Happy Weekend!
The boy is on a stag do in Newquay so I've been free as a bird for the past 24 hours. He'll be back tomorrow though which is good - I've already had my fill of alone time!
Over the last few days I have been trying to regain some control and structure into my eating. It is by no means perfect, but I feel much more committed than I have done in a long time, to getting real results. Not only that, but I am believing that I CAN actually achieve my goal. The only thing stopping me from reaching them, is me.
Obvious no?
Yet coming to this realisation is slowly filtering its way into how I'm eating. I spent a few hours this morning doing an online grocery shop, planning my weekly menu and entering the data here. This is me taking control. I know I have the determination to lose weight (I have done it before after all), but all of the previous failed attempts often mean that my 'diet starts Monday' attitude gets in the way and I rarely make it past losing a few lbs.
I am the only one who can get me to lose weight.
Others can assist, help me along the way, but ultimately it is up to me, and the actions that I take.
It's often said that the weight doesn't go on overnight, so you can't expect to lose it overnight, and I don't. Previously I've let how long it is going to take stand in my way. But here's the thing, the time will pass anyway. It already has. That diet I started back in 2008 was going to take time, but now it's 2012 and I'm 4 stone heavier and wishing I'd finished what I'd started then!
In the next five years I hope to hit some non weight related personal goals. To achieve them at the weight I currently am would be a hollow victory, because I know that underneath it all I still wouldn't be happy. I want the whole package dammit! I have the ability to achieve all of it, it's just going to take some hard work.
And for once, I actually believe it could happen, it's all about taking action.
