Apologies for my lack of posting, I can't believe that it has been over month since I last posted, it doesn't feel that long ago! Mainly because I do have a couple of draft posts about clothes lingering, they aren't quite polished or ready yet though.
Anyway time for a recap.
At present I now weigh 12 stone and 1 pound. March was another month of good intentions not amounting to much. I don't feel sad about it though, what I have discovered over the last couple of months of pissing about diet wise is that I am capable of maintaining my weight. The good weeks when I stick to the GI diet, I lose weight. The bad weeks where I stick to the GI diet 60% of the time, eat some calorific meals and eat one chocolate bar (we are talking a twirl here, not huge bars of the stuff) a day, I maintain my weight. That really is great to know, that I can essentially be a little naughty, eat tasty food and not gain weight.
But, and yes there is always a but, what I really need to do now is lose weight. I want to and need to be losing 1-2 pounds a week. Although I like being much lighter and I love all the supportive comments I have been given about my achievement to date. I am not happy with my body, I still have a big tummy, flabby arms and legs. My BMI is still in the obese range - I'm nearly at the 'overweight' stage but in terms of health, all of this is still not enough. I am almost a size 16, but still there are several shops that won't let me shop in them! I need to get real and most importantly I need to stick at dieting.
So this week I have again started dieting, in the strict sense of the word! I have filled my freezer with quorn and chicken. I will eat lots of soup. I have got quick and simple lunches so that I can't be tempted in the supermarkets to buy more than a sandwich. I think I will also reread the GI Diet book to re-familiarise myself with its principles. I'll deal with giving up sugar again (for the millionth time!). Most of all I must start to lose weight every week, no matter what amount so that I can move closer to my goal, it is still some distance away, but I must at the very least be headed for it.
Nine stone me here I come.
