HOLA!
Hi everyone. I have just started this blog as a diary of my 3-month journey to a whole new look! Yes!! That's what this is about. I intend to tell my all... bare my heart, share my fears, my passions, my successes, my desires, my failures (I hope there won't be many!).
BRUTAL HONESTY!!!
I also intend to be brutally honest about everything I say because I want to be terribly accountable to each and everyone of you. I have started this weight-loss journey unsuccessfully too many times to try to do it by myself again. There are loads of patterns that overweight people go through. There are secrets we share. There are major insecurities we have. I'll let you into them... no holds barred.
COLLECTIVE CONSCIENCE Y'ALL!!
So you are my (collective) conscience as I start through this journey. The objective is easy... to build up some self-discipline through denial and hopefully, to achieve the desired weight loss at end. Some of my methods will be pretty unusual, hence the need for some company! But we'll do this together and because you are with me... this will work! Right?
Welcome... and belt up!!!

Whoop whoop!!!
Ritzy!!!
The eternal battle of the bulge.......the unending story of the weight loss journey, the final chapter in a life long saga....
Now is the time to do something other than talk....I guess the time is now........
Am in!
I'm behind you, girl.
Yeah!!! You know I am with you every step of the way. I am so glad to hear this. Of course this will work!!!.... in answer to your question.
You know you can do it. Okay so let us start with a baseline so we know what we are working with and we can rejoice and encourage along the way for various milestones that are accomplished. In other words we need to know your current weight what we are starting with and your goal (realistic goal or not) I say realistic or not because for example it might not be a good idea for you to lose too much too soon. For instance and I am using pounds here not kilos ... losing 50 pounds in one month is unrealistic however 50 pounds over 3 months is more realistic.... I hope I explained that well enough.
Also are we starting this weight loss plan tomorrow or the day after etc ? You are going to be accountable to us so we need to have the details...all the details of what you are eating, type of exercise for your plan. We also need to know the details of what you actually end up doing/eating and we will compare it to the plan you gave us initially.
Are you planning to do diet and exercise together or focus on one ? If you would prefer to focus on one area first, I would recommend diet. Diet will help you lose weight even without exercise in the short term. Without a healthy diet no matter how much you exercise you will not see the loss in weight. Exercise can be introduced gradually, this is what we do with our patients and we have seen great results this way. Also patients are more encouraged to add exercise to their routine when they have already lost some weight. If you need advise on what to eat to ensure that you learn healthy eating habits, let me know. Girl this journey is for life not just the 3 months you wrote.
I totally understand you Sake'm!..always been there,done that and still doing it.i recently gave up as a rebellious reaction to a bout of dissappointment?...but hey,its spring/summertime and its my "drop 8 kilos"season.2kilos for every month;its an unambitious target for me,but i find that when i target it that way,i loose a bit more.i usually cut my carbs by half,eliminate as much as possible my night sweet craving,and walk "everywhere".and here you come with some inspiration for me???...am on you like a leach!and i cant wait to scrape as much tips as i can dear;you go girl!...watching you keenly.
Blog 'bookmarked', to be read everyday. A brave move Uloma, I am pretty sure you will hit your objectives. Remain blessed.

Love you sooooooooooo much.. and I'm rooting for you.. woohoooo...xxx
Thanks everyone. You will not understand how difficult it was to get to this point. I had gone past believing that I can actually lose weight ever again. Comes with the territory really. You just start making new (fat) friends, discover new shop (for fat people) and begin to condition and accept your life as a fat person. And that's it!
I am not sure where this burst of new zeal came from but I do recognise that beyond dieting (or going on temporary hunger strike as this really is, it is a lesson in discipline. I know that the real reason why I ever get mad or upset when my weight is addressed is because it makes me come across as "unable to lose weight due to a lack of discipline"... I hate that!
I have been told that I need a large dose of vanity to be able to pull this through. I am still trying to find it! LOL!!!
