My cloud has dispersed and I've been frantically painting my stripes to be more like Tigger! This is good because a) It's not nice for me or anyone around me when I'm feeling low b) it is easier to control my eating.
Now I've not gone mental and given up the chocolate but I have been concentrating on not eating crap and I've been eating healthier meals. So not necessarily low calorie meals (5-2 fasting will have to wait a little longer) but wholesome meals - porridge, fruit, Greek yogurt, salads, beans, couscous, salmon, chicken and nuts! You get my drift? Really scrummy food! And I've tried to limit my chocolate intake to the really good quality stuff (I'm not perfect of course but trying).
Did you see The Crash Diet Experiment on TV a few weeks ago? It was a well known fact that crash dieting was a big no no. It was thought that if you lost weight this way you'd put it straight back on and more. Now this isn't a lie however I think this is a danger no matter how you lose weight. It's not rocket science. If you lose weight then just return to the way you were eating before, that got you fat in the first place, then you're going to put it all back on! D'oh is that not common sense? I guess with crash diets you can't continue to eat like that for ever so at some point you have to stop the crash and eat proper food and you'll not have learnt how to eat better so it's far easier to go back to eating like you had been. The programme proved that losing weight quickly is not unhealthy per se. It's what you do after. I reckon if you're clever you could lose lots of weight quickly then eat healthily to keep it off! Losing weight is the number one thing to improve your health, followed by not smoking (or vice versa). I'd love to crash diet and get it all off quickly but I'm pretty sure I couldn't stick to it for more than a week. I'd be too hungry lol.
Summer is here and I've been in my bikini. And quite frankly I don't care who sees me! It's not because I think I look stunning (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) but this is me. This is what I look like and I'm not hiding away for anybody. If you don't like my fat belly then look away. I think you should all get your bikinis on and don't give a stuff! Don't let other people dictate what's appropriate! Tell them to stick it up their Yahoo!!!
The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today!
Lost that pesky 2lbs! So back on track and ready for the next stone!
