I’m terrified.
I’m terrified of never being truly happy with the way I
look. I want to change I do, I try so hard but then something happens or I make
up an excuse and I’m back to square one again. I self-sabotage all the time. I
know this but yet I keep doing it.
Today I had the day off work, I could have gone for a walk,
run or a jog. I could have got my bike out of the shed and gone for a bike
ride. Even if it was for half an hour it would have been better than what I
actually did. But surprise, surprise I didn’t instead, I got up at noon, ate
some cake and proceeded to watch T.V. all afternoon. I did a marathon… of a
T.V. series. I’m so lazy and I know that, I really do. I keep trying to lose
weight and get healthier but after 3 weeks I get bored, annoyed and angry because
I haven’t lost the amount of weight I wanted to. Of course I know that it is a
long process but let’s face it, if we could all just press a button to make us
look the way we want to we’d all press it. But life is a bitch and that’s not
how it works.
I’m scared that if I don’t make the changes now I never
will. My weight is already causing problems for me. I was 14 when I was told I have
an 80% chance of not having children. I was told then, that if I lost weight
that statistic would go down. But did I listen, did I fuck! I carried on the
way I was. And my weight has piled on. I’ve tried a lot of things but as soon
as small excuse appeared I’d grab it and make it massive. I got ill, I had 3
operations. Now what’s my excuse? I’m tired after work… well Gemma MAN UP!
I need to stop thinking of excuses. I work 4/5 days a week. Always
have at least 2 days off work. Work is great, I am more active at work. Running
after the kids and eating reasonable meals. But it’s the snacking and picking.
I always have plenty of time to do exercise after or before
work but I never do. I either start work at 7am and finish at 3:45pm or start
at 3:15pm to 10:30pm… I have plenty of time before or after to do something. I
know that if I did 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day I will see a massive
difference but once again I can’t be bothered.
But the difference this time is that, I have my family, my
friends, a personal trainer and my boyfriend rooting for me. I lack motivation
but with each of them supporting me I know I can do it. One step at a time. One
pound at a time, with every step I will get there and be healthier. I’ve said
it so SOOOO many times that I will change but this time I NEED to do it. I can’t
keep slacking. I have a future to prepare for. I have a full time job, a loving
partner and the only thing holding me back is my weight! It’s one thing I can
control and change so here goes!
I promise… for every pound I lose over the next year I will donate a
pound for pound to charity. On the 13th of November 2016 I will
update you all. With weekly updates (every Friday) I will let you know how I
go. What I’ve eaten, how I’ve exercised. My highs and lows. Everything.
I hope you can all join me on my journey
Love yah
