Having just finished my first meal (plain unsweetened low fat yoghurt with a spoon of sunflower seeds and a spoon of sesame seeds... and a nectarine!!!) I figure now is a pretty good time to start writing this blog. It's one of those things that I meant to do yesterday, but never got around to... so here I am.
Basically, the story so far is that I'm a bit (cough) on the overweight side. Okay, so not just a bit... I'm on the current Kirsty Alley side of being a healthy weight. I've spent quite a bit of time living the "big is beautiful" attitude, and I was mostly happy about how I looked. My lovely man makes it hard for me to feel anything other then good about myself. :)
But then I had one of those epiphany moments where the lights got turned on and I realised that if I kept things up the way I was going, my dress size would almost be catching up to my age. Which isn't a pretty thought at all.
So, I have signed up for a year of SureSlim. I've done Weight Watchers (and it worked well for a while, but didn't help me keep the weight off) and I've tried Optifast (again, it worked well, but only while I was on the shakes, so not a good long term option for me). SureSlim seems to have a lot of success, and we are stuck with each other for a year, even if I loose up to my target weight in less time then that.
I'm told that the next few days are likely to be some of the hardest. Personally, I'm more worried about further down the track when I'm likely to get more lax. I'm told that over the next few days are when I am likely to feel the most hungry, and that I might go through a bit of a mini-detox. I think I will make water my new best friend.
Anyway, here's to loosing lots of weight, keeping it off, and working towards an amazing "After" photo! I'm off to find an online graph maker!
