As much as I love food especially fast food, Indian take outs, Chinese, subway and of course MacDonald’s just to name a few it clearly was not doing anything for my figure and I guess my health. Instead I found my trousers getting tighter and skirts just not zipping up but yet I could not separate myself from food. I eat when I’m hungry and even when I’m not. I eat when bored and even just because I can afford a luxurious calorie laden dinner at a swanky restaurant. Unfortunately for me, I have fat genes and there is no denying or making excuses for that.
I eventually hit my all time low. I was getting ready for a wedding on a beautiful Saturday morning and I could not find a decent outfit that fitted and looked flattering on my recently discovered “curvilicious figure”. I realised, I could no longer cover the lumps with loose tops or suck everything in with ultra fitted pencil skirts. I slumped on my bedroom floor, half the contents of my wardrobe scattered all over the floor and on my bed, evidence of my failed attempts to find the perfect outfit. NOTHING FITTED!!!!!
I had a moment of depression, very close to having a full on cry, it dawned on me that crying was not going to help neither solve the problem. That was it; I decided I was going to join the gym (which I had been procrastinating about forever). I took myself to my local fitness first and signed up straight away. Instantly feeling so much better as I had a plan. At that moment, I knew it was all going to be ok!!!!!!
Two weeks later having worked out almost every single day and eating SO healthy (yep that does mean no take always or fast food) I’m starting to see results. I promised I would not torture myself by trying on my old clothes but this morning, I could not resist. I threw on my size 12 top shop Bette jeans and they fit like a glove with no love handles/muffin tops.....AMAZING!!!!!!
Sunday morning and I have just finished a gruesome class of body combat. It suddenly hits me.....I’m tired and every muscle in my body aches but it is all worth it!!
