ATLAST!!!!!!

I have got back on track! Yay! Go me! A few things have happened that has turned my thinking around. The biggest I think is that I've forgiven myself for getting despondent & giving up again. I have had lots of mental challenges lately, some worries with my health but I am feeling much better & more able to get on again. I am also being kind to myself & not tackling exercise just yet as when I don't get round to it I beat myself up. I will try & do eating well over the easter break & then when the kids go back to school try to up the exercise again. Of course during the school break I will not be a couch potato as my life is too busy for that, I just won't be doing anything 'formal'.
The other thing that has really encouraged me is that we are just about to book a holiday for July, this will be a sun holiday, Ibiza we think & we are only taking our youngest child with us. My mum will be minding our kids that are school age. We are going with friends who have a baby. My friend is much slimmer than me despite having a young baby so I am hoping for some motivation there. We have a family holday to Malta booked for August too. I have a sun dress hung on my door that I couldn't wear now. I keep looking at it & thinking 'you will fit me!'

Reading someone else's blog has really helped me too, this lady just didn't seem to be getting anywhere, kept having false starts & then all of a sudden she just got going. I am really impressed with her ability to keep going despite the scales not reflecting her effort, she just kept on & she was rewarded at next weigh in. Her weight loss seemed to do what mine does too, get down to an all time low then bounce back up but not as high as previous. I think a graph would help to motivate when this happens as I would still be able to see a downward trend.

I also just feel much better in myself, less tired, less down & more wanting to keep up with life. Long may it continue!!!

I have eaten much better the last few days, haven't comfort eaten at all. I have also drastically reduced my snacks which is one of my biggest problems. Anyway enough for now, got loads to do so will stop beating about the bush & get on!

Cheerio for now blogland, Milly
