Right! I really do think that time has come to do something! You know...'oh i'll start the diet tomorrow' sentence, sound familiar? Well i think it's kicked in now for me!
I haven't weighed myself accurately for about 9 - 12 months. I'm guessing i'm about 10 stone 10lbs. I'm about 5'6". I think i'm apple shaped. Although could be odd. I carry most of my weight around my tummy and probably my face.
I don't have a huge appetite. But i do like biscuits, esp with a cuppa! I'm on some tablets that can make me drousy in the evenings, which tend to make me hungry! I usually go for a couple of biscuits or flapjack or a packet of crisps. But tonight i've had 2 apples.
I don't exercise at all. Since turning 40, i find i'm shattered once ive put the kids to bed & i have them all the time apart from when they're at school. I do work part time hours every weekday. I use to do Zumba at home on an eve after the kids had gone to bed but like i say just don't feel like i have the energy now.
A long time ago, before i had the kids, i went on a diet. I was around 10 st to begin with and i just decided one day to lose a bit of weight. And i did it. I just cut all the biscuits, chocolate, crisps, bread anything like that out. I'd allow myself a treat now & then and i got down to 8st 7lbs, think it took about 7 months or so. But it was so much easier then, i was on my own, it was just me to think about, no kids to feed or a husband!!! and i didn't even call it dieting - i just thought of it like i was cutting back on biscuits and things.
If i can lose about 10lbs that would be fab, a bit ambitious i think but i'm going to try, just cutting down on things, i think tha'ts the way to go!!!
