WannabeSkinnyMinnie's Fat to Fab Diary 2013

Exactly what i came to think hun, Im not worried anymore.. i may be gutted if i get a STS 2 weeks in a row but for now its ok.

Omg whats the 8's??!! Haha i was last 8st when i was 8 years old no joke! I cant go lower than 9 cos of my height (if i mentioned 9 to my family id get a right ear bashing, so annoying). You'll get there, exciting this! xx
 
All this talk of 1 stone a month. I am aiming for 1/2 stone a month. I would be delighted with that. :D

ED- your lucky your taller- not short and dumpy like me!! I'd love to be a little taller than 5.1'! Well you need to be happy with your body and see how you feel when you get there :D


Mere youre so close to your goal weight- I'd love to be in the 10's! And with your busy exercise regime, your body is converting to muscle. Your going to be fit and healthy when you get to goal weight :D
 
Hi WSM
I am still a good few months away from goal because I lose weight so slowly.
I have decided that I will stick to TS until my friend's daughter's wedding on 10th May. I will then start introducing meals and gradually dropping Exante in readiness for my holiday to Canada on 25th May. I will not be able to stick to Exante in Canada as I will be staying in hotels.
Hopefully I will not put on too much weight and be ready to go back on Exante if I have to lose some more weight or to maintain. That is the plan anyway.:D

Thats a good plan! Your'll have a lovely time in Canada :) So will you work up to WS and Simple solution? You will definately be a lot lighter by May! :D

I've decided that if I start putting weight on then I will just do a few weeks on TS again until I get back down again. That way, I hope to never get as big as what I am now :)

me too. this is the short journey - the long journey will be forever monitoring my weight. iv thought about it and the way i gain weight is by eating too much, then getting scared of the scales. i stop weighing from fear, then obviously more weight piles on and im in hiding from it until suddenly im a massive fatty! iv learnt more than ever in this short time, so the key will be to monitor my weight, eat healthier, and if i want a night out or a buffet of party food then i will enjoy but revert back to healthy and keep it below 10st for life xx
 
Yours is a good plan too. I think the notion of controlling weight by switching to Exante before the weight gets out of hand is the best way to keep it off for ever.
Realistically we can expect to fluctuate a little over holidays etc but a few pounds gain is controllable.

I completely agree- so much easier to ignore what is happening than facing the truth!

Everybody knows the hardest part is maintaining- same with any diet you do- after fast loss or slow loss! Least we will always know of Exante if the weight does creep up a little bit. I will not miss out on events because of it and will treat myself now and again but hope to always follow a healthy diet- making better choices for myself.

What I have come to realise is how much I was indenial about my weight. I was looking through my facebook photos trying to find a photo to compare to now. I could not find a single photo that I hadnt edited in some way or cropped out my body! Its only now I can admit how fat my face looks in all of my photos wheras I didn't see it before (or want to believe it!) I'm so glad I've faced up to it now and doing something about it!

xx
 
My FB pictures are all face photos - no body shots what so ever since getting hugely fat again. I have body shots on there when i got to 9st,10st and 11st but since 2011 its all face pics too xx
 
Glad its not just me! I've decided I'm not going to post or tag any pics of me until I'm at goal weight then post one randomly!! Haha!
 
omg me too haha! i havnt even mentioned weight on my FB or anything. was tempted to announce my loss last week but am sticking firm with the secrecy! I want to get to goal and upload a success piccy :D xx
 
Haha! Great minds think alike! If I have pictures up throughout my journey people won't notice as they will slowly see me getting smaller but if I whack up a picture after my journey people will see the whole of my success!
 
yup! I'm exactly the same, no recent facebook pics for me... going to wait until I'm super slim, finally *let* people get a pic of me, and *let* them tag me and I've literally imagined the comments (is that sad?) 'omg have you lost weight?' etc.... and me being all 'oh yeah a bit I guess!' haha.

