First name: Rachel
Geographical location: Edinburgh, Scotland Age: 24 Marital Status: Living together Children/Ages: None Occupation: Property Management Pets: My childhood pet cat still lives with my mum! Hobbies/Interests: Art, crafts, and reading Height: 5ft 1in Eye/Hair Color: Brown Eyes/Blonde Hair Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: 01/Feb/17 Starting Weight: 175.5lbs Present Weight: 143.5 lbs Goal Weight: 110lbs Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Dealing with emotional eating. Whether it's to celebrate something great, or to fill some sort of void, I have used food for far too long as a way of managing my emotions. I want to start viewing food as just a fuel for my body, but find it difficult to do so. Following any specific plan: Maintaining a calorie deficit by logging everything I consume on My Fitness Pal. This also involves weighing and measuring everything I consume. I plan to start running and hope to run my first 10k in 12 months time. What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I have managed to stick to it much longer as it is more of a change in lifestyle than a diet. If I seriously want a takeaway pizza and absolutely nothing else will do - I'll have it! The difference is I'm not having it EVERY time I want it and I adjust my consumption to fit treats in. Anything else you would like to share with us: I used to be very slim until I was around 20 when I suffered a traumatic bereavement. My emotional eating got out of control as I used food to deal with my grief. I've got to a stage where I can't go on like that anymore and undersand being healthy will bring me more hapiness in the long run. |
