Firstly I shall introduce myself. I am 48 years old, female and have been overweight for most of my adult life. I have done almost every diet going I am sure. I am a compulsive overeater and have enormous secret binges and usually hate myself whilst eating on a binge. I have decided that enough is enough and I have to make some positive changes to my lifestyle. I will be fifty next year and am setting myself a year to rid myself of my extra 5 stones. I was fat at forty and do not want to repeat that at 50.
I have a very supportive husband, so I'm sure that will help me. I live in rural france and so access to slimming clubs is almost non existant. I have decided that I am going down the route of diet and exercise and have started to do the Rosemary Conley inch loss plan. I have started attending 2 exercise classes a week that comprise of 30 mins zumba and 30 mins yoga. My husband has also set me up with an exercise studio in the garage where I can do 2 x rosemary conley salsa dvds per week in private without being self conscious about all my wobbly bits.
I was in UK last week as my dad had been ill in hospital and was all set to get stuck into my new lifestyle on my return yesterday; however I flew in friday and friday evening started to feel unwell. I now have a horrible cold, fever, achey and sore throat so have been unable to start exercising as I have spent most of the last 2 days in bed. But I have started the eating plan, so altho I am not well enough to exercise my hubby has been making my planned meals and bringing them to me and generally pampering and looking after me. I'm very lucky!
One of my good friends has undergone bariatric surgery last week and we are roughly the same size so we are going to encourage each other along the way and see how we both fare. Tho I do think her losses will be better and quicker than mine. I will try to report in daily with my trials and tribulations of my journey to rid myself of this weight for the very last time.
