Hmm well I guess I should introduce myself.
My name is Ms Buzz and I need to get fit, healthy & learn to love myself.
I am twenty-something girl who is a size 16/18 (I think that is size 12/14 in US?), currently weigh 98kg (216 pounds) and honestly, I really don't like what I see when I look in the mirror.
I have tried shakes, Weight Watchers (with some success), Atkins, starving, throwing up and just trying to eat normally. I have joined gyms, sessions with Personal Trainers, walking, Wii and nothing. When I was living interstate I had no car and had to walk everywhere and was doing WW at the time and had success with that but when I moved home and met my BF I put all the weight back on... and then some.
Yesterday whilst getting ready for work I had a little breakdown. I couldn't find anything to wear that I didn't feel like a hippo in and just felt hideous (being sick with the flu doesn't help) and I need to do something about it.. physically, mentally and emotionally.
So my plan of attack...
I have joined a new gym with BF - having someone to drag me, I mean motivate me to go is going to help. I am also going to start to doing PT sessions soon. Once I am better (I am sick and taking antibiotics) I plan on starting off 3 times a week. I have gone too hard and fast before when starting off and usually it just burns you out.
Weight Watchers - going to start counting points again and possibly go to meetings. Cash is a little tight at the moment so I might have to have my own weight watcher sessions at home.
Psychologist - I have been to one before a few times and she is great and I need to go back to talk to her and learn how to like myself.
Tracking - writing down everything I eat & drink. Good & Bad.
I am hoping that having a blog and being 110% honest will help me be more accountable for what I do and if I can motivate someone else to make their own lives happier then even better.
Well thats a brief introduction and if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. And I love Toy Story hence my picture of buzz light year (even though I love Woody more, buzz goes with my whole fitness and beyond theme).
Ms Buzz
