I like to eat. In fact: I like to feel alive in every way possible and enjoying food is a part of that. But over the years I´ve started eating to comfort myself and I´ve had enough of that, if only because eating too much sugar leaves me unable to really taste proper food.
Apart from that I happened to step onto a scale four weeks ago and it said I weigh 90kg at 1,74m, which explains why my jeans felt so tight :blush5: I´ve lost 3 kg so far and plan to get under 75kg by christmas. I could starve myself to try and look good in a bikini for summer but as I said: I like to eat. So the plan is to eat less processed food and no chocolate. Because if I start on chocolate there´s no stopping. For a week. As long as that works I´m not going to worry about caloric restriction; my body will tell me when it´s had enough as long as I stay away from refined sugar.
Main reasons for losing weight:
- Energy: I feel tired and too heavy to move when I eat too much or the wrong things.
- Health: I have a skin condition that doesn´t react too well to processed food, and my stomach and joints also prefer fresh homemade food.
- Happiness: I feel weak and stupid when I eat things that harm me.
- Beauty: Right now I feel too locked up in my body to even be interested in the opposite sex, but I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror without cringing again.
A simple illustration of pretty much all these: yesterday I would have gone swimming (my fitness goals for this summer: improving my swimming stroke enough to swim in the river and doing ten perfect pull-ups by september), but I splurged on chocolate instead of having lunch and felt so bloated I didn´t even want to think about walking around in a swimsuit. Plus I would have thrown up into the pool after swimming the third length. :banghead:
So here´s to a new beginning, a bit messy for now but I´ll straighten out my thoughts over the weeks. I´m glad to have found this forum!