Also just found out my OHs family are coming to the UK in summer we haven't seen any of them since I was about 4 months pregnant and HUGE already.. probably around 17/18 stone. So don't want any pics on FB until we see them as I want them to be surprised in person :) Already been planning outfits etc and its months away and no idea what size i'll be by then! lol x
 
My OH's family came down for a few days at Christmas and i was near enough 15st, i felt completely embarrased the whole time and am planning a trip to see them in spring/summer nice and slim :D No hiding away anymore xx
 

Hahahaha!! I've had those comments planned out in my head too!! Can you imagine if we get none?! I'll be devastated!! Obviously was going to play it cool too and be like yeah a few pound ;) Haha!!
Completely not sad! I am already thinking about Christmas and what I'm going to wear haha!! I actually don't really want to see people until I have lost so trying to avoid it as much as possible!

I was completely insulted boxing day by my OH's aunty. We were all around his nans in a little living room so were making room etc sat on chairs, floor etc. I was happily sat on the floor but was encouraged to sit on the sofa with OH's 2 aunties! Then came the comment, 'Oh the 3 fatties- I mean Chubbies on the sofa....' (Obvs realising what she hadsaid) Wouldn't mind if it was someone in my family (theyre all a bit bigger) but someone who I didn't really know, in front of all OH's skinny minnie family who wasnt even that fat herself was an insult!

THEN! On NYE this random stranger asked if I was the daughter of this couple who lived in our village as I was the spitting image of them!! If you knew who I was on about you'd see the insult and my humiliation!! They are a really big couple- like 25 stone plus :S

So I will not be the fattest at OH's nans this christmas and I will no longer resemble the child of the 2 biggest people in the village!! So the aunty and the stranger can kiss my skinny ass! (when I get there!)

Oh God what a cheek! You'll deffo be getting the last laugh now though hehe :p

OH's family are all skinny minnies too, him included. His sister is an absolute stunner, every one of them is slim and iv always felt a fatty amoungst them lol it will be nice just to fi tin and feel at ease. Iv planned loads in my head too haha! outfits the lot. if we dont get a hot summer this year my ideas will go to pot lol xx
 
I really hope I do have the last laugh! Esp with OH's aunty- I spent the journey home on Boxing Day crying and feeling really depressed!

Yeah I think it will help me to fit in too. Its a shame that being overweight holds you back. My OH has 3 sisters all around my age which makes it worse. They are all size 8 with huuuuge boobs and pretty too! His mums tiny too! I can remember when I was dating OH I went around his house for tea. My OH is really unhealthy and he cooked us pizza and potato wedges! I felt so embarrassed at the carb overload- esp when his sister came and sat with us and all she had was 2 rice cakes topped with a spoonful of mash and vegetables on top! Cringe!

Haha yeah I hope we get a hot summer too! What outfits do you have in mind? I really want to wear some demin shorts! xx

Eurgh i'm exactly the same! Especially his sister, she is stunning, fit and healthy, really well organised, excellent at her job, funny, caring and thoughtful, very stylish, decorates the house beautifully! .... Basically perfect. I've always felt way, way beneath her even though she's lovely to me. Can't wait to not feel like a fat messy blob when I'm around her!
 
Them moments are awful! Many a time i have pretended i am not hungry and been starving because none of them were eating and i didnt want to look a pig lol.

Iv got my heart set on some gorgeous cut out skater dresses, i dont know why. never owned one before, but keep having the image of me walking through the park on a summers day in the dress! its got cut out sides to show of some upper waist :D dreamy.

Keep imagining being in yorkshire visiting OH's family too, and all the things i will enjoy doing while feeling normal next to everyone. Sad hehe i bet it will be cold and il end up in jeans lol xx
 
Omg yes I have definately done that whilst trying to muffle rumbling tummy! haha! Well ladies, it wont be long for us mark my words :p

Ohh skater dresses are fab and your'll look great in one with the cut outs- esp as your waist it already small!

If its cold, I think you should still wear it anyway :D
xx
