Ten weeks ago I had a baby. Nine months before that she had started growing in my belly which inevitably meant I put on weight. I was super lucky with this birth, not only did I have a beautiful baby but I also came out weighing less than when I started growing a baby.
So you think I would be happy right? Wrong!
I started this pregnancy weighing more than I should, an unhealthy weight really. So now it is time to get rid of it. One little catch here is that I am not very good at staying motivated so I had to come up with something novel.
One morning, whilst rummaging through my drawers trying to find something to wear I was millimeters from stamping my feet and having a nice little hissy fit about having to buy new clothing. Then I realised that I have literally hundreds of clothing items that I could be wearing if only they actually fitted me! So I decided that instead of spending money to buy new clothes I would "spend" my excess weight to simply "buy" my smaller sized clothing!
It feels like my whole mind set has changed, I no longer feel deprived when I don't have sweets or an extra large bowl of pasta, instead I can see all of those clothes that I love so much that I have kept them for years (even though they haven't fitted for many of them).
I am really hoping that I can stick it out with my novel approach.
How about you?
Any weight loss ideas?
and what do you think of mine?
