Good afternoon FF’s. So here we are… the longest, poorest and fattest month of the year. BAH HUMBUG is all I can say. I am thoroughly miserable, inside and out, what with the weight gain, lethargy and just BLAH!!!! So, today, I got up early – baked 21 cookies (like I need them), as I didn’t want to waste the ingredients I had bought for Christmas cookies I had made last month, then made a pot of Lentil soup (whilst eating said cookies), to help start the DIET, for REAL tomorrow. I then joined Slimming World on-line, just so I can get the app and tracker again, doing it on-line, as I really cant face sitting with a bunch of women, on my day off, talking about food, what they have and haven’t eaten, what they have watched on TV, wittering on about a load of old crap, then looking around for a round of applause when they lose 0.5 lb (some of these women have been going since they had to use their ration books to pay for it!!!), fair play to them but it’s not not my thing, all it makes me want to do is to buy a Paris Bun from Greggs on the way home.
I did think about the injections, to help rid myself of this blubber…. for about 30 seconds, but
- they are expensive and I cant afford them
- are not for weight loss for the average person, they are meant to help with diabetes
- I am not keen on putting things in my body I know nothing about (but that’s another story!!)
- your body needs protein, calcium, nutrients that it just wont be greeting if you supress your appetite
- I have witnessed some of the side effects that friends have had with them, one being really poorly
- studies are now showing that you put on weight 4 times quicker than when you come off – EEK
- PLUS….. I like to moan about being hungry all the time when I am dieting and then complaining when the weight is not coming off as quickly as I want it to, ‘# Grumpy Old Woman’
I have absolutely no issue with other people using this method, in fact, if I am honest, I am quite jealous of some of the results I am seeing, some people are looking amazing with them, but for me, I will stick with the good old fashioned way… for the time being….. and if I am still this size in 3 months…… WHO KNOWS!!!!?????? (CAN YOU STILL GET YOUR JAWS WIRED?)
A bientot mes amis xxx
