Resolutions

When New Year comes along, so do resolutions. And my resolution is to lose weight because I want to fit into designer clothing. You see only a few years ago, I used to walk into shops and hope they had something that fitted. I was a size 24. Today I am a size 16 which means that I can buy clothes in most high street stores… but designer clothing… that is still a way off. And even if you found a designer size 16…. it is more a 14 than a 16. So my goal… to get to a 14 and maybe hopefully a 12…. though I would be happy as a size 14…. After all I am literally 3/4 the woman I used to be!

My biggest issue with the resolution is that over Christmas, I was given loads of chocolates and sweets and they are Swisher Sweets than the ones just just pick up in store like Kitkat and Mars! And there are still loads left! ARGH!!

First Aid

I currently store all my first aid stuff in a high cupboard in my kitchen but I always worry about it in case the kids get to it. It would be lovely if I had a Robern Medicine cabinet to store my first aid stuff… but failing that perhaps I just need to put a lock on it. After all better safe than sorry and all that is needed is that the kids cannot get in!

Lipofuze

Lipofuze is another diet pill available on the market. It is pretty much like all the rest of the drugs but a slightly different concoction. Does it work any better. Don’t really know. Not sure I will ever try it either. I think I will stick to pretending to calorie count. Mind you I must say that dieting with someone is far easier than dieting on your own, whatever route you take.

If Only

Ok. I know that I said I would do my diet just by calorie counting and sheer determination but you cannot help but wonder. I was reading some hoodia reviews and it is meant to suppress your apetite. Wouldn’t that be wonderful. However, something that is too good to be true probably is. Now the person who invents chocolate than burns calories will be a mega rich man or woman!

Diet Started

I started my diet today. I do intend to go down a dress size or ideally 2. It would be great if I lost a dress size by Christmas but I am being realistic just losing a couple of pounds by then would be excellent. The question do diet pills work will be irrelevant to me because I am going to first try doing it with sheer determination and reduced calories! So fingers crossed!

New Idea

I have been thinking of having a weight loss affiliate. What do I mean by that. Well basically you and a group of friends who all want to lose weight decide to contribute a sum of money eg £5 and then the 1st to reach their target weight gets the whole amount. Obviously the weight loss needs to be similar amounts eg all need to lose a stone or all need to lose 10% of weight or knock 10% off their BMI. Then the winner gets to buy loads of lovely new clothes for their new figure. An incentive or what?

Quickly

Did I tell you how shocked I was when I went on my scales. I put on 10 pounds since my twins have started weaning. I know that not only do I need to stop eating all the left overs (and chocolates and nuts) that  have been eating but I also need to find a way to lose weight fast. I know that it is unrealistic and to make matters worse I seem to lack motivation. I know I can do it, because I did it twice before but still it is getting started and the first week that I struggle with.

Too big

How am I going to lose weight fast? I cannot believe I let myself put on so much weight. I know I lost weight in 2 stages before going from a size 22-24 to an 18-20 and then down to 14 – 16. I always knew I would need to embark on stage 3 and go down to a 12 – 14 but I have not been able to find my motivation. I do know that once I start I’ll be ok…. but starting is just not easy. Maybe I’ll do my photo trick… it helped last time. Last time I had my “big” photo and next to it a photo of a model with my head. Perhaps this time an old “big” photo of me as a detriment and another of my head on a super model!

Oh NO!

Oh No! Today I decided to go on my dreaded weighing scales. WOW! Scary. Who needs Halloween when they have weighing scales! I have put on about 10 pounds and I am not sure where they came from. I am going to have get motivated (because even putting on 10lbs has not motivated me enough to diet). Perhaps if I read some diet pill reviews and join weight watchers… Yeah right!!

Where did I put those chocolates!
