Week Two

Well, the wheels fell off and couldn't be put back on. I figured out a few more triggers to my eating habits

Stress - I don't eat when i'm stressed and then pig out, not good.

I don't plan my meals so I eat what I can easily get my hands on.

I sometimes forget to eat because I'm in that "nearly finished" mode so won't eat until I have finished, which is way later than it needs to be.

I tend to pick during the day instead of having set meal times so I feel full pretty much all the time instead of giving my body a chance to digest what I've just eaten

Still filling out my junk journal - unbelievable I know

Week One

Week one has come and gone. I must say I'm feeling a whole heap better, I'm not constantly feeling bloated or like I wanna throw up because I stuffed myself silly.

I still have my cravings - chocolate and chips and pretty much anything salty, which goes into overdrive when it's that time of the month....grr!!!

I tend to eat rubbish when I'm tired - another trigger.

I noticed when I don't take my water bottle, I will buy a fizzy drink instead - which is a complete waste of money. I drink more water then I drink coke zero these days

I eat breakfast, skip lunch which isn't good and then dinner which I try and eat early in the day and of late I haven't had the last cuppa and bikkie just before going to bed. I know doing this is bad but it became a very bad habit and one I'm still working on quiting.

I don't particularly like exercising these days mainly because of the way I feel after but I understand it's a necessary. So instead I try and get out and do things in the garden, weeding, making improvements building up a bit of a sweat. But with the weather improving you just never know - I may and it's not a promise go for a walk...lol.

I've managed to keep writing in my smash book about what's happening foodwise - woop, woop. I was so sure I would have given up by now.

Week two here I come - what you got in store for me

My Junk Journal


I created this journal because I'm sick of being FAT. I try and laugh it off but i'm really not happy, I don't know too many FAT people who are completely happy physically. You just can't do stuff, some things just seem to take sooo much more effort - grrrr!!!

I want to be able to put on a pair of shorts and not have to readjust them a thousand times while out. I don't want to have to go to the next size up and the fact that I can go out and buy the next size up is no incentive AT ALL!! I want to be able to buy a top that falls over my bum and not sit on it so I have to keep pulling it down ....can I hear an AMEN!!

I don't want to have to suck my guts in when sitting at Fast food places with fixed seating - ya'll know what I mean...lol. I pretty much put back on what I had taken so long to take off...grrr!!!

Now back to the why I created my junk journal. As you've probably guessed its about my journey to a better healthier me. I didn't want to make it a year long thing which I would probably lose interest in by the second day. I wanted to do it over a couple of months, taking it day by day, adding snippets of what is going on in my head and maybe getting some insight on the why I eat what I eat and when I eat.

Hope you stick around for a few laughs and a lot of tears.
