My Weightloss Journey From 78kgs to 53kgs

I was always skinny when I was growing up. I walked a lot, never dieted and enjoyed the good food my mother cooked, she is a phenomenal cook and well I enjoyed eating.When I was in my twenty’s I learned to cook and after I got married at the age of 27, I started cooking and my weight went up to 68kgs but I always bounced back to 63kgs to 66kgs but in my early 30’s I got pregnant and my weight went up to 78 to 80kgs.Now that is a lot of weight because I am just five feet and 2 inches.

As much as I tried I could not lose that weight. I remember getting up at 2 or 3am and cooking sausages and bacon and eating it, I loved comfort eating and telling myself I will diet from tomorrow, but there was always some excuse the next day.

After much prayer and intermittent fasting, my weight slowly came off and I reached 56kgs and now I am 53kgs.It is such a blessing to wear the clothes I like. Being skinny has helped me get more confidence and be happy.

I know what it is like to be morbidly obese. To comfort eat and binge eat. to be shy and scared to go out because you don’t like yourself or the way you look. But let me tell you it is possible to lose weight and stick at it and be 53kgs. It feels like I am a different person altogether. It is possible to lose weight become skinny and be happy. To look and feel confident in my own skin.

If I can do it, you can do it. Keep praying, believing and hoping and you too can lose this weight. I know what it is like to be over weight. God helped me and God can help you as well. All things are possible for God. So if you are struggling with your weight , you can lose the weight. I did it so can you. All the best.

Weight Loss with A Difference Part -2

Hi there darlings, sweethearts, munchkins, today I feel blessed and refreshed after spending time with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the good news is now I am 70 kgs and the better news is that Lord God Almighty is doing a new thing in our lives as a family, remember darlings the family that prays together stays together.

We serve a Lord God of love at the same time God gave us something that makes us so individualistic apart from our DNA, God gave us something called choice , yet God being Omniscient knew already the choices we will make and the road that we will take, yet He loved us so much He wanted us all irrespective of our nationality, gender,  wealth, He wanted us all to be Saved and go to Heaven. Yet there were people who took the wrong path and did bad things yet God loves them and died for them on the cross and loves them just as much as you and me.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life “

Beloved He” God” loves us so much, He knows what is best for us and even if you have made some wrong choices it is never too late to come back to God, He “ The Saviour” is waiting for you. Every one is a sinner yet God through His divine grace and mercy has forgiven us and is waiting for us with open arms.

Remember you are loved, you are worthy, you are beautiful, you are special and yes God has a wonderful plan for your life, He is reaching out his hand to you, a hand of love , forgiveness, and peace take his hand, It is Never too late. God can change time and seasons with one word. He is that great, yet he humbled himself to be born in a manger.

This Season let us live life with a reason, Know God loves you through grace your sins are forgiven and through justification, your introspection has had a transformation, let us preach to the Nations about our Lord God Creator of Creation.Image

A Different View To Weightloss

by in Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , | 351 Comments

Hi there dear darlings, fellow dieters, and lovely friends. This Week has had it’s good points and some bad points as well. The good points being I am now 71kgs and bad points I have had a bad flu and sore throat. But darlings look on the brighter side, if you are sick today, but I believe I will be well tomorrow, you may say don’t make such assumptions aunty,

 

Let me tell you a little secret when I was 4 years old I got severe allergic bronchitis asthma, it was that bad the Doctor’s told my parents I will die but God by His grace and favour saved me and healed me.

 

 When I was older in my twenty’s I got depression, my life had crumbled the dreams of getting married or even having a job seemed impossible but let me tell you darling my Lord God in his favour and mercy let me get a great job or a few jobs, then when I was ready for marriage God brought my husband in my late twenty’s into my life and even though he knew about my depression This man of God accepted to marry me. Now that is what our Lord God does for His children.

 

I am now healed and well, cook, clean , do the laundry, dance ( when no ones watching) sing my heart out when my daughter goes to school and write when my daughter goes to bed, this is where my awesome Lord has kept me for this moment in time, Christmas is coming planning outfits for my daughter and planning Christmas presents for the family is exciting.

