Sharne's Will be slim diary :) *Lost 4lbs in total*

[Steelgoddess]

So I have decided I don't want to do another diet, regime, however its put i just want to be more relaxed in my eating.

I don't buy into anything so easily, I don't believe in diets because i personally believe unless there is a direct cause to weight, if you have been overweight for some time then there is likely to be a mental issue behind it.

This weekend and a bit of last week I watched Paul Mckenna's I will make you thin, initially i thought yada yada whatever but alot of stuff he says makes sense and the 4 rules immediately appeal to me.

These are:
Eat when you are HUNGRY
Eat what you want
Eat consciously
STOP when you are full

So in a nutshell I have decided to start a diary, here for you all to tune into to

I am a bit shy as I don't want anyone to think its all about me but hopefully if I can lose weight with others watching it will inspire others to do the same.

I'll be weighing/ measuring myself tom.

Id also like to add I have'nt posted this anywhere else, I posted it here for the reason that I love this community and have received fab advice not only on parenting in the past...

so there I've posted now theres no turning back eek!!!

[Steelgoddess]

I think P McK speaks a lot of sense in terms of weight loss.

Hiya Sharne

Good luck with the slimming I've adopted Paul M's advice of eating consciously and stopping when I am full. Common sense really isn't it I'm slimming too but I'm trying the special K.

I'll enjoy watching your progress

Week ONE
Physically: Feel rubbish
Mentally: Feeling motivated!
Lost 2lbs (was 13stone .5lbs)
Today's Weight 12stone 12.5
Thoughts: Thank god I don;t have to see the evil number 13 again, I am NEVER touching that number again!

Well the good news is after following the program VERY loosely during the week I have already lost 2lbs! I didn't make that many changes etc I had no desserts during the week, this is from a person that would have dessert every bleeding day

I'm at home ill and normally I wold be chowing down on crusty rolls, hot drinks, biscuits, chocolate etc etc you name it, but I guess because i know i can have it if i really want it I'm not that bothered, funny how we want things more when its forbidden?

Last night was good, I had dinner and was shocked at how much i had left on my plate normally I would of just eaten every morsel and felt full later. I also find that because theres a potential of me leaving things I have started taking smaller portions and telling myself if I'm hungry I can go up and have more...

I had pancakes for breakfast this morning and not because I had to have them but fancied them.

Only thing I am going to be conscious of is to still remember to eat healthy, I know I can at what I want and I'm lucky in that i enjoy fruit and veg and going to increase my water intake.

Exercise is out of the question atm as I am poorly bit annoying really, but I did park the car further away from the shops when I popped out

Well done Sharne!!

I lost 2lbs this week as well, despite being a total chocolate biscuit monster this week! I guess it goes to show that you can devour biscuits and still lose weight!

 

[HappyAlice]

Well done Sharne I like the sound of your diet, I'm going to keep reading this and hope it motivates me too - keep it up

 

[bhe101]

Well done!

 

[HappyAlice]

I thought about this thread today, I came in from doing the school run this morning and was craving something to eat, toast or crisps etc - the thing is I had already eaten breakfast and I thought to myself I'm not even hungry - so I made a cup of tea instead whereas before I would have just got myself some naughty snacks out of boredom

 

[Lindsay]

Sharne you are doing so well, you sound so motivated too so keep going hun

Xxx

 

[Lou]

Good on you sharne Really pleased for you

 

[Steelgoddess]

Thanks alot for the encouragement guys it REALLY helps.

Im a bit worried about my meals over the weekend, Im worried i won;t stop when im full...

 

[Lindsay]

Sharne hun, if it's your birthday just enjoy your meals and birthday cake and get straight back to it on Monday - you only have 1 birthday a year .... well that's what I am telling myself for next weekend

I started to go out for runs as couldn't get to the gym and to be honest I resent paying the money when I know I wouldn't get my moneys worth. Why not give it a go, you will start to feel the benefit in no time and believe me that's coming from someone who hadn't been out for a run since doing cross country at school !!!

Keep going hun

Xxx
