Not Gunna Be A Fattie.

I need to lose weight. I have needed to lose weight for the past year, and although I have sporadically drunk shakes, been for walks, guilted my darling boyfriend into walking with me, the weight has piled on. My darling friend and singing teacher suggested we blog to keep track of our weight, and make it public.

Too many weeks, knowing that I have had a bad week, I have not weighed myself, starving myself for days and THEN jumping on the scales. Wow.....that took guts to write down. Looking at it, I know that is wrong, but that is what I did, hoping the scales would show the magical number that wouldn't make me cry. I need to change the way I think about food, exercise and myself.

About a year ago, a bit more really, I had it. I was a healthy weight. I had trained myself to think of food as fuel and not overindulge. But, my world turned upside down when I left my husband, and then compounded about six months later when I had another small crisis, one that  has left my soul so scarred that I don't think that I will ever heal.

I think after that event the weight started to pile on. For a while I stopped caring, retreated into myself and allowed myself to go backwards. And I feel like I have been pushing shit uphill ever since.

I am at the point where I am borderline obese. People laugh when I say that.....I don't look obese, just a little chubby! Well, facing facts, I am, and even if I am socially acceptable, my weight is not healthy.

The point of blogging is kinda like keeping a journal, or a food diary. Except I seem to be better at blogging than at actually keeping a diary! So, I am going to do a coupleof things to help heal my heart and help me be healthy again.

These are my goals:
Today:
  • I am going to make myself a healthy lunch and take it and eat it.
  • I am going to go to the chemist and make an appointment with the Xndo lady to measue me and weigh me
  • I am going to go to the gym and do an hour of exercise
  • I am going to enquire for the gyms biggest loser competition and run the idea of missing Thursday night rehearsals past the director of the show I am in
  • I am going to be in a happy mood all day.
Healthy thoughts people. x
