I'm back babies

Okay, so I haven't posted in a very long time. I have been doing other things, mostly study, and deciding about the direction my life is taking.

I have gained weight, but I suspect that anyone who's seen me in the last 10 months will have noticed that.

Why? Well, all the usual reasons, but I've examined them and they all focus around 3 main areas.

1. Goal setting - if I don't make weight loss the first priority in my life then it doesn't work for me. Putting other's needs ahead of mine, and even other requirements (such as university) stops me from achieving my goals.

From now on, my thoughts are going to be focused on this goal and everything else will need to come second.

2. Portion Distortion - I have to work on my portion sizes again and understanding what I need to survive, and somehow learn to walk away when I'm no longer hungry.

3. Stress Eating - I am a stress eater, ever since I stopped smoking (many, many years ago) I have substitute eating. I'm working with someone to remedy that.

So, anyway, my new goal is to lose 5 kilos for Xmas. It's a small goal and one that I feel is achievable.

I promise also to post every week now and bring you all up to speed with my progress.

Cheers