 

I thank God for what I have and I also thank my Lord for helping me lose weight, I am just a quiet ( most of the time) ordinary housewife placed in this great cosmic universe on planet earth, in  the country  of United Kingdom in Northern Ireland in County Armagh In city Lurgan, I am just a teeny weeny speck on the map, yes I do like cooking, singing and writing but above all I am thankful To the Lord God Almighty for giving me the privilege of knowing Him and giving me a wonderful family, all I can say is Thank you Lord if you can use nothing to write something, you can use me. “ Here Am I Lord Send Me “( The Bible)Image

My Weight loss Journey

by in Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , | 10 Comments

Hi there dear friends, it is me the Indian Aunty again on a Mission, you may ask me what mission aunty, the mission my dear munchkins is to be a size 10 again about 50- 55 kgs by Christmas day.

 

This is the best gift I can give myself, I have a personal trainer and my husband who has lost a lot of weight is also encouraging me on this weightloss journey.

I am now 73kgs and I love cooking and when you love cooking it is easy to indulge in the labours of your hard work in the kitchen.

 

But the time has come to become that coveted yummy mummy, as I go to leave my daughter in school I see other mums with more children looking like Victoria Secret Models, I label it to good genes but darlings it is more self discipline.

 

I ask why God why do I have to be on the rounder side ? He the Almighty answers in a deep base voice “darling how many times did you go around the kitchen and open the fridge door and how many comfort foods of tea and toast with marmalade have you had? why child why ? Now child practise discipline “

 

To tell you the truth munchkins I do not like exercise but my trainer does not push me above the limit. My husband and I when we work out together at the gym has started me on lifting weights but we women have to suffer for beauty be it braces for my teeth as I had in my teenage years, to high heel shoes and now the gym, I would have loved to get a tummy tuck and liposuction but  as a struggling musician and author that can only be a dream.

 

I am not proud of my 73kg weight nor my size 14 clothes, but through hard work, determination and dedication this can be achieved. I have my personal trainer for 8 weeks and  I hope to at least drop two dress sizes by then. My Birthday is coming up on November so hopefully I will be a size12 by then.

 

Why is there so much hype on money, looks, cars and homes, that is the way the world measures success but I believe to be a successful individual you must have peace of mind, self discipline, love and security.

 

“You have to make you proud “and making you proud of who you are and what you have achieved you hence become a strong individual, no one can walk on this road called life for you, you have made a choices some right, some wrong but you have to live with the choices you have made. It is never too late, there is hope,  pray you make the right choices.

 

I may not have much materially but I have a wonderful husband and a gorgeous daughter and all the choices I make revolves around them, So make the right choice get on that treadmill “you be proud of you” and being comfortable with who you are, you send positivity to people around you. You are beautiful, You are precious, God has a wonderful plan for your life

My weightloss journey

by in christianity, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , | 1 Comment

I am writing a journal to track my weightloss. I am 5 feet 3 inches and am 167.6 pounds. I am Indian and yes I am a fat Indian aunty. My goal is to lose 67 pounds by the 18th of November which is my 35th Birthday to make matters worse my husband has just lost 4 stone and looks fit, trim and handsome while I waddle with him by his side like a force fed duck yes I do need to see a weight loss quack. As I look at my thunder thighs and thunder arms I just can not recognise myself.

How did I get this way by eating dominos pizzas, Chocolate bunnies easter eggs, and a chinese take aways me a couch potato ” No Way’ but as I look at my self in the mirror I see a middle aged Indian aunty looking back at me I can hardly recognise my self make up helps but one can’t hide those balloons behind my back oh no it is my derrière.Not to mention the ones in the other side.

My handsome husband was holding me in his arms the other day and he said darling you have love handles. Referring to the extra pounds on my belly and side. So now I am now taking the step to shed my pounds. I am not happy in my skin I do enjoy a good joke or two but if it is constantly referred to the latter word beginning with b and ending with tt that belongs to me I have to do something about it.

So now from today my first goal is to reach a size 12 dress by the end of May I am now a size 14. So my fellow dieters lets get busy shedding this weight. From size 14 to size 12. One of my favourite saying is where there is a will there is a way so next sunday about this time I will let you know how much weight I have lost. From Fat to Fab here I come.

Love

The Indian Aunty
