Healthy update

This healthy living lark isn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Well, I mean not when I'm at Uni.

When I'm at Uni during the week, I can limit the amount of food available to me and therefore am less likely to go apeshit eating crazy at mealtimes. I am more likely to focus on portion control and am therefore capable of recognising when I'm full. My typical day involves Cheerios or a Coffee for breakfast, I carry Water and an Apple with me throughout the day in case I get peckish. Lunch is usually a sandwich and same with tea.

At home on the other hand, I have food on tap. Its available to me a thousand times over! Chippy up the road, pasties, pop, chocolate and then some, all as much as I can eat and believe me ladies and gentlemen I have very little willpower when I am at home. Here in Salford, between a healthy diet and swimming I am actually doing well for myself, but at the weekend I over eat massively. I suppose my healthy diet is more a question of will power than availability of food. I haven't changed my diet at all, just the circumstances in which I find myself eating.

I weighed myself this morning after a nice swim and am now Im 13st 1, which according to my previous post which I weighed myself (last November) means I have lost four pounds. My weight seems to have stabalised, which means for me to lose any more weight I am going to need to push myself beyond what I am already doing. I guess that means eating less and exercising more, although don't go getting the wrong idea here, I am not a health freak nor a body lover, I'm just trying something new. I really have an issue with beautiful people who are naturally good looking without even trying, and are vein about it. If at the end of this, when I have reached my normal weight bracket I don't like what I see then I will put the weight back on. I'm not getting thin to be beautiful (in fact, my ideal guy is someone with a little extra, I don't find thin people attractive) I am getting thin to see what its like, if means I can wear nicer clothes, or stop feeling so damn hot all the time, or if I am more flexible and can get those gymnastics down that Ive been trying.

I am body confident because of how far I've come, and don't have issues with my looks. In fact I carry my stretch marks and loose skin as battle scars of how big I was at my low point, and how far I've come. And they're fun to play with at parties.
