Dreaded weight loss and treats..

Yes, the thing that most girls I speak to are on. DIETS.
Seems like we spend most of our lives 'Dieting' or 'trying to loose weight'. And I am defiantly one of them!

I used to swim competitively for 10 years, 7-10 times a week, sometimes twice a day for 1 hour upto 3 1/2 (sunday mornings, urgh!) untill I turned 18 and found alcohol and student night up Hanley (£1) drinks!!!!
Sooo as the drinks flowed and the eating habits stayed the same then the metabolism slowed down.
I looked over photos progressing over time, along with my weight. Slowly hating the person in the mirror I joined Slimming world. An d what a huge waste of time and money that was! (for me anyway)
Paying £5 each week for someone to tell me Ive put weight on or lost some ( usually putting on overtook taking off) and thrown a book telling me what I can and can't eat. Pfffft!
I ended up quitting and just failing, until about February my other half finally had enough of my constant depressive state about my weight and having to comfort me every time I came out of the changing rooms of Topshop or other stores because I couldn't fit into any of the jeans or shorts.
So I joined my local gym and went nearly everyday, working myself from 200 cals each time to up to 600/1,000! I also got some mates to come classes with me like Zumba and Spinning, which I really enjoyed!
Also I started Kettlercise which was great too! But you cant walk for a few days after.

For months I saw no difference to my body and slowly got more tired and miffed, I was still at my heaviest. So the boyfriend suggested that I should measure myself instead of weighing because muscle weighs more than fat. Over time the numbers started to go down and down, I WAS FINALLY LOOSING WEIGHT! HOORAH!!! Alongside the exercise I was recommended to listen to and read Paul McKenna's-I can make you thin, CD and book. I admit at first I was skeptical about hypnotherapy and listening to the CD, but I kept trying it and it really worked! My cravings stopped and I stopped snaking and mindlessly eating junk food and really listened to my body. Amazing stuff! and I still use it now! Also I have noticed I am now picking healthier options, but keeping the treats in moderation or work it off the next day.

So I thought If I carry on loosing this weight and want to keep myself interested and motivated ( because it gets soo boring sometimes) I made a deal with myself, if at the end of each month I have lost weight then I will treat myself to a new Suagrpill eye shadow that i so respiratory need. Because some weeks I start to go days without exercising ans the laziness starts to creep in. But to my prevail and a few months later I have finally lost a stone! (yaaaay!) So as a well done I bought myself the 'Burning Heart palette' Ive been eyeing up for months <3

Suagrpills Burning Heart Palette

So my advice to you is not to torture yourself by eating salads at every meal time and snaking on nothing but cardboard, eat ONLY when your truly hungry and enjoy exercise, don't make it a burden. Make friends come with you and do classes if the gym is too boring! AND DON'T GIVE UP! it does take ages for the to burn and your metabolism to speed up, it could take months, but as soon as it does then it is just for you to maintain that weight, not working as hard as you did to get it off, but when its off it just needs to be kept up to speed. If you get my drift, I did go the gym nearly everyday, but since i lost the weight I wanted to now i only have to go 3 or 4 times a week to keep my metabolism up and the wight down.

Also with food, you can eat what you want in moderating, listen to your body, are you really hungry? are you really starving? or are you just bored? When eating too, eat slowly and don't fill yourself until your unable to move! there's no need.

Im still loosing weight but unfortunately have no recent body pictures to show.

But I just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to my wonderful boyfriend for helping me to not only loose this weight and achieve my goals, but also for being there for me through my worst times and best and putting up with the constant depression about my old weight. To turn it around and give me tips and motivation to keep going ( and it does help him being a fitness manager ;) ) I can't thank you enough. I love you so much!
