September healthy eating and weight loss thread, join in...

[EZ Writer]

I have not eaten much, went to a job interview and the pants that I bought which seemed tight the day I bought them, seemed loose on me today. Everything else fit as expected.
I'm going to go grocery shopping in a moment, will stock up on stuff I need. Stuff my spouse needs as well.
And tomorrow, back to exercise routine! it will be after work and before I see my therapist.

I broke down and bought a latte and haven't done any exercising. All I can say for sure right now is that I am NOT going to the pub any more.
I DID make dinner for tonight, chili con carne which I made in the crock pot. It is good and more than a little spicy

I will try to start exercising when it cools down a little tonight.

@Patafikss My plans might be a little ambitious but I need to make some major changes if I ever want to be happy I think.

Sensory overload today - Had an appointment in the city centre and I wanted to do some shopping afterwards. I guess it was too much, some headaches and OCD (as an expression/reaction to my anxiety) right now.- I will still go to do fitness, but it's going to be in the evening then... :o :P Also I actually had a nice McDonalds meal for lunch (cheat day kind of), I really needed it - and it stimalates me in a good way to just continue to exercise every day.

So yeah... :oops: *embarrassed* :oops:today sucked to put it simply.
Tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities and I will not let anything or anyone put me off eating healthily from literally this moment on.
Had a bad day due to feeling crappy, something i read made me cry and i gave in to the comfort eating.

7th of September is the day I want to remember for changing my eating habits and weight loss starting date.

3 healthy meals a day. 30 minutes exercise daily and that is my simple plan

I've had a bad day as well. I had a really long, busy day at work so didn't do much walking. I only managed 6000 steps today.

Food wise it was all going OK until this evening. I had:
* nothing for breakfast, just a cup of tea.
* an apple oat bar and a packet of crisps for lunch.
* spiced chicken with tsatziki and salsa for dinner.
But then I found some chocolate in the cupboard and couldn't resist. I will not buy anymore.

I'm going to die young if I don't lose weight. I need someone to be strict with me. I AM starting my weight loss tomorrow and going to document every single thing I eat in a private diary. I will get a heart attack if I keep abusing my body with sugar and other dangerous elements. This IS IT.

@Woowoo we're a team here right? No more snacking on the choccie, stock up on fruit instead. You, I know, have it in you and are strong enough to lose weight and do anything you want. You got this girl. We're in it together and we'll have a great Christmas gift to ourselves of greater health and fitness.

Hugs 10 pounds here I come no more cookies let’s do this. Hugs I think you should try some light weights petal 3 or 5 pounds you don’t have to do much but it really can help. My numbers used to be all borderline but now are actually good since I started exercising just a little bit of weightlifting can help more than you know hugs stay safe we are here for you.

I am enjoying reading all the comments here. You all make me feel like part of a team because everyone is struggling to find more discipline and better self care.

So, tonight I am going to try exercising. Not sure how that will go but we'll see I suppose.

I had a stressful day at work but I did not go to the pub. I went shopping instead and bought enough stuff to make dinner for everyone for what ONE McDonald's meal would have cost (that is where I would have ended up eating if I went to the pub first lol).

 

[Ineluki]

Oh, I forgot to mention that I broke down and bought a latte today But I am going to keep trying to improve.

Absolutely @Petal We can do this. We are both able to do it. I've done it before and a couple of months ago you lost 14 lbs in a month or just over so you know you can do it too.

 

[Woowoo]

Well done @Ineluki you did good. Don't worry about the latte. You had a stressful day, but you didn't go to the pub or eat McDonald's. That's great. One step at a time

 

[Petal]

Thanks everyone. Good luck to all re-starting today and so true @Woowoo we DID do it before, we CAN do it again, you're completely right there. Thanks for the inspiration as well @sassy123 you guys are amazing

@Ineluki We are a team and we will all help each other and that includes you i'll remember to tag you in these threads from now on, have a great day today xx

 

[Petal]

So, how did everyone do today? I did great today, 1 litre of water. Ate healthily. How did you guys do? @Ineluki @Woowoo @sassy123 @EZ Writer @Paisley @bobbob

 

[Sassy Cat]

9 day streak (14/15 total since I subbed to the gym) of going to the gym every day & eating a lot better than yesterday! :o Though that was easy :P (McDonalds yesterday )

@Petal I remember that you don't like to drink tea, :o Are you also considering alternatives besides water? I drank some of my calories this week, hmm... I'll do some research on healthy drinks.
