My weightloss Journey

My mother has been my inspiration on my weight loss journey. She has always been thin and never had a weight problem. She inspires me and is my mentor on losing weight. I am now 162.8 pounds. My mother has been a teacher for 20 years and now works along side my dad Rev Canon Rajkumar Sathyaraj. My mother is kind, loving and hospitable. I am very proud to be her daughter and hope one day my daughter will be as proud of me as I am of my mother.

My mother has never worried about her weight as she has never been overweight and she always eats small portion sizes. I dedicate this blog to my mentor and inspirational supporter who is my mother. My mother has stood by my side through out my life and I never have heard her complaining. She has always been loving and cheerful plus empathetic to people’s feelings.

I could not have asked for a better or prettier mum and hope I can be the sort of mother my mother was to me. I love you mum thank you for being the inspiration for my weightloss.

My weightloss journey

Hi I am tracking my weight every week. I am the Indian aunty who is shedding the the rice and curry pounds.  I am happy to announce that in five days I have lost 2.5 pounds of weight. I am 165.2 pounds. Every pound lost is a blessing. I hope to be a size 12 by the end of May and get back to my pre- pregnancy weight. As an Indian aunty living in Northern Ireland and married to an Irish man I have adapted to the Irish culture especially the Irish food.

As my husband loves Chicken curry and rice I love fish and chips.Now you can also get curry chips how Indo- Irish can one get. I try to eat smaller portions and  go out for walks when ever I can. I do not have a specific plan except to lose this weight by my 35th birthday and wear the clothes I would like to wear.

I wish all my fellow dieters all the best. We can do it and hope by God’s grace , determination and will power we can lose this excess flab and move on to fab. So here is me signing of Wishing my fellow dieters 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
