From slightly overweight (damn you BMI and your harsh words) to long and lean like Jennifer Aniston (my ideal) in the blink of an eye. Don’t I wish.
I keep seeing these purely disgusting ads on TV for some sort of magic potion that you drink and it expands in your stomach leaving hardly any room for you to eat food. Apparently Sophie lost 20kgs in 14 days by drinking this magic potion. The thought of these kind of ‘lose weight fast’ products makes me feel physically sick. Who on earth would put themselves through something so vile? After a bit of Googling, I’ve discovered some horrible side effects to these magic potions and know too well that they are actually more like the devils juice than anything else (not sure why but that instantly makes me think of Michael Jackson and his Jesus Juice. Eww).
Meal replacement shakes. Fat blaster tablets. Expand in the belly potions. NO, NO AND NO.
A well balanced diet and regular exercise leads to a healthy lifestyle - it’s not rocket science and everyone knows this is the healthy way to drop fat, but my goodness gracious me, it is hard work. How do I stop going for the trusty old favourites like hot chips and donuts and stick to nutrient rich quinoa, fresh vegetables, high protein meals and most importantly, sugar free snacks. HOW I ASK YOU. It seems impossible.
One of my favourite bloggers, Amanda @ Me Vs The Bulge, makes it seem so easy, even though from reading her blog I know too well that in fact, it’s not been easy at all. She is just so determined and strong willed. Inspirational she is. She has me hanging on her every word, simply because I love reading her story and seeing her progress. She is looking so amazing after losing something crazy like 25kgs. She is currently training for a Sports Model contest which is being held in a few weeks, and I can’t wait to see some photos because she already looks like a winner.
But for me, there will be no sports model competition to get me motivated. Simply a white dress. One white dress that is going to change me in so many ways, and I’m mostly talking physically, sister. Kyha over at OneDay Bridal has sketched me a stunningly fabulous dress which gives me six months to get myself in tip top shape before she starts creating the dream dress. Scary but ever so exciting at the same time.
Love to you all,
