I am so glad i joined this forum as i desperately need the motivation.. at least now i have a place to vent! I dont like to talk about my diet with friends and family because sometimes they pull u down instead of pushing u forward.
Its really difficult to eat properly in our kind of society, its family based and we gather more than once a week.
Since ive been married, now i have 2 families! I started gaining weight right after i got married.. i was 65kgs (around 145pounds) and 2yrs later just when i got pregnant i was 90kgs (just over 200pounds)!!
To make things worse.. my excess weight affected my pregnancy.. i had early gestational diabetes all thru my pregnancy and had severe back problems..
Unfortunately i cudnt do anything about it at the time.. until i had my baby.. and now that my baby is a year old.. my husband is bugging me for another child... hehe.. i do too.. coz our son is lonely..
So this time around i want to do it right!! I want to lose the excess weight before i get pregnant again.. This time im dead serious.. I dont want to do this for stupid reasons like trying to be sexy or anything.. i just want to be healthy.. i dont want to have diabetes... i want to live and enjoy my children.. So
I promised myself these things to help me kickstart:
1- Sleep and wake up early... to boost my energy thru the day
2- No Yo Yo dieting or pills or any fast fad diets.. pure and simple healthy eating
3- Exercise for an hour at least 5 days a week.. until im drenched in sweat
So far ive started almost ten days ago.. im doing really well.. ive even hired a personal trainer to come to my home and converted one of the extra bedrooms into a mini home gym.
Im gonna be weighing myself on a weekly basis..
I would love to hear from any of you.. and be glad to be anyones diet buddy..
Currently im 89kgs (about 199pounds) and my target is 65kgs (145pounds) so i need to lose over 50pounds
Take care
