Weigh-in 1

Weigh-in 1 finally came and I'm down 4.5 pounds....

I am absolutely thrilled..

This week I aim to make a plan of what I'm going to eat everyday I think this will help me to stay on track during the week...

My thought of the day is "We are all just work in progress", no one ever has their life 100% figured out all of the time, we need to keep working on ourselves, to grow, to learn, to heal and to be the best we can!!!

Every single person is work in progress, take a look back at yourself this day last year, this day 2 or 3 or 7 years ago, think about how much things have changed, whether they be good or bad, happy or sad, they've changed, whatever has happened it's in the past, let's look to the future.. 

By this day next year what would you like to see yourself doing? How do you want to look? How do you want to feel? Where do you hope to be in your life? 

Now I know looking ahead can be hard and emotional but anything that was ever worth it never came easy...

Write down your goals for the next year, these can be our long term goals, then divide it into goals for each month, our medium term goals and if you want you can set out small goals for each week.

By having goals we stay focused and it keeps us motivated.. They don't have to be solely weight related, it could be working on a job promotion or even wanting to go on a holiday.. 

Know what you want to achieve and stop at nothing until you achieve it...

We can do it and we will, it may take a week, a month, year maybe even five years but not to worry we will get there in the end..

Just think how happy we will be when we achieve our goals...

We can do it.. 

One day at a time..

One pound at a time..

Always look on the Bright Side of Life..

Hi everyone, 

Hope your week is going good and you've achieved everything you set out to achieve.. 

Just a quick note to say always see the positive side, if you've had a bad week and went off plan, never fear tomorrow is a new day... 

Always remember the only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.. 

Tomorrow is my weigh-in day!! Eekkkk I'm so nervous about it, I feel a little thinner and I think I look a little thinner but any time I seem to feel that way I seem to put on weight but fingers crossed I have some sort of a loss, no matter how small a loss is a loss!!

I'll report back tomorrow evening with the verdict... 

Remember stay positive...

one pound at a time...

one step at a time...

Make Good Choices

Make a change.... Today

It's Sunday, the sun has gone and we're back to the rain.. 

The rain has a tendency to make us want to sit down and not do too much except of course comfort eat!! 

That's how i feel today.. All I want to do is eat and watch television, now I know I can do that if I want but what is the point? Who am I fooling only myself- by eating today I'm only prolonging the process of being unhappy with who I am..

Normally I wouldn't hesitate in going and getting sweets and chocolate but not today, today I'm taking control, I'm going to follow my plan and I will see the results on Wednesday at weigh-in!! 

I'm taking this Dull and Dreary Sunday and I'm using it as a day to turn things around.. 

We can all do it.. 

One step at a time.. 

One pound at a time..

You have the power to achieve great things.. 

Go out, be great and make good choices!! 

Happy Sunday,

Summer's Coming

Hi everyone,

I saw this and I knew I had to post!!! 

This summer I want to be different, I have a feeling the sun will be shining a lot over the summer months and I'm determined not to be the same as every other summer- sweating, covering up every part of me so I can't be seen and basically avoiding all social situations because I have no nice summer clothes!! 

Just think in 10 weeks at 1 pound a week is 10 pounds!! That's one full dress size! Just think the difference that would make to us- we could get a nice top or wear a nice summer dress.

In the next ten weeks I’m setting myself a little goal: I aim to lose at least one pound a week and anything else is a bonus but a minimum of one pound every week and if anyone sees this and is interested in dropping a dress size in 10 weeks set your goal, work hard, it doesn't have to be a weight loss goal it could be to start writing a food diary, or drink more water, or even going for a walk every day, not only are you toning but it’s great to get out in the air to clear your head, don't worry about sweating, that's just the fat crying!!!!! 

Set your goal, stick to it and remember if you can dream it, you can achieve it! 

Stay Strong,

New Beginnings....

Hi Everyone!

I am setting up this blog as I feel it would be a good way to help me on my Weight Loss Journey, I want to lose weight, I want to be a slimmer, happier girl, I know that there are thousands out there who feel like me, it's hard being bigger than everyone else , it does have an impact on daily life, it can stop us from doing simple things like spending time with our friends because we feel embarrassed that they have to be seen with us or going clothes shopping or sitting in a restaurant because you're afraid that the people around you are looking and judging you for eating!

I want this to stop, I've had enough of being the big girl, 2015 is my time to shine, it's my time to show the world and more importantly myself that I can do this, I can be strong, I can change my life around.

I know that the first step to getting anywhere is deciding and knowing that I'm not willing to stay where I currently am! 

This week I did that I made a change I joined back into my Slimming World Group after taking a few weeks off because "I thought I could do it myself" (not the first time I said it but definitely the last!!), truth be told I can't do it myself,  I need support, I need that weigh-in every week to keep me on focus and I need that little push to say "Don't give up" and ultimately that's why I want to set up this blog, I want to help people who feel the same as I do to know that they are not alone, no one is perfect, there is no quick fix for weight loss, trust me I've tried every diet under the sun, from shakes to low-carb diets, from appetite suppressants to plain old fashioned starvation, it doesn't work!! There is only one solution and that is to eat less and move more! 

Over the coming weeks not only do I hope to go through some diet tips and recipes, I also hope to post daily motivational sayings and quotes, I feel this will keep us focused and feel more determined to stay on track. I know myself that it's not only our appearance that changes as a result of weight gain, it also has a huge impact on our mental and emotional well-being therefore I am going to go through simple exercises that will help us to re-train the way we think and feel about ourselves, I think this is just as important as what we eat and what exercise we do because let's face it if we are not happy, we don't have any motivation to do anything, all we want to do is eat and it's a vicious circle- we eat, we gain weight, if we gain weight we become more fed up and we eat again because we think it will give us comfort, it will never change unless we change the way we think and that is exactly what we are going to do, I heard this saying a while back and it applies to me and I'm sure to many other people too! It said "The Biggest Wall you've gotta climb is the one you build in your mind" so today, the 25th of April, we're knocking down that wall (the image of Miley Cyrus knocking the wall with the sledgehammer in the "Wrecking Ball" video springs to mind!). Today we are going to stop waiting for things to happen for us, instead we are going to go out and make them happen!!

Every Day from here on in I want to wake up with determination and go to bed with satisfaction, satisfaction in the knowledge that I am making a change, I am taking control and I am making a positive changes in the way I feel about myself, in the way I eat and the way I exercise.

Best of Luck Everyone,

Stay Strong,

Little Miss Sunshine
