I need to desperately lose weight. It's gotten to the point where I am avoiding going out in case I see somebody who knew me years ago. Cause I hate for them to see me this way.
I used to be so thin, I worked so hard at it though - 4 hours excercise a day and I lived on Diet Coke (Not healthy at all).
Anyway years ago I was put on a Cortisone (sp???) & put on heaps of weight. I tried so hard to lose it but was bloated from medication & was not seeing results. Anyway thats around when I met my husband & I got comfortable & really started to let myself go. I wasn't motivated cause I wasn't seeing results on my body & it was easy to miss the gym & go out & eat the same portions that he was eating.
I'm not making excuses . I am this size because I let myself get to this size. I put other things before my health. The thing is it was always one extreme or another. Dieting or binging!!! I never just ate healthily!
Anyway 2 kids & 7 years later I need to lose 24kg.
How do I plan to do this???
- I will make healthy options. No more junk food, and lots more salads
- I will put my health first
- I will go to the gym 4 times a week & on other days will dance around with my kids or take them to the park for a walk and a play
My aim is to get down to a size 10 (australian). I need to do this not just for myself but for my kids. I want my kids to see a healthy mum. I don't want them to have the same relationship with food that I have. I want them to eat good food & enjoy it because that's what they saw their mum doing. I want them to excercise for enjoyment not because they need to lose weight.
I will keep you posted on my success!!!
