Eat to live don't live to eat!
Hello everyone, well as the title suggests I'm coming back for my FINAL stint at cambridge!
I put a bit of weight on over Christmas, but I expected it because I really overindulged on alcohol, chocolate and pretty much food in general!
I know now that I have a problem with food, I am greedy and my portions are too big so I am going to educate myself on portion size and stop eating when I am full! My husband is a fantastic cook, to the point that his food is much better than most restaurants I have eaten at, and of course when I am being offered such nice food all the time, my greedy mind just wants more but unfortunatly my poor stomach doesn't need it!
I managed to get down to 11 stone and a healthy bmi at the beginning of November and then I just started to get slightly bigger portions, then bigger etc, you get the picture! So including my xmas gain I am now 11 stone 10lbs.
I do have a very good incentive for losing weight, my lovely husband is taking me to Paris in 6 weeks so if I can drop a stone by then I will be very pleased!
I am going to see my cdc tomorrow (weather permitting as it is very snowy) and will be getting 2 weeks worth as she is going on holiday! I am a bit aprehensive about a few things, the cold being a scary one as it is freezing and cd made me really cold in the summer but I suppose a couple of extra layers will sort that one out! The other is water... I have been drinking 2 litres a day most days but at the moment with it being so cold I am struggling, I seem to have a problem with drinking cold drinks when I'm cold and I can't drink warm water - can I just have a litre of water and a litre of black coffee? Black coffee I have no probs with in this weather!
Thanks for reading & hopefully I'll be a 'proper' member with my supplies tomorrow!
