68 years old - not getting any younger, but still hoping to become healthier and more attractive!

The caption under my profile photo says "Whizzing through the programme". In actual fact, I'm finding the Slowest Losers' turtle-plodding image far more helpful (but I'm leaving the photo there because I like it!)

My main aim here at SP is to become and remain binge-free. (I'd also like to lose 20 kg - progressing from "obese" to "healthy").

You CAN do it hun, I know it always seems impossible to start something over again, but having had a good day yesterday, you can have a good day today - it is practice! (I think!), I think of you often, and I hope your real orchid flowers really well! emoticon emoticon emoticon

A new "style of life" is a hard thing to start, and to maintain.. We too started off incredibly strong in January, with proper meals every day, but I too am very tired, perhaps I ran before I could walk (again), and this week has seen us eaten less of the good things and more of the things that make us lazy - our biggest fall down? Bowls of cereal! Instead of a cooked meal we are tired from doing so much, and end up neither of us wanting to cook and therefore we have a bowl of cereal instead - at least the intention to eat well is there, and our cereals are full whole wheat etc, but it makes me angry at myself for not getting on with cooking a meal... So many things make us tired! MS, pain, exercising frequently (I thought that was meant to make you feel better not even more tired!).. So I think we all need to cut a little slack and endure we are eating proper meals, and trying to just maintain the lifestyle changes - everything is in the Kitchen, it just needs cooking! On that note I am going to cook lunch! You will get there hun, it just takes time, and when you stop and smell the chocolates, or the fruit buns, or whatever it is, you need to make it a shorter pitstop and get back to eating healthily! You can do it! emoticon

LOL - not quite 24/7, but usually an hour or so a day. While doing other stuff, like eating lunch at my desk or something.
