Start of 2007 Weight Loss Journey

I'm going to use this blog as a bit of a weight loss journey this year. I got the idea from AJ and will use it to help me with the ups and downs of this journey. I just finished reading AJ's book Confessions of a Reformed Dieter again and was inspired by that.

Today 2/1/07 I'm back at work and don't really want to be here. I'm feeling very down, flat and just plain fat. The weather in my part of Sydney isn't helping it has been terrible the past 24 hours. Seems to be improving a bit now but still terrible. I can't believe that I put on 2 kilos over the Christmas new year period. I didn't eat that much crap. Did drink a bit too much and hardly any exercise.

I might have to go to the doctors and have a check up. I also feel so tired and have lack of energy. I'm back using the CK diary at the moment. Its easier to use that then to use a manual diary. So far today food has been good, sticking to what I have entered into the food diary but it is a struggle to not eat junk food and to drink my water.

I just feel like I'm going back wards at the moment. Every time I step on those scales they seem to be going up, up, up. Its starting to get me very down and depressed ...........................

Carlton you are off to a good start. It seems from reading forums that many of us put on 2kg. I wasa ready for a 1kg gain, but 2kg shocked me and I felt really down about it. But I soon decided there was nothjing to gain by feeling down and so I made adecision to my energy into losing that 2kg. I actually did that in 7 days (I think alot if fluid), but then last weekend for New Years I put 1.5kg back on. Seriously i think pidgeons learn faster! LOL Hey, we can;t give up, as long we yoyo down more than we yoyo up, we will end uop with a loss by the end of the year. Fight Carlton, fight for you. You can do this. When I feel down I try to match that with determination. Its hard but when it works its very powerful. You are not alone in this battle and you can do it. Baby steps girl, just one at a time. Well done on using the diary! Its a very good thing to do and I should follow your lead!

Carlton 2kg isn't that bad over xmas. You can lose that if you focus this week. I have put on a lot over the last few months and understand how you feel. Just take it one day ata time until you get used to being in the zone again.
