My mum is a great inspiration for losing weight. She is three inches shorter than me (she's around five foot) and she was up at 13stone for the past few years - really not healthy. She's now down to roughly nine stone. And while I admire her willpower (and hopefully I can channel that) she lost the weight due to stress as her partner was in Afghanistan and was barely eating. I hope to reduce my portion sizes but there's no way I could starve myself! I just love my grub too much!
A couple of years ago I was 11st 6lbs, not good for my small height of 5' 3". When I first started seeing my man I must have been about 9 and a half stone, but that's what happiness does to you!
I've now got my weight down to about 10st 5lb but it's stuck there. I think with a little bit of determination and hard work I can get down to my target weight of 9 and a half stone again! Special K website says if I follow their diet I can do this in time for going back to uni this September! We shall see!
So the main rules I am going to stick by will be
- Drink 64 ounces of water each day (thats the recommended 8 glasses a day y'all!)
- Make sure I'm eating some fruit as snacks
- Do a weigh in once a week - on Sunday mornings - NOT everyday like I usually do on diets
- Cut down on portion sizes
- Avoid high fat foods - no crisps and chocolate! Makes you spotty, and no one wants that when you aren't a teenager anymore!
- Exercise whether you like it or not! Mix stuff up a bit if you get bored!
- NO. IRN. BRU. No more, caffeine is OUT!
It's only a stone - that's not too much to ask? :)
