Over the last few years, (child bearing years, i might add, lol) I have gotten to the point where I dont like my appearance, I don't feel 'good' and etc
. And some people think my goal sounds silly as I know that there are some people who would like to lose more, but this is "my" goal because I truly think I would feel better and I no I would look better which in turn would also raise my self confidence. So, I figured since I am enjoying this forum so much and everyone seems so kind and caring that perhaps if I say it outloud here that you all will keep me in line, encourage me, etc I guess I am saying will try to help me stay motivated and on track
.
So, Here's what I need to do: I need to loose 10 to 15 lbs, preferably 15
.
So, Here's what I got planned so far (by all means throw in any suggestions)
*I HAVE to drink water or tea daily, as I know this helps with my fluid intake and output, and bloating.
*I will do some form of excercise daily.
* I have already modified my menu somewhat: I have stopped eating out completely (which was somewhat a biggie cause it seems like every time i leave the house, I wanna stop and eat somewhere just because I don't have to cook it)
* I have never eaten sweets, so that's all ready a given.
*Smaller portions
*Healthier foods
*No late night eating
ANY other thoughts or suggestions?
Want to add, that I was also on tons of medications such allergy meds, antidepressants, etc. and I do blame some of the weight gain on those, BUT I quit taking them a few months ago and have dropped 7 lbs thus far. And I can see a difference in myself (for the better) both physically and emotionally. I just need to stay in the right frame of mind, lol.
Accomplishments: I even parked far away when at the grocery store today, just so that I would have to walk, and I am usually the one who circles around until I get as close as possible. I also stopped at Hardee's today and ONLY got the $1 sweet tea. I have already excercised today.
