My sister and I have decided to sign up for Weight Watchers for the first time.
Once I stopped being active at the end of 2022, my health has been in decline ever since.
I missed so many days of work last year due to being sick a lot. 99% of companies would have fired me because of how much time I missed. (Most of my leave was protected FMLA leave, but some of it wasn’t).
I know that I need to get back to my healthy eating habits.
Once I’m all healed from surgery, I want to get back to working out, too. 💪🏾
I truly feel at my best when I’m eating healthy and moving my body.

Hey, Hi, Hello.
Well, here I am again. Who am I? I’m Erica, 46, and it seems in a perpetual struggle with gaining weight.
My current weight is my highest ever, and is the result of grief and depression after I lost both my parents and my stepmother in the space of five months last year. We’ve just passed the first anniversary of my mother’s death. None of the deaths were expected, Mum was given up to six months and passed at three weeks.
Anyway...
Weight Loss Goal: Get from my current weight (around 132kg) to under 100kg. 95kg would be ideal.
Measurements Goal: I’m not sure what to aim for with my measurements, but I would like to get my stomach (measured at the navel) much closer to my waist measurement (measured just below the ribs, I have a ridiculously high waist). My stomach was never a place I held weight before I was put on Lyrica for my fibromyalgia - that was the thing which initially started me re-gaining weight I previously lost.
Fitness Goals: I hate being sedentary and unfit, so this is where a lot of my focus is going to go, trying to find a new balance that allows for chronic pain as well as fatigue.I need to work my way up to these goals, and keep in mind for myself that rushing in will not do me any favours.
exercise 7 days per fortnight
increase work out intensity/duration monthly
work on incorporating resistance training
increase walking distances
basically just get to the point where I can move much more
I would love to be able to do weight training again, but my wrists and shoulders are fucked. Also, about seven years ago my podiatrist told me I’m never allowed to run again because of my hip dysplasia. Which sucks, because I love running. There is an old bike here, maybe I can see if I remember how to ride one!
Food Goals:
stick to mostly water for drinks
cut down on ice cream
take away no more than twice in a fortnight - this allows a meal out when we go to the city for shopping day, plus one “lazy” meal option at home
cook good things in bulk and freeze
be aware of portion sizes, don’t “upsize” to counter flagging energy
Timeline:
I think with my current energy levels and executive dysfunction, aiming for two years is a good goal.
Exercise I need to get onto immediately. Which I’ve been saying since July.
I need to keep myself on track with food starting immediately. I have been making improvements with food, but slipping sometimes.
I’ve had fitblr/weight loss tumblrs before. I deleted one several years ago when I was in a bad headspace and just needed to wipe all my slates clean, then I had a bunch of false starts with Yes I should, ugh I can’t fitness and weight stuff. I’ve made an entirely new blog this time so I can have a focused dashboard with just weight loss and fitness stuff. I’m somebody who likes to compartmentalise things and file my information in the correct place.
I won’t be counting calories, part of the reason I’ve had so much trouble with weight fluctuations throughout my adult life is because I suffered disordered eating as a teenager, and tracking calories puts me back into the headspace of wanting to “beat the number”, which I know is not healthy. Instead I’m focusing on focusing my mind via this blog, and using Map My Walk to keep track of the walks I’m doing. Also doing my best to eat mindfully, not restrictively.
I no longer hate my body, but at this point I am physically uncomfortable and extremely frustrated by my lack of ability to engage the part of my brain that has always been up and out for a walk or off to climb a great big hill, or buzzing to get a work out done.
If you’ve made it all the way to the end of this post, you are a champion, and deserve a medal! 🏅

A few shots from my walk to and from Yoga today and then resting once I got home.
7 months ago when I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery I could barely walk 5 minutes in my back yard. Today I walked a total of 2 miles and did an hour and a half of yoga. I'm pretty fucking proud of myself.

Day 1 of getting back to healthy eating went well!
I hit all of my nutritional goals and more importantly, I didn’t feel like I was starving!
My blood sugar is back in healthy range, too!
I want to go into surgery as healthy as I can to help with my healing/recovery.
Speaking of surgery, I got my FMLA paperwork from the office today.
It mentions that the time I need off is “pending recovery” but it mentions that I could be out of work until June. 😮
I’m almost 100% sure that I won’t be out for that long, but I’m definitely not going to rush myself back.
