New Year...time to diet!

Christmas has been and gone and the New year is upon us.  I decided just before Christmas that when it was over and out of the way I was seriously going to get this diet thing underway.  I don't like to call it a diet I much prefer lifestyle change.

I will be joining slimming world on Monday 9th so that it is official until then I am trying to follow the diet myself.  I weighed myself and was devastated to see that I am the heaviest I have been for many years.  Takeaways and comfort eating have been my downfall.  I am an emotional eater and suffering from anxiety and depression is not helping.  I am not a chocolate lover but I do enjoy crisps and coca cola...My main change is going  to be no fizzy drinks.  I am going to try to stay on water and sugar free fruit juices and tea/coffee.  I can do this.

I have a whopping 5stone to loose and instead of unrealistic goals I am going to take it one week at a time and take whatever comes.

1.  I will attend and stay to every group, even if I know I have had a bad week ( in the past I have stoped going due to the fear of i had probably gained that week). 
2. I will stay away from fizzy drink
3. i won't beat myself up if I have a bad day...or 2!!
4. I will remain positive and realise that even 1lb loss is fantastic
5. I will weigh in 1...thats 1 day a week, I will not ecome obsessive and weigh myself at home every coupe of days ( again dont this in the past) 

My frame of mind this time is different.  This time I want to loose the weight for me and not for what others might think of me.
