I was going to wait until 2009 began but I had a thump in the chest earlier tonight when a photo of me was "tagged" on Facebook for the world to see. It was taken by a friend who attended a Christmas Party at my house two weeks ago. He took the photo while I was in the kitchen with DH. The photo was a full length shot of me - from the back.
It's funny how your mind and your eyes can trick you into looking slim in the mirror. This photo was a harsh realisation. I am FAT. I am OVERWEIGHT. I am no longer the thin, attractive girl I was a year ago.
Sure... I've had a tough year. There is a million things I could blame the weight gain on. But reality is - I've put on nearly 15kgs in 12 months. I'm too lazy to get up and walk every morning like I used to and I'm too tempted by food I know I should not eat.
It ends tonight and tomorrow is a new beginning. I will wallow tonight but tomorrow morning I will wake with a new attitude.
have you seen the liver cleansing diet book? not that i'd recommend you actually go on it, ( i fainted when i did! ) but there are some easy low fat recipes in there.
No way. Love the liver cleansing diet! We went on it before our wedding and both looked fabulous - skin and eyes bright and shiny! I still use a few of the recipes now.
Its not easy at the start, but a good start off iykwim?
Good luck, I'm too scared to check the scales myself but Im joining the Body Transformation this year!
I know how you feel, mine started with some photos taken chrissy day, opening pressies with my babies. A time that should be happy memories for me, will be taken over by the fact I am sooo fat! So I started yesterday, I WILL NOT be the weight I am now this time next year.
Good on you! You can DO IT!!!!! And as Lulu said come join us in the body transformation thread! I think it would be good motivation...will be for me anyhow!
