Hi All, so this is day one.
First a short background on me.
I never had a weight problem in the past. Ages 15-21 I was 32kg ( under weight) and always ate what ever I wanted. Ages 21-38 I remained at 38kg and still ate anything I wanted. At 38 after having a miscarriage I decided to try putting on more weight to make my body a little more healthy. I went up to 45kg a got pregnant again. After my daughter was born I weighed 52kg. I was quiet sick for 2 years, being rundown with a baby who never slept and no suport. I did everything myself. Hard time I thought I was going to die of exsourstion. Have colds,gastro,broncitis, tonsillitis, conjunctivitis and fevers all the time one after the other and trying to go to work as well. Sometimes I didn't sleep for 3 days straight. I didn't take care of myself and my weight went up to 58.8kg in 6 years. For the last year I've been trying to loose weight with diet. I'm very time poor with looking after my daughter keeping up with home work, play dates and activities. We have dogs, cats & fish to care for. I work 9 hours per afternoon/night + overtime ( sometimes 10,11,12 hours per night). I also volunteer as a foster carer for an animal shelter so spend time looking after extra animals as well as my own. Vet appointments, house checks, transporting animals to where they need to go. Food donation pick ups and wrighting profiles.
Today.
Starting weight 58.8kg
I lost 5.4kg myself with diet over 4 months but have now stalled at 53.4kg. Before people have a heart attack about low figures. I'm 148cm so under 5 foot (4.10" I think). With a small frame.I've been looking at some figures and I think a healthy weight for me is 40-45kg. I'm not massively over weight but would like to get to 40kg on duromine so when I stop if I put on a kg or 2 I'll still be ok.
Took first one today at 6:30am. No affect except I don't fell as tied as usual. First change I'm making is no sugar in my coffee. I can do this easy but can't have it without milk.
Second change is I'm going to start walking my dogs every day. Today it's so cold and foggy outside but I will still go. My poor fat dogs will also benefit from this new routine too. The draw back is to convince my 6 year old daughter to come too. It's school holidays so more exercise may not be possible at the moment but I'll start slow and add more when my daughter goes back to school.
Food, I plan to have smaller meals of what I usually eat until after the weekend. Then I'll have a better meal plan worked out and will shop for that. I don't eat too badly anyway. Just too much.
Time to get into action now. About to get kid dressed and find dog leads and go!
