Right, gonna start this blogging idea. So this first one will be a big'un!
I've always gone up and down in weight ever since I had a problem when I was 16. My brother teased me about my weight for the entire 15 years we lived in the same house and at 16 I decided that eating nothing but diet coke, weedy pills and sugar free jelly was the way forward, I got down to 9st 10lbs, and at a large framed 5'10 I looked a bit gross! Since then I've yo-yo'd between 13 and 17stone.
I'm finally in a place where I'm happy with work/home and love. My boyfriend wouldn't change me and that feels amazing.
Happiness brings comfort though and I think I hit the heaviest I've ever been. (it doesnt help that hes a buff retired pro ice skater that loves to cook rich food and never puts on an ounce!!) I've decided to do it right this time, 2lbs a week with a healthy goal of 170lbs.
I'm nit joining a class or following a specific plan, I'm keeping a daily food diary on my net diary on my iPhone, my goal date is September first, keeping to 1430 kcal a day, watching my fat and carbs are under control, drinking 2litres of water a day and getting some regular exercise.
Been forcing my fella to take me ice skating, but so far I'm still using him as a balance-barrier, I'm rubbish!! It's good fun though and it knackers me out!
I'm a very tattooed lady, it's my job and I love my tattoos but sometimes because of my size I feel a bit butch, come September I'm hoping to give Kat Von D a run for her money!!
The hardest part is gonna be not becoming obsessed and beating myself up when progress slows, in ten days I've lost ten pounds, I know it won't continue like that though, but this time I'm gonna trudge on! This time I'm giving myself a treat day, which I've never allowed myself before. Saturday night till Sunday night, so I still get weekly treat of wine and roast dinner
Been thinking about asking my doc for xenical, but I don't want to become reliant on them so I'm gonna see how I get on in the first month or so.
Fingers crossed, and watch this space!
