TRIP TO THE BEACH!

On Sunday (24 Sep) I began phase 1 of the South Beach diet. Why? After spending a few days reading my old blog I realised that I was totally lost - yes I want to be able to eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full, to never 'diet' again, to not yo-yo but also I really want to lose weight, I want to look good naked!!! and I want to be around to see my kids grow up - without weight issues. Studies have shown that the mum is the most influential person when it comes to how the children eat and what choices they make, if the mum is fit and healthy then high chances the children will grow up to be fit, healthy and, most importantly, have a positive relationship with food. Hey, I also have my sisters wedding in four months and I DO NOT want to be the fat older matronly sister!!!

I am up to day five and I must admit I feel sooooo much better - I knew I had a problem with carbs and to actually see that I can live without them and not crave them is soooo cool. I don't feel like I am obsessing about food - I know what food I can have in this phase and thats that - no trying to squeeze the last points out for the chocolate bar or saying I will spend the points now and make up for them later. Being summer helps of course - couldn't imagine trying to eat salads on a cold winter night.

So here to summer and here's to being a M.I.L.F at the beach this summer!!
