Yup, just don't have the rubbish in the house to eat. Spoken as someone who had 24 chocolate ganache tartlets in the house *yesterday* and now ... er ... they're gone! Expensive treat lol
I'm fat too but its a phase, it will pass, and then I can permanently get rid of all my fat clothes. Fat is relative too, my 'fat' is probably someone else's goal weight, but its still 10kg too much for me. I'm a small-boned lightweight normally.
Breastfeeding is a great license to eat lots in the meantime :)
OMG I could have written your post almost word for word .. I had my "I'm fat" moment just before DD baptism when I tried on a dress in a 16 and it was tight, needless to say I burst into tears and couldn't get home fast enough. I know a 16 isn't big for some people but for me its HUGE. I flatly refuse to post any photo's that have me in it because I am so damned ashamed of how I look. I am just over 80kg and my ideal weight for my height and shape is 60- 64 at the most. I know I have been cruel to myself following NIkita's death and also for my other 2 unknown angels but THIS is Disgusting, I feel YUK.
I am increasing my water intake atm and trying to walk daily either on the treadmill or down one of the dirt roads but I struggle. I am scared because I am BF that I will ruin my supply when it has been a HUGE issue for me right from the get go.
I want to be fit and healthy so I can be a good example to my DD .... sorry for the hijack ....... I so know how you are feeling x x x
Okay, after all of your advice, I've sat myself down and made a really good plan of attack.
-Proper exercise, to begin with once a week; I'm going to do Zumba with the lovely Feeb :dance:
-More incidental exercise; taking the stairs, walking instead of buses etc etc
-Walking faster. I am the slowest walker EVER. I'll push myself more!
-A brisk walk around the block, every few nights to begin with, but more and more as I get fitter, and when I can jog/run, I'll do that.
-Cut out most of the bad sugars; means no soft drinks, chocolates, icecreams and all that junk....except for an occasional treat ;)
-Cutting out all bad fats; no maccas, chips etc.
-Eating breakfast and lunch EVERY DAY; and making sure they are good choices. I love grapefruit, so I'm thinking a boiled egg, some wholegrain toast and a grapefruit. Lunch a ham and cheese roll with lots of spinach. Dinners are usually balanced, but will start cooking with healthier alternatives.
-Attempt to eat at least one piece of fruit a day.
This is just to begin with, as I am very unfit and not in tune with all the exercise. WDYT? Suggestions or improvements
Try and chuck some celery in your meals somehow. It goes well cooked with chicken.. apparently celery burns heaps of calories (more than it provides)
ooohhh thanks TS, that's what I forgot to put! Snacking on celery and carrots, because I love them! With maybe a smidge of low fat philly or peanut butter ;) And drinking LOADS of water. I already drionk quite a bit, but even more!
Great work hun, you have a plan now you work on it.. but remember it doesn't have to be all at once.. baby steps!
GL i know you'll do well.. i love celery & carrot too, bought those little nude food containers, have been cutting them up in the morning and just taking them out of the fridge when i feel peckish! ;)
One thing I have done is change from Coca Cola to Coke Zero as Coke Zero is no weight watchers points and I like a soft drink with my dinner. I don't feel deprived (cause if I do I tend to only focus on what I am missing out). So maybe instead of cutting out all soft drink, change what you are drinking?? Just a suggestion.
Also, each night I pre cut up carrots etc and put them into water and pop them in the fridge - this means they are readily accessible for the next day.
All the best - you are off to a great start
My biggest tip is dont change things dramatically straight away.. you will be more likely to go backwards lol.
Just ease into it slowly :)
GL xx
Gotta agree with ZF and RR. Too many changes can make you feel quite restricted, give up then put n any weight lost plus more (in most cases). You will be surprised just by changing one or two things makes sucha difference and when you feel like you have broken one bad habit, move onto the next x
I know you are going to be a success. You sound like you are in a great mind space. That is the major key to losing weight. :clap:
PZ - I'm exactley the same! I weight 100kgs at the moment and have just started a 6 week challenge with CONTOURS! I have stopped the soft drinks and chocolates, I am drinking more water, I have done a 29minute work out 4 out of the past 5 days, I'm eating high protein low cal food and am going to budge this weight!
