Please kick my butt!!
I've just been looking up my BMI and weight on the nhs charts and realised that have to drop nearly 5 stone to get in to the over weight range. OMG what have i been doing to myself all these years?
Why have i never properly realised how heavy and fat i am? i've been yo yo ing for years and always coming up with an excuse to break diets, even when they are working.
I started this with purely selfish reasons following a horrific evening with a friend of mine. I was up to the eyeballs of hearing her say i've done really well this week. i've only had salads twice a day and my breakfast in the mornings. Its this thyroid problem thats done it you know.
Truth is she now has a mildly underactive thyroid that has been caused by being over weight. Its so mild that her GP cant give her any meds and has told her that loosing weight will sort it out. But annoyingly she's happy to use it as an excuse....its so easy for you to loose weight, youdont have an underactive thyroid!!! the cheek!!!
if we stand side by side you would say that she was deffinatly the larger woman (believe me i am not kiddng) yet she believes she is only a size 16-18. at least i admit i'm a 20-22.
Now ive had my lightbulb moment my priorities have changed. I dont want to spend the rest of my life making excuses for my weight, not being able to play with my kids or worse still leaving my kids to fend for themselves coz i'm six feet under.
The added bonus will be to stick my new skinny ass in my friends face and say "no excuses just did it"
