Decided to get a personal trainer [long sorry needed to vent]

So I joined the gym a month ago with a free one month memebership

Joined up for a year after that and was given a free body assessment

Found out I have 42% body fat which is double the amount I am suppose to have
and
my waist is like 5 inches too big [your waist is suppose to be less then half of your height in inches so if you are 5 feet your waist should be 30 inches or less]

So long story short I decided I wanted a personal trainer which I will start up with in the middle of Aug

The one thing she told me though is to ask myself as I go to eat something does my body really need this

That has been the hardest part so far. I feel like I need every piece of food I am a comfort eater a bored eater a celebration eater

So from time to time I will be on here venting how I want dessert or food so thanks for putting up with me and listening to me in advance

Hopefully my numbers start to go down and I get healthy before the wedding and babies start showing up

Thanks again ladies

Good luck! I signed up for a gym too and starting with a package of 3 personal training sessions! I had my last one yesterday actually but they were amazing. I'm going to see if theres any way I can keep it up at least bi-monthly as a check in. They give you a great workout though! So far I'm down 5 pounds in 5 weeks. Are you logging your food too? Mine told me I should and I think its helping that I can see the calories for the whole, instead of just at each individual meal. Good luck again! Feel free to FM me if youd like to chat about it

I haven't started offically yet I am just trying to change my way of eating

I am a carb fool so I am trying to avoid them

Once i actually get into it I will start logging my food

good luck!!!!

I'm working at it too! I use caloriecount.com to track my food intake. Create an account. . .it's a very useful site!!

the website analyzes what you're eating and tells you what you need more of, and what you are not getting enough of. check it out!

You should be proud of yourself for being proactive and asking for help! Once you start seeing results, you will be so pumped and unstoppable!

we can do it!

good luck!
You can totally do it, stay focused and keep going even though you feel like nothing is happening.
I totally understand about the boredom/comfort eating, I do it too. Its a battle.

good luck!

I still have yet to use my free training session at my gym... I would love to have a personal trainer but can't afford one right now so I'm gonna use that session to let them teach me what I need to know to improve certain areas and then go it alone from there
