I have been looking at why I keep starting the Diet Solution then going back to my old ways of eating and I came to the conclusion that I was doing it for a reason, the first reason was my holiday, then there was a christening and a new man…. there are all these reasons for me to focus on weight loss but what happens once I no longer have the reason is I stopped.
So I took a long hard look at what I was doing and what I wanted to achieve and now I am following the Diet Solution again (which I understand is a lifestyle eating program not a diet!) and this time doing it for no other reason than I want to be fit and healthy.
My journey to lose 110lbs has been an interesting one and as it took me 5 years to put it all on I am not expecting to lose it without some effort but it sure has been a roller coaster.
I have tried eating only following the Diet Solution
Exercise only but eating all the old carbs and junk I used to eat (crumpets and oven chips)
Now it is time to eat and exercise and I wanted to make sure I could keep it up before I started blogging again. So I am a few weeks ahead and will update you on how I finally made this week in future blog posts.
I have given myself 90 days to reduce my dress size (I am more focused on fat burning than weight loss now) and once I reduce it by at least 2 sizes from a size 20 (yes I went back up again when I went back to my old eating ways and non exercise) to a size 18, then 90 days later from a size 18 to a size 16 then 90 days later from a size 16 to a size 14. Right now I feel being a size 14 will be slim enough for me and when I get there I will decide whether I want to go down even smaller to a size 12 (which I can never actually remember being in my whole life – maybe when I was a young girl…)
Don’t give up on me yet! I think I am proof that an effort to lose weight can mean going down, back up a little and down again – it doesn’t always go in a straigh downward line.
Now though, I am doing this FOR ME and no one else and that is enough motivation for me. What I used to help kick start me was the services of a London Hypnotherapist called Jenny O’Kelly and I will blog more about that later.
In the meantime you will find The Diet Solution HERE
