Trying to get motivated
May 20 2008 12:52

Ok not sure what to use as my motivation so I looked through some of the successfull people on this site.  In particular I saw a thread by skookum (I think that's right) about her dilema on clothes being too big and I remembered myself this time last year.  I was in the same situation, unfortunately the tables have turned and the problem is the other way around, nothing fits cuz I've gained weight.  This time last year I weighed approx 10 kilos lighter.  It's depressing when you think about it.  Anyways I know that the problem was the diet was too restrictive and I just couldn't cope with it. So what do I do.  Well the plan is to eat what i like in moderation.  No second helpings and always accomponied with a salad or veg.  I was told not to use salad dressing of any sort last yr but I bought a low fat vinegrate and am going to use it to make sure I eat my salad.

Well wish me luck. I will hopefully get back on track.  I don't like what I see in the mirror anymore and come next week I will have a full length mirror to horrify myself in.  I think I really need the mirror so I can see myself more clearly and keep myself on track.
