Re Educate Myself About Weightloss

Okay, so now I am really mad with myself.
Finally the festive stuff has come and gone and I have worked up the courage to step back onto the scales and.......
ooohhh s#@t, I've put on 5 kilos.

Where the hell did that come from?

I knew it. When you start feeling bloated and the button hole on your favourite pair of jeans seems so much further away from the button, you know.

Now, what to do?

Go back to the start of this blog and re-read what I wrote about how I lost 14kg. Yep, that's what I'll do. Try and get my mind back into weightloss mode and start thinking thin, thin, thin.

Off to do some reading.

How To Stop Yourself Eating

Please, Please, Please if you know how let me know. The only way I can think of is, putting tape across my mouth.

Here it is that time of day again when the dreaded munchies hit. It is the same time everyday when I sit and fight with my inner self, my mind. It's like a recording that is played over and over in my head.

"Ohhh, what can I eat now?" Bent over, with my head in the fridge, door wide open.
"No, don't even go there. You don't need it."

The worst part about this is that I'm not even hungry. I have no hunger pains, not starving to death like some poor other person out there in the world, someone who really needs food desperately.

No, bored I would say and just a very bad habit that I have gotten into, one I need to break.

Pick, pick, pick thats all I seem to do. I try and tell myself its all healthy stuff but not all of it is, some, yes, and it's the amount, way too much stuff gets shoved into this big mouth.

So here I am writing this to take me away from the kitchen, to get away from the sight of the fridge and the pantry.
Is it working I hear you say.
Probably at this very moment, yes. It will be when I walk away from this computer that it will get tough, but I am telling myself that I need a big glass of water to kick things off.

That'll work

Weight Gain In Winter

Am I so glad that winter has finally gone. Although it still has not warmed up that much yet.
I was doing really well with my weight control up till about three months ago, WINTER. Weight Gain just found me.

Each morning you jump on the scales and up they go, just a little and you think ahh that's not so bad I can lose that. But then a week or so passes by, you head back to the bathroom and climb on the scales, ohhh another kilo just shows up.
Before you know it 5kgs has magically appeared. Now I'm in a depressive mood, all that hard work just gone.

Really is going to be a struggle to get that weight off. My mind set is not in the right place. I cannot seem to find that WILLPOWER that I once had, it has deserted me.

But I will lose that weight and some, that is why I started this blog in the first place, to keep my mind on track and make myself lose weight and this is what I will do.
(little pep talk to self) might work, let's hope.

Dieting and Weight Loss Just Flew Out The Window

That's right, this whole week has just blown up in my face.
My dad just turned 70yrs old, so we had a big party. Suppose to have been a surprise but he had a pretty good idea what was going on.

We had the usual nibbles and of course the birthday cake, a huge round delicious MUDCAKE with PROFITTEROLES and chocolate shavings all on top.
Now how can you say "NO" to that.

On the night not so bad, had a small portion just like I've been telling you all to do throughout my blog, but there was nearly half left and we have been eating it for morning tea all week.

Here it is placed in front of me looking right at me saying "eat me"
At the time I feel like cookie monster and just gorge myself then I feel sick afterwards.

Its all gone now, so I'm back into diet mode flat out.

Lose Weight by Taking Baby Steps

Weight Loss- what a dirty word.
I was reading a Weight Watchers magazine yesterday and came across this article about losing weight.
The tip was to take a step at a time.
Most people have to lose weight and a lot of it. 20 or 30kg, that's a huge amount when you look at it in the big picture. But look smaller, divide it up into smaller steps.

They suggested that if you had to lose 5kg then work at losing 1/2 a kilo a week. If 10 to 15kg, look at losing 5 kilos in 5 weeks. Lose the weight in small stages and it won't seem so daunting. Break up the amount of weight you want to lose and start from there.

Slow and steady wins the race.
