I took it upon myself to make drastic changes in my lifestyle. I was forever snacking and eating out at least twice a week. I just got bigger and bigger and my clothes got tighter.
A few years ago my sister-in-law joined a slimming class, she asked me to join I said no thanks they do not work and I am too embarrassed to get on the scales in front of people.
When I could see the weight dropping off her, I thought to myself if she can do this why cannot I. I was depriving myself of a healthier lifestyle and to be honest eating chocolate every night and snacking was not making me happy at all. Who was I kidding I was beginning to hate what I was turning into. My family used to say to me you are not meant to be skinny because you are big boned.
My sister-in-law lost ten stone altogether, I was so proud of her and I wanted her to be proud of me. I joined the class I knew I had big the nice woman wrote my weight on a card and this was a wake up call. By following simple instructions, I was losing five pounds a week for a while. I had a treat on the day I weighed then I stuck to it the rest of the week, I wrote everything down and planed my week. I would drink two litres of water a day this really helped me. I lost three stone in two months and was slimmer of the year and I had a make over.
This done me the world of good. I have gained myself confidence and proved to my family that I was not meant to be big boned. I even had my wedding ring made smaller. I had my treat every week after I weighed and this really helped me to stick to my healthy eating plan the rest of the week. I had much more energy even my skin was looking healthier through drinking water instead of soda.
My sister-in-law never kept her weight off, she is as big now as when she first started. Since I reached my target weight over ten years ago, I have had two children and still managed to get back to my target weight and I eat a well balanced diet, which I think is important. I love to exercise as much as I possible can.
I do not go to the slimming class anymore as I feel I am wasting my money I know what to do and I do it well. I even give people help and advice on how I manage to stay in trim. When I go on holiday, I will honestly admit I do indulge who do not. I have a new plan now that when I gain a few pounds I get it off in less than two weeks.
I am so happy I life a healthier lifestyle and live life to the full. I could not have achieved all my goals without losing the weight. My message to you is if your not happy and keep putting it off till Monday or until all the chocolate and biscuits are gone then don’t. Start today, keep a diary, plan, and remember little pickers wear big knickers.
