I have a great family (barring the normal dysfunction), a good job (that has its stresses) and wonderful friends (that live 1600 miles away). My Husband and I have been less than happy with our weights for a number of years. We started weight watchers together a year ago last August. I lasted 4 months and really got no where while my husband soared and became a lifetime member with a 100 pound weight loss. I am so proud and pleased for him but I want that to happen for me tooooo. I understand the eating thing, I just suffer the self motivation to get my body moving in the direction I know it needs to go (off the couch and on to the treadmill). I am incredibly gifted at putting everyone and everything else ahead of me. I welcome words of wisdom and thoughts to motivate me to get going. I just turned 37 and want to see 38 in a new way. As a family we enjoy traveling and want to take a cruise next year. I want to be able to wear a swimsuit and enjoy myself instead of feeling self-conscious.  |
what a nice thing to say about us thank you!
if you are ready mentally to commit yourself to this you can make it happen. and the best part is we will all be here to cheer you on throughout your journey!
soomething that maybe you should do is frame your mindset to go after smaller goals, say 10-20lbs at a time. it is much easier to work towards a mini goal or milestone so to speak than it is to shoot for triple digit numbers!
i also believe that for some people it is easier for some people to make one change at a time. say start with dropping soda out of your lifestyle. then the next week or 2 weeks later remove other sugarry sweets. then a week or two later remove fast food/eating out. you get the idea.
we wish yo uthe best of luck no matter how you decide to go about this!
