lose 10 kilograms

My last son and fourth child will be one year old on the 2nd of January. As far as the weight is concerned, it rocketed up to 104Kg at the end of the pregnancy. In the last year I managed to lose 24Kg and still hope to lose a further 5-6kg (at least another dress size). It really is feasible when you put your mind to it. The funny thing is that althought my body has changed I still feel the same – same insecurities and other issues. I guess my psyche has not caught up yet.

I have gained 14 kgs since I became pregnant 7 months ago and my little boy has not finished growing yet! Aaaargh! Wanna see God laugh? Make plans!

I’m making progress : nearly 3 kgs lighter in 10 days!

It has been a week and I have lost 2 kg already …I suppose it’s always easier in the first weeks. I have embarked on a healthy diet ( plenty vegetables with either protein or carb), and never going without breakfast or a healthy snack when I’m nibbly. I tend to eat when I’m stressed or bored.
Its going really well and I’m proud of myself sofar.

If one wants to lose weight I suppose owning a scale that works is really a great idea. This week I bought a lovely electronic scale – and got a terrible shock when I stood on it! 86kg Argh! There is no way I am going to crash diet but it has dawned on me that becoming more aware of what I eat, when and why might be helpful. Cutting out junk food, excessive fat and sugar is a good start.
