Well I have been rubbish with the dieting AGAIN! I guess it has been Christmas and New Year, but before that I wasn't too good either! I am back to 'unmentionable' stone 7.5, I guess the only saving grace is I haven't gone back up to what I was, 'unmentionable' stone 10.5. BUT today, after encouragement from a school friend, Donna, I have gone and joined a Weight Watchers group. I know, I know, a Sunday how fabulous is that. And a Sunday morning to boot!
Barney has come to WW with me, he is now packing more weight than he wants to, so we're back to encouraging each other. And yes I will urgh in his direction when he gets to gold as he has so little to lose, but I will also be very pleased for him, even if he does (which he most certainly will) reach gold before me.
The group is massive (well was today anyway!), the leader seems really lovely, there is lots of online support and I've come home feeling curiously positive for once. I must admit, I had difficulty in answering the questions the leader posed to me, 'So you've dieted before, why didn't you succeed? And what will make it different this time?' I think I answered truthfully, if in short. This time I am determined. 2013 is going to be my year.
Barney and I have both ditched the booze for January. We drink far too much, wine and cider are my downfall and cost soooo many points! So a month off should gve us both a good boost.
So 2013..... No New Years Resolutions as such, but I am 30 this year, 13 is my lucky number, I have determination and spirit and so so want it. I'm so fed up with being fat and bubbly, I want to be slimmer and bubbly.
I am looking forward to making friends with all the lovely ww group I met today, who made me feel welcome and glad I went, the online group are busy doing the same as well - so thank you all.
I'll keep you posted.....
