I found a really great blog called "becoming obesity's worse nightmare!" That is so inspirational - I can see shed loads of determination there! I like the photos of those numbers on the scale between nicely painted toes :) I dont think that I can do it. I have really ugly toes.
That inspired me to immediately do a stock take of what I have done since 1st January, and what I continue to do:
Since 1st January:
- get off the train one station earlier on the way to work
- walk to the further train station, if I am not too tired by the time I go home
- substitute more pasta/noodles meals with konyaku/shirataki noodles! These noodles helped lose 1kg this winter, instead of gaining the typical 3-7kg!!!
- Only eat things that are really delicious, especially if it is "bad". No more cheap cakes and chocolates
- Two size 14 trousers joined the "being worn" category. These replaced 2 pieces of totally worn out size 16 trousers (ie there are holes there). They started off really tight and ugly, but a good reminded to stay away from biscuits and cookies in the office!
- Started metformin
Continued from last year
- Xenical - no longer needed daily, since I am mostly "good". Only take when eating out (and suffered the consequences)
- Walk, walk walk.. whenever there is an opportunity, I walk.
- Ensure there is at least an "active day" a week - be it some time in the gym, or a few hours spent window shopping
- Water... & fruit teas, avoiding juices
- Increased salads, reduced carbs!
- TOTALLY refuse to purchase even 1 more piece of size 16. Size 16 is obese for my height. If I remain on this size, I might as well get naked or lose those bits.
