I'm sure this is going to be very dull but thought it may keep me on the straight and narrow.
I am 31 - last Sunday. I remember approaching 30 and thinking - must lose weight - but nothing happened. I am so lazy. My lovely husband proposed a month before my 30th and we got married in February this year. I was good but didn't lose much weight - maybe a stone. (Which is a bit like a drop in the ocean!) I wanted to be a slim bride but had no willpower and I think I also thought why should I slim - there seemed to be an expectation that I would slim down to nothing and grow my hair - so being a stubborn ***** I cut off my nose to spite my face and stayed as a fat cow and now have fat wedding photos! Still love them though!
I know I can diet. I did slimming world about 5 years ago and lost about three stone. But of course laziness, stress, circumstances all meant it has gone back on. I am back to my heaviest weight but now I am doing something about it!
So why now?
We have decided to try for a baby. I am 31 and although that isn't ancient I still think it could take a while to conceive and want to make sure I have a good chance of getting healthily pregnant with healthy baby - so the fat has to go!
I am giving up alcohol - as recommended when trying to conceive (I keep telling myself that!), I'm doing slimming world and about to go and buy wii 'Just Dance'. (which hopefully will gather less dust than wii fit!- oops) And apparentyly I should give up caffeine - which is going to be the hardest - just tried camomile tea and nearly threw up - perhaps I could just cut down
This is our first month of TTC so I suppose there is teeny weeny chance I may be pregnant but whether I am or not. my lifestyle is changing - now!
