Well it's the start of a new year and yes like all the rest of you I have a new years resolution.... and yes you guessed it "it's to lose weight" 25kgs to be precise.
Typical I know, but this time it's different!
Here's why
- I have a wardrobe full of clothes, that DON'T fit me! not even the big clothes that found their way into my wardrobe. You know the ones that are given to you but for some reason you don't throw away? Who would have guessed that someday I would not even fit into them? Obviously they knew something I didn't? After all, I still feel like a size 8, it's just the same way that I still feel like I am 20 years old.
- I went clothes shopping just before Christmas and to my shock, not only was I not the size I usually am on any bad day i.e. an Australian size 14, but somehow I skipped a complete dress size. Yes, I tried on a 16 and it was tight. No words can describe that defining moment!!!
- I can't even bend over without being restricted, not by a spare tyre, but by a super tread...
- And probably most importantly, I am completely embarrassed to be seen naked in front of my husband, it's hard enough even when I am feeling fabulous (low self esteem I know...)
- Sorry, I should also mention that I miss swimming and nice clothes!
- Weight loss - positive thinking I know :)
- Body measurements
- Food consumption (including wine ahhhhh no.......)
- Exercise (currently lack of)
- Any random thoughts, in other words my psychological profile (warning... it may disturb some readers).
- Progress pictures (how embarrassing, this is the hardest part because of my shallowness) but I guess you have to start somewhere?
- I am 40 years old and to some of you this is old I know, but to me I am only halfway through my life, particularly if I can get my health in check now.
- I am 84kg's (13.5 stones)as of January 1, 2011 and I am aiming for 59kgs and I should mention that I am only 163cm tall.
- I am a size 17 (I know it doesn't exist, but it's what size I am)
Until next entry, take care.
xoxo Alex
