Weight Loss

It had been a yo-yo diet for since after I gave birth, I always let go after a while though I lose few pounds there is always a feeling of deprivation. I always crave for something like donuts, cakes or burger and as always I surrender my task to these so-called comfort foods. Discipline is what my husband keeps on reminding me every time I succumb to my craving. Ever since food is my weakness, I love to eat especially street foods, ice cream and cakes and now it is my biggest problem.

Back then it wasn't really a problem I am very active, I walk and run a lot. However, pregnancy plus post-partum left me a whooping number of pounds, and I needed extra more time running and minding my food intake. But as I cannot snub foodies that easily I manage to find out some options, diet foods as what they call it. Besides fruits and vegetables there are rich in protein food like milk shakes and protein pancakes that got the same taste with its original version minus the excess fats and carbohydrates. At least now I will no longer feel deprive and no more excuses for not loosing these flab.

Finally after a long persuasion he gave in, Didi finally join my jogging hooray! There is no way he can decline me especially now that he got a running shoes ha ha! He doesn't actually run, but played badminton with one of our housemate while I go for a mix brisk walking and jogging on the nearby park. We manage to keep going for an hour.
And today he again accompanies me for a daily half hour walk and hopefully we can religiously do it at least four times a week, crossing my finger.

I feel like a LOSER

LOSER... yes I feel like one these days, imagine 30 plus pounds gain after giving birth. It has been two years, but I keep on failing myself in getting back into shape or at least to my old body of 120 pounds. In full honesty I slam way up the scale and hit 154 pounds last year and from that day I said to myself this is it, I need to stop this pig from ballooning more. I tried it slowly since 34 pounds was not really gained overnight, numerically this is how it goes....

>>>> 120 lbs - prenatal weight

>>>> 125 lbs - 2 months after delivery

>>>> 140 lbs - 8 months after delivery

>>>> 154 lbs - 20 months after delivery (heaviest)

Three months after deciding to seriously lose weight, I am little down to 148 pounds. My husband is not happy about since he expects a more weight loss and suspecting that I am only fooling him and still pigging out when he is not around. I can't blame him, this is not the woman he falls in love with back then. Even my confidence reversely go down while my weight shoot up high.

Now I am determined to lose this flabs and hit the scale 120 pounds at the end of this year that would be 2.5 pounds per month. I plan to achieve it the healthiest way I can with lots of fruits and veggies, less chips, sweets and sweat it out with a lot of body exercise and regimens.

For this February, I plan to gradually lessen my carbohydrates and have 3 to 4 days a week of one hour fast walking.

I will update you from time to time if I were able to achieve my goal this month and throughout this year. And by the way I welcome some advice on ways and hows in losing weight or you can even join me.
