50lbs to lose, desperate to make changes.

After three years of binging and treating my body like a dustbin, I finally reached my snapping point, which is that my huge, baggy 'fat pants' that I wear for comfort on my period now no longer fit. I am too fat for my fat pants! Something has to change.

Weighing myself was a shock. I knew I had gained a lot of weight since I had my stroke, but... I'm just under 50lbs overweight and that feels like such a huge amount to lose. But I look at the amazing people here who have lost into the 100s, and I think, it can't be that bad, can it, surely?

New Year is a great 'excuse' to make changes, too. I've been running this year (which I think has saved me from even more weight gain) and have taken up a fundraising challenge to run 50 miles across January. I've got to do that, as I already have sponsors, so I think if I start trying to avoid binges and actually track what goes into my mouth, I should get results.
