Hello all. I have a dilemma. Any thoughts?
I've got a bmi of 24.3 now, and people are asking me how much longer I'm going to continue on foodpacks. I really don't know.
On the one hand, I've been doing this since August, and planning what life will be like as a slim person for ages, so it would be great to get on with the next bit of my plan. Also, family (v v supportive, thanks!) would like to have me joining in with meals etc. I also have really quite skinny legs and my face is quite hollow now (and I have wrinkles and my nose looks bigger!) I'm wearing 14s which are quite big now so I'm probably a 12 (5ft 6).
On the other hand, I'm not really where I want to be yet - I have this cushion of fat on my lower abdomen which I've had since I was about 8 and it just sits in my lap and I hate it! I know you can't spot reduce, and that I need to exercise my abs, but this is a definite lump of fat, which won't 'exercise away'. I feel that this is my best chance of ever losing my belly, and if I don't take it now, I'll regret not tackling it when I had the chance.
I currently weigh 68kg, about 10st 10, 150lbs. I think the answer is to hang on in there until about 9 or 9 1/2 stone, hoping the cushion will go. What would you do if you were me?
Thanks for your help. I need it!
