I thought I'd lose it quick like I have with all my others.. You know.. By the time I get pregnant around the 9 month mark. 9, 10, 11, 12, months and I'm still the full 25kgs over..
Totally depressed with the way I look and feel I took the drastic action..
I cut my calories..
I went on what some would call a 'partial fast'. It's where you skip a meal here or there. Or you replace a meal with a vegetable juice or raw smoothie or raw salad. It's like... Eating ONLY raw (uncooked) fruits and vegetables..
This went on for around 3 weeks..
Something else i did was cut down on the sugar intake. I baked choc chip muffins. Ingredients? Choc chips, butter, flour and sugar (condensed milk). Devoid of any nutritional value whatsoever and costing near $7 (it was a big batch!!) I thought why am I feeding this rubbish to my KIDS?? I don't want my kids having an (over) eating disorder with a complete lack of self control in their lives!! I was TEACHING my kids how to be unhealthy and have NO self-control in this area of their lives! Yuk!!! So I cut out that kind of baking too..
When using sugar in a recipe I began to use heaps less!! Most of the time you could barely tell the difference.
No more ice cream or chocolate..
I increased my fruit intake and added raw smoothies into my diet. Delicious.
I felt so much better inside!! Less sick, more energetic, clearer minded.
I don't have scales at home so I was surprised to discover the loss but it kick started me into the desire of losing more..
And rapidly...
So I did!! I'll leave that for another blog post..
