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.

My weightloss journey

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
