Piglet to Gazelle - My weight loss journey

First_Trouble

All in all I think I have done quite well food wise over the weekend. I have had a little treat but kept the portion sizes small so I don't feel like I have over indulged on it. I moved more than I would have otherwise too.
I am very proud of myself for taking initiative and focusing on breaking another bad habit. Onwards and downwards!

After being diagnosed with an underactive thyroid at 19 (I’m now 28) I have struggled to maintain or lose any weight in fact I have been steadily gaining weight. I started at 7st 9lbs and biggest weight 11st 12lbs which was a few weeks ago (weigh-in today 11st 6lbs).
I have decided to give myself new challenges every week that will affect my diet for the better. This way I feel I am more likely to stick with it rather than try and change everything all in one go and have me reaching for the maccy d’s or whatever other junk food I can lay my grubby little paws on.
I will be posting my food diary on here to keep me on the straight and narrow so to speak but I am not going to be so strict that I do not allow the occasional treat as I have learnt from past mistakes that this does not work for me. It also doesn’t reflect reality in my opinion; I will be aiming for the 80/20 breakdown.
I have already been at this for a few weeks and so far I have started the C25K (on week 2 now), vowed to take the stairs at work at least once a day (I work on the 4th floor), drink 2ltrs of water a day, walk to Liverpool Street (2 miles), always eat breakfast, bed before 10pm & no coffee unless decaf after 5pm (as otherwise I cannot sleep at night).

This week my change has been to reduce the amount of added sugar I consume so no sugar in hot drinks, on food etc..


I have decided that no longer will I allow myself to be the one that is holding me back. This is my Piglet to Gazelle Programme.

Good on you and the very best of luck, stay determined and don't let others put you off.

Not as good as yesterday. It was our monthly team meeting and I had planned on having fruit and nuts with greek yoghurt (I was really looking forward to this) and it wasn't until I got back to the office with all the other goodies that I realised I had forgotten to pick up any yoghurt for myself. Unfortunately by that time I was very hungry and I just grabbed rather than thought. I was also buzzing from all the coffee!
