I guys, yesterday I decided that I was going to put on my cropped jeans, the last time I wore them was September. Much to my horror I could just about pull them over my hips let alone button them up. When I wore them last I wanted to loose about 1 1/2 stone. Fed up of feeling fat and bloated all the time I went out and bought slim fast chocolate shake, a bit dubious as I do suffer with my blood sugar dropping which results in me having the shakes, feeling sick and headaches. But I have decided to give it a go and see how I get on.
I know I need to loose weight, but have seriously been in denyal, convincing my self that when giving up smoking last September I have only gained a few pounds when in fact I think it's more like 1 1/2 stone so now I have 3 stone to loose!!
I am heavier now than when I was 9 months pregnant with my second child and the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I've been playing about with diets since I had my son I've done slimming world and calorie counting and do very well on both if I am mentally in the zone, but I just cant seem to stay there for very long.
So I thought while the children are off school I will do slim fast and when they go back include some exercise, but I hope this will just give me a start, the boost I need to get me going in the right direction.
I am 5 ft 3 and weighed myself on Monday and was 13 st 7 lbs. I started yesterday and so far so good, no major blood sugar crash,
Today I have had a banana for breakfast as I couldn't face a shake first thing, I've just had a shake for lunch, I will have an apple for a snack about 2 pm, and a snack about 4 pm, then a shake when I get home at 6 pm and a chicken salad for my T. I've already drank a litre of water.
I am going to weigh myself on Friday as I won't then get a chance till a week on Monday as I am away, but will be able to keep to plan!
Cheers for reading and hoping to get to know you all x
