Don`t want to look this way any longer!

I don`t want to look the way I do anymore, so I decided to do something to change it. I am too heavy and I realised I would feel much happier, within myself, if I lost weight. Now I have said this many times before, and have been a yoyo dieter for years so you can be forgiven for thinking "here we go again". In the past I have lost a bit of weight, then put it back on again, and more. When my son got married I was more determined, after all I had something to aim for, and I managed to loose 6 stone in weight, and yes I felt better for it. I hoped it might help the pain I get because of my arthritis but unfortunately that remained the same, but my appearance gave me more confidence and I felt better about myself. Unfortunately, because I take hormones for breast cancer, which make me put on weight, and also because I was not so careful with the food I eat, I put on a little weight, but not the whole 6 stone, I gained about 2 stone. I could see myself putting on the whole 6 stone altogether if I did nothing about it, so I decided to take myself in hand and start my healthy eating routine again. I am being more strict with myself and trying to make sure I do not eat more than I need to, and avoid foods high in fat and sugar and so far I have managed to loose 12 pounds.  I always find the first week of a diet to be the most difficult, but as the weight starts to reduce, and as my body gets used to the new regime, it gets easier and my determination strengthens. It is great to discover that loss of a pound or two when I stand on the scales and that encourages me to carry on with what I have started. I have certain clothes in my wardrobe which I would dearly love to wear but at the moment I am unable to get them on so that is my aim, to be able to wear that beautiful coat, to do up the button on those trousers, to wear the top with the lovely design on the front. I might be 57 years old but that does not mean I have to be frumpy and wear clothes resembling a sack. Hopefully I can succeed this time, I am going to try very hard to do so, I know that.  :-)
