it, OP! Best of luck

Don't let a bad minute become a bad hour, bad day, bad week or bad month.

Best of luck!! And if you slip up then just see that as a one off and get straight back on the diet. Don’t let it spiral

Good luck! Have you thought about adding some resistance training? It has been shown to reduce pain and help mobility in fibro evidence here. I've been starting with upper body and lifting a few tins of beans!

I'll join ya on the healthier eating if you wish.

I'm terrible for eating junk. Today alone I've had a large pick n mix, 3 jam donut, 2 kit kat chunky, half a pack of biscuits. I hate myself for it but have no will power. Unfortunately all things like weight watchers etc make me become too obsessed and have Had previous food issues and dieting.

I just need a bit of oomph!

Good luck. I started it 8 weeks ago and have lost nearly a stone. Slow and steady but it is coming off. I’ve hit a bit of a plateau with it but still determine to keep going.

Let us know how you get on.

Good luck OP! So inspired by your enthusiasm keep us posted!

Good luck! I will try and join you next week, same as @toolazytothinkofausername.

6-8000 steps a day would be a real achievement, and is a great aim. Good luck OP, here to support! Btw if you need some online yoga classes I recommend Adrienne. She does some nice short sessions too.

Cheering you on and good luck with you hitting your targets

Thanks again everyone.

Yoga recommendations noted, and I do have RL support. My mum is my biggest cheerleader, as is my best friend who I just happened to meet because of MN. Its a truly awesome place (beside the bullfighting)

Good luck beautiful 🤍

Good luck, you can do this.

You can do it and you will do it. Keep us updated and always here for a chat

Well done!
Remember / One day at a time! If you have a bad day remember you can always start again the next meal / day. If you get a flat tyre you don’t bin the car!
Success is not a straight line!

Good luck, you can do it!

I will join you too once the kids go back to school. Good luck, you can do this
