New Year = New Me

I survived New Years Eve by not drinking anything except sugar free soft drink, eating fruit and relaxing with the attitude that if I wanted to make sure I lost weight then it needed to continue, even with the celebrations happening.

The motto for me for the new year is "New Year = New Me". I intend to stick to this motto and ensure that my weight loss heads in the right direction. I have stuck to my guns and eaten right today even though the day is not over but I have not gone and eaten things that would harm my progress as I want to maintain the momentum and keep going.

The mindset I have at the moment is what is keeping me focused despite the lightbulb moment I had two days ago which really showed me just how bad things had gotten. When I looked at my tracker online to see what I weighed last before the other day I was shocked to find that on the 20th of October I was 3.2Kg lighter. This showed that I had headed into the danger zone and needed to change things before I went past the point of being in control.

Although I haven't exercised at all in the past 2 days I have maintained a healthy attitude towards my eating and have recognised the hunger signals when they have occurred. Instead of just mindless eating which leads me onto a bad path, I am simply drinking more which has definitely shown the bad choices I was making on my face. I have so many small unobtrusive pimples that I can see when I stand in the bathroom and turn my face towards the sunlit window. To know that I had abused my body was gut-wrenching. That is now going to change.

This year is the year of change, in many ways. Let's hope it's a fun ride!

Until next time,
