I have thought about gastric bypass , watched the tv shows. seen the sucess storries but honestly i dont think its for me. I dont need a more complecated relationship with food and that seems to be what it leads to. You will never be able to eat normaly again and i cant do that. But if its something you think will work for you then go for it.
I know walking can be hard so start slow. Dont start an hour every day just walk alittle more every day than you did the day before.
the dayly recomendation is around 10 000 steps and by using the pedomoter i found out i do on avarage less than half of that, go figure im not loosing weight i just dont move enough. So now i use the thing every now and then and it actualy motivates me to step hunt. To find ways to fit in a few more steps even when i havent been walking around all day.. Today i was feeling like crap, whanted to throw up cuz od migrain and i got of the buss at Netto to do some shopping for dinner. Instead of getting on the buss again after i walked home. thats about 5-6 buss stops. It dosent take an hour and i was happy i got the steps in.
The thing is, atleast for me, that if i do the exercise im less likely to have the sweets. im like you, cakes, tarts, sweets, candy, crisps, chees doodles (yummy). I love them and with my migrains i crave them as well both before, during and after the atacc and sometimes its about the only thing i can actualy eat when im realy realy down with an attac. But if im working, if im more active im also more aware that they are bad for me and i know the work it takes to pay for them.
i have a sugestion for you, and if your up for it, a challange.
i whant you to look at your life as it is right now. look at your habbits when it comes to exercise and food and sweets. keep a journal for one week and be painfully honest in it. if you eat an entire princess cake (my favorit) then write it down. If the only walking you do during this week is back and forth to the bathroom, write that down to. try and track how many hours you sleep as well. then next sunday you can pick one thing to do better in each area, or maybe even one thing if it seems to much to do more.
if you didnt walk at all. maybe a thing to change is that you get of the bus one stop earlyer two times next week, its not overwhelming to do that is it?
This is how im looking at it. I challange myself with things. There used to be a grupe here that held regular challanges. things like for two weeks we have to drink 1 l water more. or go to bed before midnight.
It realy isent the end of the world if you mess up and dont do the work but it gives you something to work towards. and they say good habbits takes two to three weeks to build.
Im not in the same city, but atleast the same contry.
talk soon
