   On tuesday, my gp checked my blood pressure and my weight and found that both were high but not too much.

Nevertheless, I was advised to take regular exercise and make changes in my diet in terms of the types of things i've been eating.

That will no doubt continue to be challenging because for a long time I've been eating too much high fat, sugar, salt and saturated fat so called snacks such as potato chips, peanuts, cashew nuts and alot of processed frozen things like chicken steaks highly spiced and cod in batter, all of which I tend to eat with two plates of Basmati rice with side food later such as a toasted cheese sandwich, a steak and kidney pie and from time to time, a pan of roast potatoes.

Then I tend to go and lay down and watch tv before going to sleep.

Basically, my current lifestyle isn't good for my physical or mental health.

Yet, I find it difficult to find the way to get a hold of myself and work on trying to turn my life around, including my diet.

I'm almost 58 years old and I still have low self esteem.

My nerves aren't too go and so I tend to stay home most of the time.

From time to time, I feel like giving up but I remind myself that I don't want to go out that way.

Yet, I continue feeling depressed and that's when I tend to use food but that doesn't help cause my weight goes up and it's become a cycle that I've not yet changed.

I wonder what, it will take to change my life and whether I'll be happy doing so?

Can anyone relate to my situation?

BTW, my current weight is a bit over 196 pounds and my height is 5ft 6.

         

welcome to my blog!
i'm gonna try my best to update here as regular as possible.

well, today has been ok but i am getting tired of being overweight.
i skipped having dinner this evening because i ate a late breakfast and am still full,, so i just warmed up some spicy chicken wings and ate a few of those for my dinner.

i was planning to go out for a bike ride but i really dont feel up to riding tonight so i'll go another evening.

i havent weighed myself in a while so i'm not exactly sure of my exact weight but i am sure i need to lose some!

i took a few webcam photos earlier 
my body is not in good shape.
i cant believe i could reach almost 40 years old and let my body get so flabby and out of shape.
ive always been a big eater since i was a young boy and i guess it has caught up with me.
i rarely take exercise now that i am unemployed
so that contributes to my out of shape body.
but i have to turn this around..i have done it before and i feel sure i can do it again but its going to take alot of discipline and determination
but i'm gonna try.
i'll update to let other slimmers know how i am progressing.

well i think thats all for now.

bye for now ;  )
