So, What Do You Want?

I gave up trying to lose weight and went back to my old habits. It's my pattern, I start off well and then tail off. I abandoned blogging as a tool to obtain a healthy life and I thought I was finished with it. It feels like unfinished business though. I am going to turn forty in six months and, the thing is, I cannot bear the thought of reaching March 16th 2008 with this issue still hanging over my head (and around my waist!). BUT, I don't want to make one last ditch attempt. I don't want to gird my loins and start again. I would like to do this calmly and peacefully and finally.

I should never have gone no-carb as I have had kidney problems. I had a kidney removed!! High protein, low-carb diets are dangerous for people with kidney issues. I am going to do my version of all the books, programmes and articles I've watched, read and absorbed over the years. I have found the Lee Janogly books on binge eating and the mental, emotional side of over eating helpful. I would like to try forward planning and preparation. I am going to use this blog to plan what i am going to eat rather than record what I have eaten. Much more proactive. I think I should do this a day in advance. I did kind of promise to take the kids to the all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant on Saturday. D'oh and Double D'oh!

Today I had scrambled eggs and tomato for breakfast. For lunch I am going to have a smoked mackeral salad and I am going to have a tuna steak with something(?) for dinner. I'll have to think about what I can have for a snack.

I'll have to get my head around the exercise question too!
