I’ve been blogging so much about wanting to be the true me and having surgery to achieve that but there is one thing stopping me… my weight.
I can see the goal in sight but my current weight is holding me down that it is taking forever to get to the goal, but i am getting there.
For the past 5 years I have been working in a supermarket bakery, so i am surrounded by food so it does get tempting to snack myself on some crisps or chocolate after I finish work or before I go to bed and that just builds up.
Prior to the first lock down, i was doing rather well weight loss wise via Weight Watchers then lock down happened and it just ruined everything.
I am trying to get into a routine but sometimes it stops during cover baker shifts at work which involves working at night, so it messes with my body clock.
A lot of this it involves will power, which I do lack sometimes.
The other that while I am on hormones, I have got very serious health risks if I gain anymore weight/stay the weight I am at eg blood clots and weak bones to name a few.
You would think the risk of possible death would get me off the chocolate etc but snacking is a bad habit to break.
I get blood tests (my choice) every 3 months while I get my male hormone blocker, so 4 times a year my doctors will know how I am.
While I am trying to break the habit, I have been going to the gym every now and then. I have been holding off the gym for years but when there was one that opened across from work & it was 24/7, how could I say no?
Because I work different hours throughout the day so this was great to find out it was 24/7.
Just so people and myself know I am going and I am not lying about it, I have been taking pictures and videos of myself while there to prove I am going.
If it works, it works.
My goal weight for surgery is 16 stone 9 pounds (google what that is in your measurement) and currently at 18 stone 2 pounds from where I was awhile ago aka 19 stone 7 pounds.
So I am losing it, just some more to go!
With that, I think this is the end of this topic for now til further weight loss and then the surgery!
