Weight loss- Part 1

I have finally come to the realization that dieting is not going to work for me. I have read a lot of times that it has to be a lifestyle change. I always believed if I lost the weight keeping it off would be easy, unfortunately I proved myself WRONG. I lost a lot of weight last year due to dieting and being on a strict exercise program. But once I felt comfortable I began eating as I did before and stopped exercising and now months later I am back at the starting line. I managed to put on all the weight I had lost and then some. So my mission now is to be healthy and that involves me loosing a lot of weight. Here's my story.......................

I started off kinda skinny and over the years, since I have finished school I have put on a lot of weight. I have many times tried to blame all this weight on my 2 pregnancies, but at the back of my mind I know this is unfortunately not true.

My main problem is that I love food,sweet treats especially chocolates and baked goods. And I love 'rich' food so stuff with cream and a lot of butter is usually what I go for. Since I am home a lot I snack and nibble a lot more frequently then I should .

But to be healthy I have to change all of this. I have done a lot of reading regarding weight loss and keeping the weight off. My first step was calculating my BMI so that I have an idea of were I am and what my ideal weight should be.

The easiest way to work out what your healthy weight should be is calculating your bmi. Just click here and it will take you to the Pick n Pay bmi calculator. You just need to know your height and weight.

In part 2 I will be telling you what my plan is on to loose the weight and keep it off.

Till next time
