New Beginnings



Weigh in was tonight and I found out why I am feeling so fat and like a pig at the moment. I have put on so much weight in the last 2 months its not funny.

Tomorrow is the start of a new weight watchers week for me and the start of new beginnings. I am going to be focused, exercise every day and track (try to stick to my 22 points). I already understand how out of control my eating is at the moment, and I hoping that this will help me curb my bad habits.

I tracked all of my food and points today via my weight loss blog, which was really good and made me feel really accountable to you all. I have begun to understand that just because people don't post comments, doesn't mean people are reading my blogs and understanding or relating to me.

I actually had so much fun tracking today, I will do it again tomorrow.

I am going to set the alarm 30 mins earlier than normal and am going to go for a walk before I go to work. I am also going to try to get to the gym for 30 mins at lunch tomorrow as well but will need to see how the day goes.

My relationship with the partner is a little tense at the moment and not really sure why. The distance between us isn't really helping as we can't just sit down and talk about things, but I also like having this distance between us. Will need to talk to my therapist about this tomorrow night when I go.

Work is also getting pretty stressful at the moment. Lending money to business clients is quite hard to do at the moment, due to competition. Its hard to compete when some banks price deals just to win them and write them at any rate. Gone are the days when clients care about paying for a personal business banking manager and on going service, now all they care about is who is giving them the lowest price. This makes my job so hard to do. The pressure is starting to come from higher than my manager and is making it extra hard. I am starting to be so over all of this and thinking about walking away from it all.

Sorry to blubber on so much/long but I need to get it out of my system.

Hey carlton, thanks for the comment on my blog.. just keep persevering and plugging away at it.. i like having low-joule jelly made up as i find it filling and it satisfies my sweet tooth - all for 0 points.. small changes add up.. and i find if i don't buy the bad stuff and have it in the cupboard/fridge then i can't be tempted.. It is hard but it is so rewarding when you start to see the results... Hope it gets easier for you soon.. chris

You have one really well, especially with all you have been through. Its tim eot look after you and I'm so glad you are doing that! Work stress is no good, and partner stresses. One day at a time. You can do it.

Just take one day at a time and you can do this. Getting back to basics really helps too.
Have a great week, hope the pressure eases up at work for you.

I'm with Bri, getting back to basics is the best way to tackle things. I think it's time to focus on you babe and re-evaluate how these external things effect you and are they worth holding onto. Yep, I'm a huge fan of moving on from any negativity in my life and that means relationships too.
