Okay girls, I am back! have had a busy busy week so gong to catch up with everyone now.
BlackDuckies- I just reached the 80's so looks like you, Sterla and I are all around the same. We can all work our way down together. ALSO a big happy Birthday hun for today! Hope you are having a great day and you do enjoy yourself x
Kim- I am loving your inspirationa nd that is great that you have had a good week. I'll answer your motivation question down the bottom of this post.
Lilias- Thank you for your words of motivation and believing in us all. You are so sweet to opop in. Hope your pregnancy is going well.
Arimeh- I used to be my own worst sabotage as well. DP never understood why I was gaining weight when I was exercising so much. I used to play dumb saying I dont know either when really I did know. It was because I would eat packs of chips, biscuits, maccas all when he was not around. Talking to DH about self sabotaging is a big step and hopefully you will gain some extra support now that he is aware. Its better to lose some weight now so that you have more energy if you were to become UTD again. I find it hard to have the energy to look after 1 child. What about having a different goal to losing weight? You could make some changes, I am not sure what your main vices are but maybe something like cutting out all margarine and butter or to eat more veges and fruit so that you are healthier if you were to become UTD. Then losing the weight that comes with making those changes would be a bonus. I have babbeled. Im sorry. Just know we are all here fo ryou to help motivate you x
Alison- Happy birthday as well Hope you enjoy. You know sometimes when you have been really good and just treat yourself one day it can spur you body on to lose weight. Cant remember why but its something about giving the metabolism a kick. Just as long as it is only once in a while.
Sterla- You are so close hun!! You can do it. Positive self talk hun! It is so incredible how much you have lost in such a short time. It has taken me 8mths of off and on to get this far. You are just incredible! You are a big inspiration to everyone in here.
Krys- That is crap about the people in your team. I quit team sport for that reason but I do miss it as it was such a good form of exercise. In fact I never thought of it as exercise at all. Coem on out from under that rock hun, we are all here for you and you have done so mcuh for us by starting this. Lets have a really good month!
Suz- Just make sure you are drinking extra water as that will help maintain your supply when exercising. I actually put on more weight when I was BF than when I was pregnant and got to my heaviest ever when DD was 6mths old. I think it was being at home so much, not exercising and eating lots of yummy morning teas and late night snacks. You can do this, even with reduced BF!
Okay had to quickly post that in case my computer ate it (it took ages) LOL!
AFM- I have been really good but have some good motivation and a lot of people supporting me.
My motivation:
*I have about 5 pairs of jeans in my wardrobe of varying sizes. I wont buy new pants until I get to my goal weight. I am jsut going to move down the jeans sizes. I have been wearing my BIG jeans (size 18) with a belt and they have become MEGA loose! So I decided last night that I would get out all my jeans and try them on to see where I was at. Well I almost came on here and posted (but it was 12:30pm after I resettled DD that i had the thought to try on jeans LOL) but I was so excited becuse a size 14 pair are fitting me really easily as well! YAY! I cant wait until these are lose so that I can move down to a size 12 and then eventually I will be happy at a size 10.
*I have photos on my dressing table mirror of what I want to look like. (they are actually photos of me when I was at my slimmest).
*I keep a weight loss diary of my weigh in figures each week and how I am feeling.
*I am going to Fiji at the begining of eptember and do not want to be boiling hot because I am too embarrased by my body to uncover it.
*I have set out goals in this book for the next 12 weeks (until our trip to Fiji) of the little goals I want to achieve.
Ways that I am losing weight:
*I buy healthy snacks that I like to eat, not jsut because they are healthy.
*I dont take any cash to school so I cant buy anything fromt eh school canteen.
*I drink more tea (green and Earl grey). Stops my food cravings at night.
*I keep busy by cleaning and sorting and writing so that I am ot sitting around bored and wanting to eat. (You should see how clean my house is right now)!
*I do drink diet coke (i know its bad) but its my thing. I dont smoke or drink alcohol. i'll deal with the consequences later.
*If I dont feel like "exercising" than I go to the shops and walk around. Moving is the key and it doesnt matter where you do it.
Anyway I think I have made this post gigantic now! So i better go.
Can you tell I am trying tokeep busy right now!
