Hi everyone,
I have not been on for a while, everything is fine, just living life at the moment, and taking a break from being on the comp so much. Thanks for all your support in the past.

Tools to use are, eating slowly, eating only when hungry, and walk for 30 mins.

Planning on doing a little spring cleaning today, so will be active today. I am going to set some time aside this afternoon to makes some cards.

Still feeling focussed and taking one day at a time, not worrying about tomorrow just concentrating on today.

I hope everyone has a great day! I will catch up on the blogs later on.

Having a better day today. Really thinking before I eat and have a plan in place if emotional eating shows its head. I have been listening to the relaxation mp3 and it has helped alot. I do seem more focussed today.
I have walked into town and back today, about a 20 min walk each way. I met my Daughter for lunch and I had a lovely soup and only ate a little of the roll with NO butter. I stopped eating when I was full and feel really pleased with myself. Just going to take one day at a time and see how things go.
Mandie, you know it has never crossed my mind about exercising with someone else. I will give it a go, I am planning on joining a gym but waiting until I start working. My daughter has offered to exercise with me, but that has yet to happen! lol
Off to catch up with the blogs, take care everyone.

Had a few down days, as in eating rubbish and just eating even when not hungry. I had a good talk and think to myself while in the bath tonight. I did ask myself if I really wanted to lose weight and get fit, and I really do. I feel better for having a talk to myself.
It has not been all bad, I did not buy a choc bar when buying one for my daughter on the way to my parents house today. I have started exercising again, and I am enjoying it. I am going to keep a food diary and also note down why I am eating and how I am feeling at the time.
Looking back over the last few months, things have been difficult and there are alot of changes I am still trying to get used to, but on the whole I am getting there. There is NO chance of me giving up, its just not an option for me. So onwards and upwards I will go!
Thanks for reading!

Morning everyone.

I have done my exercises for this morning and it felt good to be getting back into a routine. It was a struggle though, I had a conversation with the duck this morning. Obviously he wanted to stay in the nice warm bed, but I won and I did get up and get on with it. My routine from now on is get up about 8, exercise, breakfast, walk, housework, and then cardmaking.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Woke up to snow on the ground this morning, very pretty, but it does look icey out there. Walking into town today with Hubby and Fiona (my daughter). It does look lovely out, the sun is shining.
Pleased to say I am still feeling positive and my low mood seems to have gone. I have a plan in place should it return. First I will blog it out, then go and do something that will make me happy, like listening to music, exercise or go for a walk. I have finally got an appointment for my foot, in the middle of Feb, which is good as it has got worse. It will be good to see if they can do something for it as I really want to start running. Everytime I think about running I get really excited and it is a little frustrating that I can't do it at the moment.
Today I am going to concentrate on using the eat natural food tool and being active tool. I always find it hard at the weekend as everyone else tends to sit around doing nothing. Good news is Hubby is starting to get into a health kick, due to a medical prob so I am taking full advantage of that fact! Hubby is 50 now and it will do him good to get fit and healthy.
My daughter Fiona is coming with me to the vitality show, she is only 17 so we won't be going to the evening party. I do hope to meet some of you at the show though, we are going on the Saturday if anyone is interested is meeting up, let me know.
Right off to kick someone out of bed, I do love doing that!! lol
Have a good day everyone!

I just turned down some chocolate! My Daughter has just gone to the shop and she kept asking me if I wanted something. At first I was thinking of having something but remembered how I would feel after I had eaten it. I kept to my guns and just kept saying NO! I am sure she was testing me! lol

I am feeling so much better about things now and I am now right back on track.

I hope everyone is having a lovely evening.

I had a great day yesterday and only ate healthy food and only when I was hungry. I know its only been a day, but I do feel alot more postive and happier, long may it continue.

I had no starchy carbs yesterday and found it quite easy to do. I felt alot more aware of how my body felt and I am going to try it again today.

I hope everyone has a good day today!

Feeling okay this morning although I have been thinking alot about where I am heading and the way I cope with what life throws at me. I know I have not coped in the best way in the last few months, and I do want to change that. I feel that I use food to fill a void in my life. I do have my Husband and my Children around me, and for that I am grateful, but there does seem to be something missing. I am getting to a turning point in my life now and it is going to be my time. This is a scary thought but also a very exciting one. From the age of 21 I have been looking after someone, always putting someone else first, well this can change now.
I am going to be the Queen of postive thinking and I am going to exercise and I am going to eat healthy, natural foods. I will put me first and I will achieve all I want to achieve to make me happy.
Off to my parents today, not going to use that as an excuse to stuff my face, no matter what Mum offers me! I am strong and I can do this!!!!!
Have a good day everyone!!

Hi Everyone,

Big thank to the support I have got from my petecohen.tv friends, you know who you are!
I am slowly getting there and today I almost feel like my old self. I have been eating well and have had only good healthy things today and I feel alot better. I have also been out for a lovely walk and realised how much I have missed that.

Looking forward to tonight on the Superfan session. Do you need a web cam for tonight? Mine has decided not to work so wondered if I need to go and get another one today.

I hope everyone has a good day!

This last week has been a bit of a roller coaster. I am struggling to get into exercising again, which is not helping me feel better. I have had some good days so just going to be patient with myself.
Will try and catch up later with the blogs.

for all the support and comments on my last blog, you guys are an amazing group of people and your support means alot to me.
I had a good day yesterday and I was quite busy. I spent alot of time with my eldest daughter and we had a good chat. My youngest daughter was around yesterday too, she is usually out so it was nice to see her. She always manages to make me smile not matter how I am feeling. It was good to hear myself laugh and I am definately heading to a better place.
Having my hair cut today, so over my parents house. It always feels like going home. When I get back I am going to do some resistance exercises, which I am looking forward to doing.
Off to London on Saturday with my eldest daughter, we are going to see Wicked, we are both really looking forward to it. It will be just her and me and its lovely spending time with each of my daughters on their own. I just have to try and pry my youngest away from her boyfriend when I want time with her! lol Awww do you remember when you were young and in love??
Right off to get ready and fight for the bathroom!
Thanks again everyone, you know who you are!

I have been feeling lost and down over the last week. Yes I know I should of blogged but I really did not know what to say as its difficult to put how I feel into words at the moment. Everything has gone to pot and I really have not cared about what I have been doing or not doing. Family life is difficult at the moment and that is not helping at all. I have managed the odd walk and I have been on the Wii a few times. Other than that I have not really been doing anything.
I am trying to be positive and do more, and its is getting better a little every day. I will try and blog more this week and I hope you will all forgive me for not blogging or commenting on your blogs recently. I have been to the docs and he would like me to try exercising rather than putting me on drugs, which I am happy with. Will see how things go.
