Fatty Fin to Skinny Minnie

Thursday 10 March 2011

I am struggling to lose the last 3kg. I really need to up the anti and focus on healthy eating and exercise. I need to make changes. My leader always says "If you don't change, nothing will change." This is so true an it really hits home. I have changed a lot about my eating habits but now I need help as the new ProPoints system isn't working for me.

I need to focus on being successful and reaching my goal weight again. It has been a year since I got to goal, 4/3/2010.
I need to reassess what my weight loss journey means to me, I need to think and act like a Healthy fit person again.
Be persistent, this week I really wanted to give up and go stuff my face with anything fatty and unhealthy I could get my hands on. I didn't though, but I did allow myself a few treat of the WW kind. So I am back into routine and doing my workouts of a morning and watching my energy deficit.
I need to make the right choices when it comes to food choice. I do know what to do and how to do it, there is no excuses!cook and eat healthy food and make the right choices each step of the way.
This is my journey and only I can do it for myself. No one else can do it for me!
I am proud of what I have achieved so far with my weight loss, I need to remember that I have lost nearly 25kg overall. (I have 3kg to get back to that figure).

How to change

Work out what you want to get out of your fitness routine and new lifestyle.
By working out what you want this gives you direction. With direction you can set goals and make them achievable (don't forget to push yourself out of your comfort zone)
You need to have motivation and work out hat drives this motivation. Remember it needs to be YOUR reasons to change not anyone elses.
What do you want to change work out the specifics
Give yourself time limits (set dates and times not general lengths)
These all give you direction in what to change and how.
