So I’m planning to start losing weight mid December early January I want to lose 3-4 dress sizes by April (comic con and I really want to dress as Tomb Raider I want to lose weight anyway but thought having a target would go better than just lose what I can when I can)
Worried I can’t lose weight because I know some people physically can’t I mean I walked best part of 10 miles a day 5 days a week and I barely lost a few pounds, I was also doing yoga in the afternoon daily and squats and lunges (up to 300 a day but had to stop as I caused damage to my knees from not wearing supportive shoes when I was doing all the walking)
I’m looking into the possibility of me achieving this weight goal in such a small amount of time and I’ve already hit one major snag which could be why I’m not losing weight as it is. You have to eat 3 healthy meals a day. I very rarely eat breakfast as the thought of food in the morning makes me queasy and lately I’ve not had time for lunch because of my work hours (it’s too late for lunch and too early for tea once I’m finished so I either snack or just eat tea in a day) how am I going to lose weight if I can’t even fit time in for 3 meals a day?
I plan on going swimming daily as I’ve heard this is a good workout for all areas (plus will help to strengthen my knees). My body shape is weird I need to lose it from belly, thighs and upper arms and tone my butt but everywhere else is the way I want it to be (Skinny lower arms, toned-ish lower legs, could do with a bit more work)
I have to be careful when it comes to dieting I’ve been feeling fat since I was about 13 and tried diets and they’ve gone wrong I’ve either not eaten anything for days then eaten something to stop myself passing out or I’ve dieted well then binged on crap weeks later. I think I’ll attempt either 3 regular meals a day or 5 really small meals I don’t know if this works well. The juice or all fruit/veg diet looks tempting but I’m trying to avoid it.
My appetite is weird (even my doctor said so) I go through stages where I am constantly hungry and barely anything fills me then a few weeks or months later I can barely manage a sandwich a day (at one point it was half a sandwich I was just too full to eat) it goes back and fourth I’ve had blood tests no one knows why my appetite varies so much. I go through stages where I crave fruity sweets (skittles, fruit pastels, starburst etc) no one can explain this to me either and before you ask no I’m not pregnant.
I have a lot to go through especially as I still have sinus problems and knee problems which limit my ability to exercise (I did ok going hard at physiotherapy gym though didn’t go dizzy much or faint) I’m probably not meant to swim with my sinus problems but sod it I’ll put wool or earbud things in to stop water going in.
Will write to say how I’m getting on but at the moment I’m not too sceptical so looking at other outfits for comic con. I’m not doing this for comic con though I’m doing it for me I just thought using comic con as a target would be a good idea.
Thanks if you’ve read this it’s not about whether anyone reads it though it’s just me getting my weight loss worries out in the open.
So 2015 losing 3-4 dress sizes in 4 months can I do it? Well I’ll have to let you know.
