Then sweating through last summer because I felt too embarrassed to wear anything cool that might reveal any of my flabby skin. Oh and there is the daily, "Oh what can I wear today that doesn't make me look like a bean bag." </div><div><br /></div><div>Not being able to stuff because you feel to tired or fat or old, really sucks.</div><div><br /></div><div>So I am putting the steps in place to lose 50 pounds by the time I am 50.</div><div><br /></div><div>On Tuesday I went and visited my GP. Just to check that I have no underlying issues. She has put me on Nexium to fix my mild reflux and ordered a ton of blood tests.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have to walk a little every day and eat healthy. Doctor's orders.</div><div><br /></div><div>My orders... </div><div>No eating after 9 pm, 2 fruit and 2 - 3 vegies serves every day. (I don't eat a lot. I just eat mostly the wrong things.)</div><div>Drink lots of water. I do drink a lot of herb tea so that one is cheating a bit as it will not take much effort. </div><div>Get more sleep. This is going to be the hardest. A restless partner who twitches and snores, too much time on facebook and my overactive mind are all something I need to work through.</div><div><br /></div><div>Start weight... (tuesday 12 october) 198 pounds</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1275875795985559363-3596382054861447307?l=fiftybyfifty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Fatbottomedgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12894338830637556573noreply@blogger.com0
