My fiance and i have been together 6 years and we just recently got engaged. Im so beyond excited but now im sooo worried about how huge i will look in that white dress. Ive already found and purchased a beautiful dress that fits great (surprisingly!) but i just want to feel good about myself and i want to look good on my special day next year. I just need to get myself motivated. Ive tried all those fad diets so now im just going to start walking again and watching the portion sizes and track calories and weight. Getting back on track... whos with me?
I need to get back on track. I need to quit binging at night. And I need to start eating when I should. Right now it's after 3pm and I haven't eaten anything today.
1.Protien ( NOT SOY Protine ) 2 drinks a dy. AM & PM.
Protien keeps me feeling full for a few hrs.
2.Fiber. Dry fiber cer-o is good. Makes a nice lunch.
Fiber keeps me feeling full for a few hr's.
Soy milk has somewhat of sweet taste to it.
I make mine up by the wk - into a trail mix. add peanuts,banana chips,dried pinapple n raisens, shredded coconut flakes. I also eat it plan & for so called mid night regf raid.
3. scheduled sleep pattren.
4. reg daily BM's. at least 1 per dy.
5.walk. if needed start walking 5 minutes a day at normal pace. build up to 40minutes 3 times a wk. walk as u normal do. not fast, not jog, nor slow.
Don't bring into your home that which u do not want to eat/be tempted by.
He too can start a new healthy life style w you. so that you both can have healthy & long life together.
if he must have junk. he can do so by himself out side the home.
he's to get rid of fast food bags & whatever else out of his truck - before he pulls by into driveway.
6.Portions is also a must do/have.
My powder protien calls for 2 scoops in a glass. I use water instead of milk.
I have 4 glasses a dy.
instead of 2 scoops. I only use 1. that way I have the whole dy covered. I have my last drink aprox 2 hrs before I go to bed.
Oh ya with a good steel blender u could also add fresh fruits n vegs & ice into protine drink. The ice is liken to chards of tiny slives of ice. sorta of liken to milk shake.
it took time & $ to get where we are. Don't give in.Don't quit. we can - will reach our goal. Walking is free.
PS. it's normal to have mini relaspes. don't get dishearted/beat yourself up. just re start.
Since I'v been on med for thyroid disorder I gain n gained weight.
u might opt to have your thyroiid tested. If I knew that goriter wouldn't regrow, I would temporary stop takeing my med.
Just as you are,your going to be an absolutely beautiful bride.
apparently he likes the way you look. as husband & wife you both can start a healthy life style together.
may u both veiw marriage liken to a roller coaster w no exits. some times your both on same track & some times not, but hang on for u both will come together - be on same track - going in same direction at same time. always wait ion the other to catch up.
I'm soo happy for you both.
And remember that looking good is directly related to felling good!
If you do what you can do until the big day you're gone feel great and look fab!
The best to the both of you!
