Tips to loosing weight

Once upon a time i was giving my baby a bottle of water and he started playing with the bottle and then threw it down, so i handed my baby to my nanny and decided to give to pick the bottle, tried squatting to pick it the bottle and it was just impossible so i decided to bend down yet my hand could not reach the floor i was obstructed by the 160kg fat which had made sure i could not pick the bottle. Then reality struck me, i was severely obese and need to do something right now before i die!

I thought about my sedenatry life which never included exercise and my eating habit? just too sad to mention, i became desperate to loose weight ... i started with taking walks in the field but i noticed i get tired easily and i was not loosing as fast as i wanted to enable me start running. Was introduced to Cambridge diet by a friend/consultant and since then i got hooked.

As a beginner, starting a weight loss journey takes every being in you, you need to need it more than ever before and be determined enough to go through it... whether is waking up and exercising or just watching what you eat or even dieting, it needs to be a lifestyle and that's the only way to get through.

Whether you have 5kg or 80kg to loose you need to find your motivation stick on it and dont ever think you will start to see results from day 1.

Know yourself: What will work for you may not certainly work for me, study your body and know what is good for you. not everyone can diet like am doing, even me at a time i could not diet because i always wanted to eat even when am not hungry.

Baby Steps: You did not put all those fat in one day so dont expect to loose it in a split of a second. Have a goal every week and try to acheive it, i used to walk on the steps 5 times when i started then i pushed myself in walking 10 times and more ... dont worry you will see the changes pretty soon.

Dont be discouraged: There are days when you feel "hey am not loosing any weight i rather continue eating" that's the worst thing you can ever do to yourself. Just keep calm and be focused, people may not notice those little changes you get to feel but you know (deep in your heart ) that you are turning around to your dream weight.

If you mess up, try again: Just because you cheated or skipped a work out session doesnt meant you should quit. get up dust yourself and try again. Stop the self pity and move that fat around.

Start from your comfort zone: Not everyone can do those workouts as seen in the videos, they actually started from somewhere, like me am avery busy person so working out from mondays to fridays is almost impossible, what i do is after ensuring that my kids have slept, i go to the stairs and climb 20 times have my bath and sleep, this is my comfort zone what i can do so i make it a routine. if also you are dieting and cannot do a liquid diet all through, the add some meals, just ensure you watch the amount of calories you are taking in.

Focus on the end goal: As i said earlier, always begin with the end in mind, you are trying to change your life and this is not an easy thing to do, just keep doing what you are doing and never forget when you tend to achieve at the end.

Listen to your doctor: Always ensure you consult your doctor before you start any program.

Anyone else have any advise to share? any specific question?

Question of the day.... What will you gain when you loose?

Alot of times we forget why we start a journey and tend to loose track like I almost did today and now am beating myself up.
Anyways I did a lot of thinking and I thought I should share my thoughts with you all ... So really what will I gain when loose? So many things really... I will tell you guys my story one day but for now ... I know I  will gain confidence, health to mention but a few... I have been ridiculed because of my weight, been judged wrongly because of my excesses and even skipped on something that should be duly mine just because of my weight,  but all that will soon be in the past because I don't intend on given up, I prayed to God for willpower and discipline so far my God has not disappointed me.

So people let me throw the question to the floor ...

WHAT REALLY WILL YOU GAIN WHEN YOU LOOSE?

Please drop your thoughts/comments

It's weigh in day!

Infact it's this morning. I don't know why am shaking like a young girl who just took JAMB for the third time and is about to see her results ... Lol
Just the thought that I may loose little or gain some scares me like hell.
Do you know what, I have passed through the scale in my room 14 times already. My Aunty keeps shouting "jump on it already!" As far as am concerned she will never understand. This moment could be a moment of bliss or hmm a moment of beating myself up.
I have dreaded this scale this week not like I cheated but I am not just confident enough, but I have promised to win "myself" in this journey and there is no going back about that.
Ok jus give me 20 mins will get back to you guys with what I weighed for this week... Later

Day 18 .... Facing my demon

Today has been pretty much OK, i had 1.5 litres of water this morning (kinda like a routine) before having my strawberry shake, I took my kids to the hospital today for routine checks and so i spent most of my morning there this means i went to work late infact during lunch time...
As i just entered the office, the whole place more like my nose and thoughts was agog with this awesome smell of indomie (am sure its indomie onions) and fried egg with some sausage may be two :). the worse part is that i cannot run out of the office at that time because i have not been in the office all day and had serious stuffs pending... i felt hungry... you know that feeling when you are certain that the hunger is coming from the nose not the tummy :) ... anyways am proud of my self that i scaled through. When i see the picture above, i motivate myself to keep moving, knowing one day it will pay off, dont get me wrong, this is one of, if not the most difficult descions i have ever made but am determined to stick with it. i want to be happy with myself, be able to do little things for my sons like squatting to tie their shoe laces or playing football with them, also when is time for their inter house sports, i want to be there for them, its one sacrifice i make today that will change my entire world....lets run this race together where ever you are and trying to loose weight and really feel like cheating... just remember, its not all about you now... #TeamSlimbody...
