The hardest part about loosing weight for me is getting started, making the decision to do it. Fear of failure often puts me off starting and failure to keep it up prevents me from committing. This will be a private record, for my own use, lets see if writing everything down is as cathartic as they say.
Okay - so at the last weigh in I had I'm about 101kg- I will get a more accurate reading of that tomorrow.
I am 5ft3inches and a size 20 UK.
I'm married, have 3 boys aged 12, 7 and 9 weeks ...all delivered by c-section so I have no abdominal feeling.
I have always been heavy/big/chubby/cuddly/ built for comfort...all of which are euphemisms for being morbidly obese. Its time to stop hiding behind the fun names and make a change.
According to my doctor I have a BMI of approx 43 % - I don't really take part in exercises as I get out of breath really quickly - but more because I'm embarrassed ...no-one wants to see a
fat burd sweating.
As always I am inspired by the people around me - I've watched a girl at work loose 4 stone in about 8 months, all through healthy eating and exercise. I'm watching the biggest loser on TV and decided to stage an intervention on myself - I actually used the phrase "I am 'biggest loser' fat. y'know?" to describe myself....not good.
Its lunch time on day one and heres the story so far....
B'fast - 1 banana, 1 coffee 8am
no snacks Yay!
Lunch 1.30pm - pork steaks, an orange, an apple and a banana...1 cuppa tea.
....
+ve so far....had a hair cut, was tempted to weigh the clippings and see how much of a difference that makes ;)
have managed to stay away from the bread and nutella,
...baby slept for 8 hours last night x woo hoo x
-ve so far... fear....I'm scared to weigh myself , I'm scared to change AND scared to stay the same, I'm scared that I'll not be 'fun' anymore,
ETA - another cup of tea at 3.30pm, still no snacks...yay.
Main meal at 5.30pm - 2 chicken kievs, with cous cous and sweetcorn. Ok so not very healthy - but better than its been and still no snacks....also the hair looks awesome!
