Okay so I figure writing a diary can help motivate me to get rid of the last of the baby weight! I will seriously try anything! So here goes......
My best weight is around 10st 7- I was 10st 2 when I got married in summer 2010 however I trained really hard to get down to that weight and although I would love to get there I am trying to get to a realistic 10 stone 10 (less would be embraced however baby steps...!) I gave birth to my gorgeous daughter 6 months ago- and during the pregnancy I saw it as a chance to embrace my inner fat person and ate and ate and ate- chocolate mainly! I put on 4 stone so ended up around 14 stone 7 (well I was that at 38 weeks- stopped weighing myself after that!). My daughter was 8lbs 1 and after the birth I went to 13 stone 7. This is the heaviest I have been (without a baby inside me!) I damaged my coccyx bone during the birth so couldn't exercise like planned however through dieting I have managed in the past six months to get myself to 11 stone 2. Great- however.... I live abroad and have endless visitors from the uk who come here for a holiday, meaning eating out, drinking etc. Each time they come I seem to go back up to 11 stone 7/8 and then have to work hard to get the pounds off again- it is really making me fed up!! I wish I had more self control but don't want to be miserable when they have paid to come and see us.
Now I use these as an excuse for cheating on the diet or not doing exercise:
Visitors, working full time and having a 6 month old baby- (maternity leave here is 7 weeks, i managed to squeeze 9 weeks out of work however it is still outrageous!) Being too tired in the evening as my working day start at 6am so I get up at 5 everyday- also the odd night when the baby wakes- luckily she is normally an angel and has been sleeping through since 7 weeks old! I am sure there is more...
Now my aim is to not use these as an excuse anymore and just get rid of this weight.
First weight in tomorrow (I am an obsessive weigher too so need to try and tone that down- I step on the scales about 10 times a day!) I can guarantee I am not 156 pounds and more- GULP!! Well it is time to face the music and sort this out once and for all- I feel so much happier thinner.
Hopefully this diary will stop me being a diet bore with everyone around me who isn't interested- especially my husband!
Tomorrow is the start of my thinner future- I will succeed this time. I am 30 in july and I will be thinner!!
(if anyone has read this then I apologise for stealing minutes of your life that you won't get back ha ha!!)
