It has been FAR TOO LONG since I last posted on here. You must all think that I have jacked this diet in and gone back to stuffing my face with cream cakes from a pigs trough.
That's actually NOT the case! Looky see.... I was super proud to look my slimmest ever at my sister-in-laws wedding and lovely new Lindy Bop dress!
But.... I have been suffering with an unseasonal bout of depression (truth is I still am), but I am getting help and slowly returning to blogging.
There is good news and bad news regarding my diet. The first bit of good news is that I had got down to 152 1lb before the school summer holidays - That's under 11 stone - the lightest I have ever been in my whole adult life, lighter than I was at my wedding. And I was thrilled to bits with myself. The bad news is that during the six week summer holidays I "took a break" from my diet so as not to be a misery guts while out and about with my kids and gained 19 lb!!!!
But the kids are back at school now - have been all week - and I am back on my diet. I have already dropped 5 lb and am 166 lb as of this morning. I still have a stone to lose before I am back to where I was before the summer but I am not going to let that ruin me. I've done it before, I can do it again!
I am back in my size 14 jeans, which is a daily reminder that I let things go just a little too much. I am looking forward to my 12s being comfortable again (they go on ok, but are too snug to wear all day).
SO! Here is the NEW plan of action:
- First target - shift this newly acquired stone in weight.
- Reassess my end target weight once I get under 11 stone.
- Keep reminding myself how much I am LOVING my new wardrobe and how much I want to keep wearing my pretty new things
- Get through this spell of depression without leaning on food for comfort (this is the toughest part)
I am back!
Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too.
You can also go to my page, hover over the “liked” button and select get notifications. Then you will see my posts and status updates in your notifications. Mumma Walker on Facebook
