Who do we try to kid . . .
Obviously ourselves.
We know the scales are going up, the clothes are a little tighter but we ignore it, it's not that bad. Then you catch a photo of yourself, or a glimpse in a mirror or a window. Holy shit. That's not me!!!! OMG. How did that happen.
That was me when I saw the photo on the last post with the girls. I was so disgusted with myself. I almost didn't recognise me - but the camera doesn't lie. I'm positive that's not the face that looks back at me in the mirror. But the camera doesn't lie. It is me. And I look bloody awful.
So you want to know what the scales said last week.
81.6
I don't have any time to go on a pity trip. So even though I'm disgusted with myself I'm back on track knowing if I do this properly I can turn it around.
Being a short arse any extra weight gain looks twice as bad on me.
So this is what I'm going to do. Three things for now.
I've been doing the above for the last week. Apart from the suishi I had on Saturday I've been very good.
I eat only twice a day, I'm not snacking at all in between meals. My lunch I fit on a bread plate. Half my dinner plate is veges and my protein about the size of my palm. I eat my veges first then I'm struggling to eat the rest.
Today the scales told me
80.3
To be honest I was expecting more. But then again prior to last week I was probably eating about 60 - 70% primal anyway which is probably why it's been a bit easy for me.
My immediate goals are
My goal after that would be around 62kg which I would be happy with.
So I'm back to blogging about weight loss and this is mainly about my journey getting there.
So I hope you will join me and maybe we can help each other or just be there for support and encouragement.

So this is what I'm going to do. Three things for now.
- I'm going primal - no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc.
- Try to drink at least 2 litres of water per day.
- Limit wine.

Good luck! Oh I remember those days of the slow weight gain and great denial until you realise nothing fits or you see a photo. There are many days I wish I could lose more weight but have to remember that losing and keeping off 15 kilos is OK too. Maybe over the summer I'll drop a little more? We'll see but keeping it of is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteStick at it, I'm living proof that you can live this way!
I'm behind you 100% girl!
ReplyDeleteWE can do it.
Though I'm not cutting out all the carbs. I'm going to balance, and portion control.
ONWARD!
*** 'I'm going FOR balance...
ReplyDeleteWell done on the great start!!!
ReplyDeleteI am with you girl.... my scales told me alot higher than that this morning :( We'll get there !!!
Time to get my arse into gear and start blogging and 100% commit myself to healthier living. Cutting back the wine is going to be my major thing.
