Trying to retrain my bad food habits. I don’t want to fail another diet

I have done so many diets. I have done slimming world. Done weight watchers. Done fast800 and intermittent fasting. Calorie counter. Slim fast…

I have lost weight, but at some point have gone back to my old habits and gained it all back.

Add to that a mental breakdown and more gain following Covid and now I’m around 110kg. This makes me a size 18. (Pair shaped 5”7’)

I am going away at the end of August. I don’t want to be hiding from the camera, I dont want to be relying on chub rub shorts and I don’t want to be self conscious in the pool/on the beach with the kids. I would like to not have a fat face and for my knees to not hurt. I would REALLY like to be able to start running again, but I need to loose a shit ton before attempting that or I will knacker my shins.

I know loosing it all isn’t in anyway achievable by then… but I also know that by 92 kg I’m a size 12 on my upper half. And since I last weighed that I have piled on muscle. So, I have no idea of what shape or weight I am anymore. But every little bit helps.

Anyway. I don’t want to do another diet. I just want to learn to eat like an adult person. I know what I should be doing. It’s just doing it.

Im hoping using this will give me some accountability. Help me keep my mind straight about it all. Help me to try and be sensible.

And as with all lifestyle changes… I am starting at the most stupid time. I’m having a cake and scone based picnic tomorrow to celebrate the coronation weekend. So I’m starting easy.

my aims this week…
Drink more water
Sleep better.

Thats all! Little steps. Feel free to join in if you are also trying to clean up bad eating habits. Any tips, please, I’m listening.

Alternatively ignore me!
