Watching this documentary on the television,
"Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead".
Its about a guy with an autoimmune disease who
decided to go on a Juice Fast in order to get his body back in
shape.
Long and short of it is he lost a heap of weight
and basically cured himself of his disease.
Very inspiring and making me want to do it (I have
Idiopathic [translation: cause unknown] Anaphylaxis and debilitating migraines
so I wonder if this might not be a solution for me..)...but logistics....the
sheer AMOUNT of fruit and veg they consume in a day is probably not sustainable
in my case I think...
Maybe I can start by just swapping out my breakfast
meals for a liquid substitute of fruit and veg...but i don't have a juicer
either...hmmm....
I am keen...but I also have to be careful as my son
is not bottle-fed and still relies on me. But surely the breakfast swap out
should be ok.
I hate always thinking about food, and when you are
self conscious about your weight that is what you end up doing.
I am someone who loves cooking; I find a lot of
pride in the ability to master a recipe.
In my life I've achieved and maintained substantial
weight loss at least twice. But it only takes one week of bargaining with
yourself, where you make promises to work off the fast food or chocolate treat
later to detract from all that you have accomplished and set you on a downward
spiral. Aside from that I worked out a lot. Like at least a minimum of 1 hour 3-6 days (it was in reality closer to a minimum of 2-3 hours more often than not) a week with an additional 20-40 minutes of Pilates 7 days a week, and Swimming at least 20 minutes at least 3 times a week. That level of commitment is just not possible any longer for me. Hmmm.....
At the moment I want to lose at least four dress
sizes…I really want to be fit again and looking better before I return to work
in July.
The likelihood of that happening however is so
minute it’s depressing.
When do I find the time?
I NEED to
do something though…this bleak :S
Oh lady, you always look beautiful!! I can't imagine you ever NOT looking beautiful... it's impossible!Rather than swapping breakfast, try swapping lunch (or rather split it into 2 meals) and have a huge juice and a huge veggie stir fry. Breakfast is extra extra important... you haven't eaten for 12hrs or longer, you're feeding a baby, you need to eat a decent amount of food for breakfast. Have eggs, or protein and carbs and porrige... something filling! The extra fruit and veg will help you feed your baby :)) and this is all very sound, good advice, that is super hard to follow when you love food as much as we do!!
