Ok, here we go again!

Although I am still at the begining of my long road to slimness, I haven't given up totally. I find that reading about other peoples success's really encourages me to believe in myself. Other people can do it and there is no reason why I shouldn't. We have just celebrated the festival of Eid which is a bit like Christmas in that there is loads of food and rich food too. Time is spent with family and when you visit someones house, you must eat. I really feel unhealthy and sluggish and I don't like the feeling. Today I made a decision to cut down rather than go on THE DIET. Tommorow I may feel strong enough to start a diet. I am hoping to lose a bit of weight before heading back to the gym but I don't feel confident yet. My sister will probably get married next year and I must lose weight for that, I suppose that is my main incentive now and I guess if I give myself a year to achieve my goal, then I have enough time if I start now. Anyway, got to go.

I think the biggest difference this time around has been embracing this as a lifestyle and not using the word "diet" I started by changing a few habits at a time and I try to make the best and most healthy choices for my body every day. There are days when I allow certain foods but always using moderation because nothing is off limits if there is moderation. I'm glad you decided to start blogging again, it really helps you stay accountable knowing others are out there reading your words and watching your success. Don't do what I've done so many times and wait until the last minute and then be filled with self loathing and regret because I waited too long to start. If you start now and stay on course, looking fabulous for your sisters wedding will be a very achievable goal.

I think that this is a great idea to take it one small step at a time. I am doing the same thing and am seeing a conservative loss. I will someday add the other stuff but I want to make some of the small steps second nature first.
You are as cute as a button by the way!

Hope you're still doing alright on your dieting and that spring has sprung a new you. If not, just jump back on the bandwagon and don't look back.
