Whoops!

Not really doing anything well right now. I have been unwell again. I really need to get to the bottom of what is causing my problems. I feel a bit annoyed that I have been going to the Dr's since January with issues & I am still having them. I am mostly annoyed that I am having to think what could be causing my problems, that should be their job. I spend alot of time reading on the internet alternating between reassuring myself & frightening myself. I haven't had a peace about my health since new year & I need that peace!

Consequently my diet has gone to pot, I have been eating fairly normal though but I feel like I am bigger & more flabby due to lack of exercise. I need to get back into the cycle of eat well, feel well. I aim to start on friday/ saturday as it is payday & I can buy lots of fruit & veg. Until then we are geting by on the basics which aren't always the healthier option. I have been eating biscuits as snacks because it's all we have in. ( I don't buy the biscuits-hubbys grandad sends them for the kids)

I will try to update soon. Milly x

As bad as I thought!

WW was as bad as my scales suggested argh! I really have put all that weight on in one week. This is a bit of a shock to me but I really should have seen it coming. In the past I was slow to lose which was a bit of a pain but I was also slow to gain. I now seem to have a double whammy that I am slow to lose but quick to gain. I think I need to just get to grips with my battle - I EAT TOO MUCH!!!!!!! I am surprisingly ok at the moment. I have other things on my mind that are overshadowing my weight issues.

While away I thought alot about being normal & healthy. I think I am too far gone for this but I am not convinced. I used to maintain, I seem to be struggling with that right now. I think that it is my body that has changed rather than my approach, that hasn't really changed, if anything I have more good days than I used too. Anyway I am plodding on because its all I can do. There is no magic cure. I just need to get my head round the fact that I need less than I take in. I will be back.

210 lbs again

Well back to 210 again. I will weigh in at ww again tonight & it might not be that bad, I sometimes expect more weight gain because of my morning weigh in but then ww isn't as bad. I think some mornings I just weigh 'heavy' I then don't gain any in the day like I normally would. We shall see though. I am not too disheartened because if I have gained 6 lbs in 1 week I know why. It is when I gain for no good reason that I get upset. Back to cleaner healthier eating. I think I may experience hunger for a few days lol!

Back soon, Millyx

Been away

We have just come home from a great weeks holiday in Ibiza. We had a fab time, really good fun & lots of delicious food & drink. I didn't limit myself at all so I am dreading the scales in the morning but hey ho, I ate the food that puts the weight on!

Before we went away I did really well, I reduced my food & alcohol intake dramatically & it paid off, I got down to 204lbs which is an all time low for me since I started back at ww last november. In that time I have lost 9 lbs, not much I know but it has stayed off (until I weigh in tomorrow) In the week before I went away I realised I have been very lazy with my eating, I ate masses of fruit & veg and I felt so much better, cleaner somehow. I think I have got into just making sure I have my 5/day & keeping within my points, it definately worked upping the f&v & reducing the carbs, I am actually looking forward to getting back on track because my over indulgence has given me heartburn over the last few days.

I have a new goal, currently my bmi is in the obese catergory at about 32. I thought a good goal would be to get to be 'just' overweight. That is 190 lbs for my height which is a loss of over a stone (15lbs) I would like to get there by this time next year, slow I know but I just get upset with myself if I aim to lose a stone in 2 mths & end up losing 2lbs. If I aim for longer I will be delighted if I achieve my goal before then.

Anyway, off to catch up with all in blogland. Milly x
