So far I have done weight watchers, slimming world, diet chef and I am resolutely 14 stones. (it was getting embarrassing to attend the sessions once a week and have everyone in the room hear that once again I had not lost anything and having to come up with a 'how to do better plan' with everyone listening! Never mind expensive!)
I am not happy being 14 stones. I hate being a fat blob but I am a depression eater and it always gets me in the end. Embarrassing weigh in - chocolate bar on the way home - I have the rest of the week to make amends! The thing is I have been 14 stones for a long time now pretty much constantly so at least I am not getting any bigger!
Anyway the other day we were talking about decorating the spare room and hubby commented that we should keep the decor neutral so he would not have to decorate it again shortly for the baby - news to me! He always said babies were for when we were in our early 30's but as we slowly approach our 30's he has changed his mind. (maybe he has realized that we are not suddenly going to become proper grownups as soon as we hit 30!) Well this change in time scale has knocked me for six a bit. I know that my current weight is unsafe for pregnancy - never mind making the whole thing less likely to even happen! My BMI is 32 now to scrape to a normal BMI of 25 I need to get to around 10.5 stones. Hmmm.
The thing is I don't know which is the best way to go. I resent the thought of paying a company to 'help' me lose weight - money which should go in baby fund now. My weekly £10 chocolate money is being diverted straight to baby fund so I cannot spend it! I know how to lose weight - eat less and exercise more! Eat the right things - dont go for a curry every night! Going back to the food mum used to cook for me when I was younger when I was a gorgeous 8 stone 18 year old with a six pack men were jealous of! That was only 8 years ago! (before university and the horrible Pill)
Is anyone else trying to go it on their own - I am trying to think would I be ashamed to be eating this in front of mum - if the answer is yes then put it away! I need to stop eating portions the same size as my husband and to stop being so greedy with food - get away from the just add a bit more rice/pasta as I don't want to risk being hungry. Stop eating the chocolate! Am I being silly to make up a diet as I go along or should I go back to one of the 'proper' route of losing weight? (I hate having to follow rules - a diet handbook just throws me into a panic - I hate to feel restricted in what I can eat)
