I've got no idea, where to start with my first blog... but I wanted to write a bit about my trip, loosing weight, or at least, trying to loose weight...
It has been a long road already, which started after the birth of my first son. Gained almost 30 kg, but I also lost them again; same story with son number 2 and 3, but than my little girl came, and the extra kilos just sticked, they didn't want to disappear. After our girl, we had boy number 4, and I was over 90 kilos at that time.
I must admit, if I don't feel well, meaning, if I am sad, or uncomfortable, or whatever it is, that I am not smiling, I comfort myself with food.... As many of us.... During the last pregnancy I got problems with my heart, since my weight was that high (I am only 1,58 m high, or better short ;) ) I need to take meds, and I don't want to end up dying young like my parents, so I need to make a change!
That's why I started DietBet, after having read some stuff about/from John David Glaude, he is really inspiring to me, as he knows (as many other people here) how it is to be big, and how to loose it.
I have started several attemps, but after a week or so, all inspiration was gone, and I was stuffing everything in again... This time, I hope it will be different. I keep the comment of John in my head, "one rep at the time".
I have already lost my 4%, don't know how I have managed to do so, as normally it doesn't go that fast, but it is probably a lot of water, loosing in the beginning. I am trying to work out every working day (so weekends are off) and I am eating low carb. For me, it seems to work, I really hope I will stick with it this time.... Keep my fingers crossed, but I have to admit, it does inspire me, seeing all you guys here, trying the same as I am trying, loosing that excessive weight... Wish us all the best of luck!!!!!
Fingers crossed and best regards,
Astrid
