Today so far i have had my cereal - a huge bowl of cornflakes with two spoons of sugar on top :eek:

I think i may have ate a chocolate penguin bar but i cant remember to tell the truth - very stupid of me.
I didn't know i was going to start my healthy eating today until like 20 Min's ago.

I wanted to post a very fat picture of my belly and hopefully in a couple of months it will look lots different:

I'm planning on doing an exercise DVD shortly so doing that 3x a week is gonna help!

Now is as a good a time to start as any! And I'm quite sure that the camera angle was the main problem in that picture :D

I'm new around here too, but this seems like a wonderful group. Welcome I hope you find what you need.

By the way cornflakes are a great choice for breakfast there's only like 100 calories in 1 1/4 cups. 2 spoons of sugar won't hurt to much either, but go grab yourself some granulated splenda and it will be even better!

Good Luck! :)
 
I didnt get round to doing the exercise tape and i ate 3 donuts...
Im gutted. i will do EVERYTHING right tomorrow though!
 
You may not do EVERYTHING right tommorrow. The question is, what did you do right today? Did you drink lots of water, use stairs instead of an elevator, give up a second helping of supper? You can't just focus on what you've done wrong. You need to be positive and think of what you've done right. Check out Jennifuffa's journal format. I've been using it myself and have found it great. Trying to find one good thing every day has been helping me stay positive in a pretty depressing time.

Your username tells me that you need to work on your self-image. You are an amazingly strong person because you have admitted your problem and are trying to change! Give yourself credit!!!
 
silly girl is so right! You need to try to push those negative thoughts out of your mind and try hard to think positively. I now this is hard at first, but once you start trying it becomes more of a habit. Find a mantra or at least something wonderful to say "I am on my way to healthy" "I am making healthy choices for myself" Something like that...and each time that negative thought starts to creep in...replace it with your positive thought. I know it sounds silly, but this is how I have finally started to actually stay on course and stay motivated. Now I am fairly new too, but these guys that post here are incredbily supportive and helpful. You are NOT unacceptable, you are in the same position as the rest of us and doing the best you can with what you have right now! And each time you post and check in you are one step ahead of where you were the day before!!!
Also, if your schedule allows, try to workout the minute you get out of bed. Have your shoes, and outfit ready that way you don't have the entire day to talk yourself out of it (yes, I am speaking from experience!). This is the ONLY way I fit exercise into my schedule.
 
hey there. I had the same problem with sugar. I honestly think its one of those things you can get hooked on and you just dont hear much about. One day i decided to just quit sugars all together. The way i felt the next few days told me i was hooked on it. Dont beat yourself up about. sometimes you body wants something and wont take no. The no sugar gets easier as you go. Now if i have something sweet like cereal or fruit its almost a sickening sweet. Just work on cutting it back and dont kick yourself if you have a bad day. everyone here has a bad day once in awhile. Its just part of being on a diet. The part we have to work on is just not to have too many bad days in a row.........
 
trust me, hanging on the bad thoughts of what you did will kill you. It just makes you plumb down in the mouth. I'm 16, and I had a time where I just kept beating myself up for eating bad, and not waking up early to go running. But you have to see past that, and then focus on doing at least one less bad thing the next day than the last, until finally, you can say that you did great, and didn't have to worry about anything.
 
I totally agree with what everyone else is telling you. You have to think positively if you want to beat this weight thing! If you don't, you just start feeling sorry for yourself, and we all know where that leads. I know it's so hard right now. I'm a positive person just about everywhere else except for myself. I'm my own worst enemy. But I love to give positive support to others, and I'm hoping that by doing that on this forum, I'll stay positive about myself.

Hang in there! We're all behind you. Lean on us, and we'll help you along your path to better health.
