i used to have a bad relationship with food. I would starve myself to try and lose weight, and if i didnt lose enough i would go on a mission to eat as much shit as possible to kind of punish myself, or id think "sod it, im gonna eat that cos im fat and ugly anyway, it wont make a difference"
When i had Izzie, i was almost half a stone lighter than before i got pregnant, and i was so happy its given me the determination i needed to realise that food isnt evil, and that i should just try and eat healthily rather than putting pressure on myself. I dont consider myself as on a diet as such, ive just changed my eating habbits. And i still get to eat LOADS
Like if i fancy a KFC, i'll grill some chicken breast with spicy seasoning on it (not the same , but it does the trick) If i want a chinese, i'll make a stir fry etc....I still treat myself to the odd takeaway, but when i do, i dont stare at myself in the mirror afterwards being repulsed and regretting what ive done, lol. Im much happier now
Im very slowely but steadily losing weight. Ive lost almost a stone since Iz was born and although it isnt coming off as quick as id like, i know that i'l keep it off as im not on a faddy crash diet, im just eating better.
My friend lost about 2 stone in about a month. I was so jelous, but she lives on Ryvita and just cant shift anymore, i think her metabolism has just shut down where (she even admits) she just stopped eating
Makes me more determind to just worry about being healthy, not thin (the weight loss is a bonus
)
