My Journey to lose weight
January 24, 2010
It was my 30th birthday recently, and I had set myself a target to lose weight by this benchmark birthday, but I fell pregnant with my 3rd child and all plans flew out of the window. So now things have settled down I have decided to keep my promise to myself, but with no deadlines or targets as such.
I’ve been trying to get my head around what it would be like to be a healthy weight, as I have always accepted myself the way I am. I’ve never felt held back too much, but according to the BMI index, I am peeping into the obese. I am curious and afraid of what will come by losing weight. Its actually quite weird to think of myself as anything other than cuddly. In fact I would admit to eating to get my weight back up, as I was freaked to think of myself anything less than 12 stone – what a weirdo!
So I wish to explore my thoughts and revelations as I go through this journey. In previous attempts I’ve had to seperate myself from it and in that seperation I have allowed that part of me to disappear as I have decided to give up. I’ve done exercise classes, had a personal trainer ( but it was more for hanging out ), gone on the GI diet ( which is fantastic) and more recently given up dairy, alcohol and caffeine, combined with power walks. No plans as such, just a vague idea of possibly losing some weight. What lies beyond 12 stone?
My plan so far is to detox, to wipe the internal slate clean as it were. Then begin with the healthy eating plan and exercise. That’s it really. See where we go from there…..
