How much weight do you want to lose?
I've lost 27lbs so far and would like to loose a further 81lb which will take me to 140lb (10 stone) which is towards the bottom end of healthy for my height 5ft 9in this may be a little low because according to my wrist measurement I'm borderline medium/large, will re-assess the situation when I'm closer to goal (healthy range is 139-170 including both medium and large frame)
If I'm honest I'm not so worried about the numbers I know what I want my body to look like; I want cheekbones, collarbones and hips slightly protruding and a nice flat tummy so if I achieve that before my goal weight I'll re-assess. I currently weight 15 stone 11 and no one I know will believe me they think I'm lighter. If this is the case if I loose just under 6 stone will I look severely underweight? Again will re-assess as and when.
What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?
As soon as possible really! I'd like to loose 14lb before my holiday have 7 weeks to do that so its realistic then no doubt I'll gain on holiday a bit but no time frame on the main loss just ASAP
How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?
My doctor prescribed xenical which is a weight loss pill which works through reducing amount of fat absorbed by the body which is helping a lot. Otherwise the plan is to eat healthily. I don't intend on following a specific diet because I won't stick to it if its labeled a diet. I can't do a great deal of exercise due to having ME/CFS as exercise makes me ill for days and I end up bedbound for a number of days. I am doing a little though, it varies on how I feel each day but I'm trying to do some no matter how small.
Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
This forum and my diary will be my main support as I can discuss in detail here ideas and problems with people in the same boat. My family will support me too however my dad and brother are both slim and never had a problem with food really so don't fully understand the struggles. My mum is good she talks me out of eating the junk when I get cravings, she is slightly overweight and has battled with her weight a lot so knows where I'm coming from but she's a gym/exercise addict and she's loosing her weight that way which of course I can't.
How realistic is your goal?
The weight loss in terms of numbers may be a little un-realistic as it may be too low for my frame size however I will be happy with a little higher weight as long as I get the body I want. I think weightloss overall is realistic because I am very determined this time, am in the right frame of mind and I finally believe its possible! I have always sabotaged anything that is good for me because I believed I didn't deserve it. I used to keep myself fat because I didn't deserve to be happy, didn't deserve to have the attention of men and I didn't want to let people close to me, being fat is a barrier it keeps people away. I have changed my thoughts a bit (still working on it) Ive come to the conclusion I do deserve to be happy and I will be a lot more confident slim like I was when I was younger.
