Hi,
Did anyone see the documentary last night with Claire Sweeney called My Big Fat Diet?
I have been flicking through several of the new year diet shows... UK's Biggest Looser, Paul Mckenna... etc. etc. None of them can hold my interest, but I really got so much out of this documentary.
Claire went from a BMI of 21.3 to BMI 25.5 - the difference in her appearance in just 6 weeks of eating what she wanted is actually amazing.
She looks more healthy and attractive at BMI 21 - BMI 25.5 just puts her into the overweight category but this made a big difference not only on her looks but on her health assessment.
I completed 13 weeks of TFR on 23rd august, I started at a BMI of 31 and stopped at a BMI of 22.7 (my chemist would not let me get to my goal of BMI 21).
More than 4 months have passed and now I am weighing in with a BMI of 26
I hovered mostly between BMI 23-24 until the end of November, then I ate out 6 days in a row and I just ate what I wanted, I could feel the pounds just pile on. Then Christmas was approaching and I ate out 2 or 3 times most weeks in December.
Putting on so much weight in such a short time really made me feel so down about myself, and so frustrated.
Last night I realised that what had happened to me was perfectly normal. Anyone who eats what they want for a few weeks will get FAT!
Watching the TV show last night made me realise how much I want to get to and maintain a BMI of 21/22. It also made me realise that once I get there I can NEVER have a week or 2 off, because that just leads to a month or so, and then wham bam thank you mam, you are a fat whale again
I think as well when you loose a lot of weight, so many people start to tell you to stop once you reach BMI 25, this kind of messes with your head, when I got to BMI 22.7 people where telling me I was too skinny, but I didnt feel skinny, I was well aware that I still had some chub I would love to get rid off.
I am going to start Lipotrim again this month, and this time I will remain focused to get to my goal of BMI 21 and maintain BMI 21/22.
People will say that when you do TFR the weight will just pile on straight away afterwards. People expect you to get fat again. And when you are in the TFR zone you genuninely cannot believe that this will happen to you, "I'll show em" you think...
Claire Sweeney has been slim for years, she has maintained a healthy diet and exercise regime to keep her nice figure. So TFR has nothing to do with putting the weight back on, we could all do it the slow way, but the weight will just go on just as quick whether you loose it with TFR or with an "ordinary" diet.
I notice that there are quite a few old faces here on the forum, I cannot say I am "glad" to see you all! It would be my wish that we were all nice and slim and slender.
Life is journey, and we all have our ups and downs and make mistakes. I know where I have went wrong, and I hope that I have learnt my lesson, and when I get back to my goal, that I will have the discipline and will power to enjoy maintaining my new healthy body.
I look forward to watching everyone's weight loss journey in 2009, and lets make this reunion the last!
Lots of Love,
Julz
