2007 Resolutions:

I have more or less set myself a deadline of 6 months as from today on these goals: 9th of July 2007 if I can achieve any of them any sooner so much the better!

The Biggies......
1. Lose 50lbs and get a beautiful slim body
How:
1. Lose at least 2lbs every week!
2. Eat no more than 1500 cals per day reducing to 1200 cals when needed.
3. Exersize for at least 30 minutes everyday.
4. Go the the Gym at least 5 times a week.
5. Eat only healthy freshly prepared food.
6. Eat 7 portions of fruit and veg a day.

This is in many ways the big one, I just need to stay focused on my goal of 2lbs per week and if I can do that I will reach my target on time.

2. Get into the post graduate art course I want to do starting Oct 2007.

This is another major goal requiring swift attention as the deadline is March 1st.
This is a slight problem for me as I am am afraid that I will not get in financially it is my only option currently and after pervious disapointments I am scared that another will break me all over again and yet I must get past the fear because if I do not apply I will never have any chance of a place.

So I guess this one is about conquering my fear.

3. Get my skin in shape, so that I have beautiful, flawless skin.

How:
1. Follow Dr Hauschka routine every morning and night and do steam and mask treatments at least 2 times a week
2. Drink 2.5 liters of water each day
3. Drink 2 cups green tea each day
4. Take supplements esp: omega oils everyday!
4. Get 8 hrs sleep each night.
5. Use facial Exercise , toner and massage.
6. Do facial home peels as nessesery.
7. Reduce Stress
8. Salon treatments: galvanic, red veins etc to sort out little problems.

4. Be as beautiful as I can be.

This follows on mainly from the weightloss and sorting out my skin once these things are done, i indend to get a really good haircut and a makeover and shopping spree.

In the meantime:
Body brush everyday, moisturies, eat well, dead sea salt baths, body mud, sleep, brush and floss teeth etc
Take care to avoid sagging skin.

5. Improve my self belief, self esteem and confidence!

In order to achieve this goal it is nessesery for me to work to wards the others in a steady fashion. I am not out for the quick fix this time but am working to improve my self belief by working towards small goals one week at a time. For too long I have wanted the quick fix and it never works, I so often feel that I have wasted so much of my life already that I want to drop 20 lbs in too weeks and after years of setting myself up for failure it is time to break the pattern, be realistic and start to get some of my self respect back, to stop being so afraid and just do it!

I read recently that being overweight was in somecases an outward expression of low self esteem. I think it is true in my case, which is why it is vital I improve this area if I hope to lose the weight once and for all.

6. Take good care of myself.

How:
1. Sleep more: 8 hrs per night
2. Eat Better
3. Get into a routine
4. Make better use of my time
5. learn to relax
6. drink more water
7. be more organised

No More new starts: THIS IS IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I frequently have a few good days even a week only to have a bad day and then I say to myself I'll just have that chocolate bar or packet of crisps and restart my diet tomorrow or monday and because I feel that this is my last chance to eat all the things I want before the diet starts I pig out!
After a year of this behaviour I have put on 21 lbs!
I need to accept that this is it, and stop being such a perfectionist. One slip up is not a reason to binge and so forth.
This is a big worry and I need to find real commitment to change.

Why I want to change:

1. because I hate myself the way I look, I look ugly in my clothes and I feel old and invisible.
2. because I want to express who I am through my image / style I want to be noticed and I don't want to be seen when I am fat.
3. I am so tired of hating myself and feeling a failure or seeing the negitive side of every situation. I really feel that I need to sort my life out now and create a future for myself before I hit 30 or I don't know if I can go on.
