Long time guys!!!!
So much has happened since I blogged last. I successfully
lost 9 kilos (0r so, can’t remember now) to the dreaded Mastercleanse diet.
Yup! 10 days of starvation and living on flavoured, peppery water solution. The
Mastercleanse, or
Of course I gained it back. Well half of it though… and a
few more when Nda Sero came visiting. (Story for another day)
I met up with my friend and sis at her parent’s golden
jubilee celebrations and she is now half her size. A debrief from her only
reminded me of how far away discipline has gone from me concerning feeding
habits. Portion control, yeah right! Eat healthy… boring! She said many
interesting things about the mind and it’s (re)focusing the way we think of
food. Yeah, some day! Glad-ish that it worked (is working) for her though. My
day of break through will come!
Another friend launched a weight-loss program that’s a direct
opposite of this. It is a, “The more you eat, the more you lose” program. My
head can’t wrap itself around it since it goes against everything I have ever
known. But over 60 kilos loss after, it is clear that she MUST know what she is
talking about and that it works! So, why haven’t I started? Hmm… too good to be
true? Or worse, it is the fixation on food. I have a problem with having to
think through my week’s food timetable. I can’t be that focused on food, the
next meal, the next snack etc… Can I just live?
Another good friend sees me at a party and says to me (and
later my dh), “I dropped 2 clothing sizes.” What did he do? A juice diet.
Mmmmscheeew! Where is the gist? Did you not just hear me say that any
starvation diet based on liquids is a guaranteed weight loss therapy? Why are
you singing and dancing about your 2 months and 2 dress sizes fiasco. I should
really publish a “Water Detox & Diet” – drink only water for 5 days. Let’s
see if you will not drop 4 dress sizes! A beg second base jare!
Another friend went under the knife. Hmmm. I tried to talk
her out of it and now I am squirming with envy as I see the weight drop off
every week. Soon she will be doing Size 12 clothes and I will be looking like
her aunty. But no, I still draw the line somewhere ad I guess the knife is my
line.
This weight loss thing is a constant reality check for me.
It reminds me that I have quite a few things that are way beyond my control
still. Reminds me of the proverbial (biblical) thorn in the flesh that Paul
spoke of. I need a massive dose of vanity to care and a whole new paradigm
shift to believe that it is attainable. Yes I still have that nasty mind-block
that I can’t lose weight… Nasty stuff!
So how has the month been for you?
