I am resurrecting this thread as I have started over and so far it is going well. I am on day 3 of my new lifestyle of eating well and no drinking and so far it is going very well. I haven't started exercising yet but allow me to use the excuse of how hot it has been. At the moment, exercise physically pains me in various places, especially my hips but I know I need to persevere.

My supper last night was lean pork chop (grilled), baby corn, carrots, mange tout, cherry tomatoes and cucumber. No carbs (I had carbs in the morning). I got peckish much later but as it was close to bed time only had a small low fat yoghurt.

I am determined to stick with this. This is MY year to lose weight and regain that confidence and self esteem that I lost so long ago. And regain the respect of my husband which I know I have lost.

I can do this. I will do this. This is my time. I will keep updating.
