Well, Im in a great place!
I had a good week just before my hols, I then proceeded to happily eat whatever I wanted on hols, and maybe the hot HOT weather killed my appetite but I STS all week and I was totally relaxed about it all. came back and since then been eating whatever I fancy, not gained anything at all.
As I've only lost a tiny bit at all on this years dieting expedition, I do recall feeling crap most of the time, trying to eat tiny amounts followed by eating too much and generally feeling grumpy about the whole situation, Ive now just relaxed! And I feel so much happier!
And I've just watched the BBC 'the men who made us thin' and my mind is blown, but amazingly, the stuff they seem to be telling me is what Ive just started doing..!
Im now just eating stuff, being reasonable, nothing is forbidden but at times I have to tell myself to not be so damn greedy, and sometimes I go a while without eating without getting all worked up about it!
Im working to boost my exercise too, ive started jogging... its going to be tough! bought trainers though -im committed! I cycle lots too anyway, and once my tattoo heals (the thigh one, got it done anyway! had my flabby thigh prodded by a nice young man and then photographed and put on the internet!!) going to start swimming, getting a proper gym membership (again!) gym, spin, pilates, swimming plus jogging!! then I will eat chocolate! and bread! and be so damn happy!
oh and my lovely hair is so long now its not falling out!
so the TV programme said diets just make us fat, and we dont want to believe it, and maybe starting with a diet is good, I did the same, I have never regained all the weight I lost with Lighterlife so I think diets give us a kick start. but when the time comes that you are just fed up and miserable with it all, you are grouchy and grumpy and lethargic, I think its time to chill out, eat some carbs! have some wine, go for a swim (sleep in between the last two) oh and I went for my first run of the clense with a stinking hangover from eating thai takeaway, popcorn, wine, chocolate and I felt like DEATH and I wanted to cry and die and my god it was the most awful exercise of my life, then I tried again and it was pretty crap, I had a stitch and my legs just gave up, and I couldnt breathe, so I tried again and eventually it felt a tiny shred better, I still have a long way to go, but Im trying! always!
