As soon as we set the date for our wedding, i knew i needed to kick myself into gear. This is the real deal, if i make any more excuses i'll only be punishing myself. I want to look nice in my wedding photo's, next to Stuart Smith who is doing fantasically well at his new regime.
Whenever i think about junk food, an image flashes before my eyes, of an overweight and unattractive bride, flab free flowing over the back of her dress. That bride will be me if i give in to the feeling which has been controling the last few years of my life... the need for food.
Until a few days ago, i couldn't really pinpoint what would make me not care about my body, and i feel quite ashamed that it's taken something like a wedding to change what i put into my mouth. I came across an article that got me thinking what really makes me want to eat. Is it my personal insecurities? Convenience? Boredom, laziness or simply that i have just given up?
Personally, i would say all of the above.
The question is - how does one get out of this rut? Having a goal - something to focus on, has made a difference to my attempt. I have always responded to deadlines, and a direct management style to get a task finished on time -
February 5th 2011 is the deadline.
The outcome is 20kg lighter.
This blog will document my journey to a healthier, happier, fitter and slimmer body... And one hell of a wedding day!
