Oh. Dear.

I weighed myself on Friday.  One of of those "in public places" type scales.  It printed off the little receipt and I was faced with these cold, hard, facts:



Now, before I go any further into this post - I know I'm within my healthy weight range.  I know that there are women out there who weigh the same as me (or more) and are perfectly happy and confident and gorgeous and I tip my hat to those women.

For me and by my own personal standards I feel that this is too heavy.  I have gained just over 8lbs in about 2.5 months.  Its my own fault, I can't play dumb here.  I can't claim "Well I just don't know where its all come from."  I do know.  It's a result of more booze, lots more 2 and 3 course lunches at work and virtually no self control or moderation.

I had a rough start to the year, with quite a bit of stress at work and losing my grandmother amongst other things.  I let myself do what felt right while I was getting myself straight, but the thing is...I got myself straight and then didn't stop eating.  My weight at the beginning of this year was 11st 3lbs.  I was happy-ish there, but probably would have been happier at 11st.

Today I started "the diet".  I'd call it a "healthy lifestyle" but that'd be a big fat lie.  I need to get down to at least my original weight, but really I'm aiming to lose a stone.

I cannot even begin to describe how depressing it is knowing that you're restricted in what you can eat, but I know its my own fault.  The worst of it is I can't even exercise at the moment because I've done something to my shoulder that I thought a massage had fixed, but actually it hasn't and I'm in about the same amount of pain as before the massage.

Lets just say that life doesn't feel all that "glossy" today.  I could cry and I'm sure it'd burn a few calories but I know there's no point.

So, if anyone has any good weightloss tips that they'd like to share please leave me a comment.  Ditto if you wanted to say something kind and motivational.  I could so use a bit of that right now.

 



P.S.  Next post will be more upbeat, I promse!

@Sweetcheeks Thank you lovely!

I must admit, I've been as bad since then and apart from a few days here and there being good, I've eaten really badly. Hence now tipping the scales at 12st. Ooops.

I'm going to start Weight Watchers I think, I need some sort of control and I should be able to lose a stone quite easily. I'm kicking myself for being such a piggy though! x
