Hi I'm Marci - I'm nearing 30 and a whole lot of realizations have hit me in the face recently. A conflict with a friend (of the male species) disrupted my happy daily do-ings and suddenly I found myself in a state of confusion and shock. I have actively been lossing weight my whole life, always on a diet, or feeling guilting for not being on one - but recently I came to terms with the fact that sometimes I will fall off the wagon, and over-indulge and not exercise - just like anyone else with a problem does.
In the last 6-8months I have lost about 18kg, leaving me at 112kg (my current weight) - and after the entire Christmas period and silly season, I was terrified to jump on the scales again - surprisingly I had only gained 2-3kgs, but after a week on a raw food detox I saw those kg's shread away.
Now, I'm serious, I feel in control of my life and I feel more confidant and attractive than I have in a long time. It feels amazing to be in control of my food and cravings and I am adamant that I won't succumb to the not so humble pie. Because I am still a little shy of all that wobbles, my exercise is contained to the Wii Fit, which I find great, as it tracks everything in a fairly accurate manner, and does not allow me to cheat myself. A combinations of (hopefully) Wii-fitting once a day, with a Chlorophyll supplement and Slimaluma (cactus extract to surppress appetite) I hope to be more in control of my food intake and portions.
I'm here to share my story, get feedback, and create yet another method to be honest - so that I can maybe help someone else, and indeed help myself. It's so much harder to cheat, if you know my story too.
Current win: My rings fit me again - there is nothing nicer that to drop the excuses of irritated skin, and put on my beautiful rings again.
Background story: I have had lots of eating ups and downs especially when I was a kid. In more recent years I have post baby weight/end of breast feeding weight to deal with, as well as finally deeply being concerned with my health - and living as long as possible for my baby. I was at about the 105kg a few years back (Circa 2003 Uni Days), gained 8kgs and a baby (Circa
2006), lost 9kgs post baby, and gained a whopping 26kg post-breastfeeding, taking me to my absolute highest weight, 130kg (Circa 2008). Fast foward to now (2011), and with will and determination I am finally on my way back down to double digits, and can't wait to get there!
Oh and regarding the title: I constantly wear maxi skirts- and they look great, but even in my current state of girth I have amazing legs - so it feels a-shame to cover them up - I looking forward to the day I can cut my maxi and make it a mini!
