Hi All!!
Would you believe this is my first time posting on a forum of any sort?! I just stumbled on this site by accident and have been reading some of the posts . . . great support and sucess stories . . . I think that there is no greater motivation than keeping a diary that can be seen by OTHERS not just myself so here it goes, wish me luck!!
So, Im 30, a mum of two, work full time i(n an office sitting on my bum all day and nibbling constantly). Im currenlty 12st13lbs, my heaviest weight ever apart from when I had just had my second child. Im blaming christmas last year, we stayed at my Mum in laws she laid on mountains of the most delicious home cooked pies and cakes and I swear I think that I developed a food addiction because Iv basically been stuffing my face ever since then. I had always been able to control my weight, when ever I put on a few pounds I would just cut back and go for longer runs but the only thing I'v cut back on over the last few months is excersising! I'v watched myself go up 2 dress sizes Im now a size 16, and despise all my cothes, finding something to conceal my horrendious belly on a daily basis is becoming a nightmare. As with many Mums, the bane of my life is my belly. My weight is almost all on my tummy and hips, at the minute I have the most awful bloated 'spare tyre' that practically sits out on my lap when Im sitting down. I'v gotten into that awful cycle of being down about my weight, then stuffing my face thinking 'to hell with it I'm fat anyway' then feeling awful about the amount of rubbish I'v eaten. Im tired all the time, going from one sugar rush to the next and Im just fed up and annoyed at myself for allowing things to get this way.
So Im about to embark on the Lipotrim diet. Now I know alot of people will say its a reciepe for disaster and that it dosnt work, but it HAS worked for me in the past. After I had my first child I did lipotrim for four weeks and lost almost 2st. I felt on top of the world and managed to keep it off with excersise & healthy eating. The thing I found is that after a while I didnt crave the chocolate and pizzas any more, I remember feeling disgusted by greasy fast food and thats the feeling I need to get back because Iv turned into a total junk food addict! I'v chosen this diet because I feel I just need a kick start, to reprogramme myself to respect food again, and just because I dont trust myself to pretend I'll only eat certain foods on any other diet.
I expect that having this diary to fill in at the end of each day is going to be a great motivator. My biggest challenge will be the first few days when I am preparing meals for my husband & children, I love to cook and do all the cooking so having food in my face all the time is going to be tough at first but Im just going to squeeze that flabby belly when Im tempted to remind myself of why Im doing this!
My goal is to LOOSE THE BELLY & get back into my size 10's & also to break this awful junk food which Iv developed. I'v always loved running but I'v been really sporadic with excersise ever since christmas, I'll do some great workouts one week then none for another 3 weeks, pointless!! But Im leaving the workouts until I finish lipotrim, nothing strenous while I'm on it.
I WILL be in that little black dress at christmas!!
