I am DEFINITELY going to lose weight!

by banana ^Pro @ 2009-07-06 – 13:51:28

I found this photograph while tidying up.

It's me aged 22 ish give or take 2 yrs my memory isn't that accurate and no date on the pic.

I think it is time I let me out again and shed the 'protective' wobbly fat suit. Time to make me a project and no more self neglect and using food as a mood modifier.

I have made myself a promise. Today is the last day I will weigh this much and I will put all my will power (which is considerable when I chose to apply it) into getting the sort of vehicle around my soul that will empower it and enhance it - rather than hide and diminish it.

I'm going to lose half a stone next week...I'm going into hospital and the food is shite...Still, bet I'll never be able to get into my 32 waist Levis that I've forlornly hung onto for 15 years.

  Good luck for next week.
  I wonder how many of us have clothes in our wardrobes like that?
  
  I have a beautiful sea green dress, with seed pearls hanging from points on it. It looked like I was a mermaid when I wore it. I can't bear to part with it. But I haven't been able to fit into it for 25 years!
  
  I do wish you all the best for hospital though. I'll keep my pudgy fingers crossed for you.

I think you'll manage it easily, but I hope you'll be going for a slow loss rather than a drastic diet...

  I am going to cut out carbohydrates and processed food and try and stick to small amounts of meat, with plenty of fruit and veg and fish and as much raw food as possible. Meaning large proportion of diet will be raw food - not eating as much as possible LOL - that would make things worse!
  
  Drink green tea and water and fruit juice for occasional treat. I wish I drank alcohol as then I could give it up!
  
  I will keep up with the swimming and do more exercise generally and hopefully that will do the trick.
  
  You should have seen the huge scary fish I saw yesterday underwater !
  
  Always see stuff like that when I don't have the camera.
  
  It was at least 3 feet long and had teeth and it followed me! I got some exercise swimming away from that I can tell you LOL

    Great plan, that should work well. The weight should fly off if you can keep that up!

      Just did 40 minutes on the Wii fit! 30 minutes of step aerobics, a short jog and the rest hula hooping and catching fish as a seal lion (that's my favourite).
      
      Hubby has been out all day as the car is in being fixed and he can't come home without it! I hope he gets back in time to take me swimming - I could do with a cool off now.
      
      Somehow I appear to have gained 1.6 kg since yesterday according to the machine!
      
      I am hoping it is just a strange glitch. I'll weigh again tomorrow and hopefully will be back on track.
      
      Good news is that Wii says I have a Wii fit age of 22 - so that is hopeful.

You look just like your younger self, you really do. It is a lovely pic, but the one you had up recently as your avatar is also beautiful.

After a weekend of drinking and eating and generally being a glutton I have to call a halt to this and be slimmer.

The difference was surely only that you had curly hair then and it was straighter in your last pic!

But good luck - hope you get into that beautiful dress once more.
