Dieting History
I'm a serial yo-yo dieter and have tried all the main diets -
Slimming World, Weight Watchers, Successful Slimming, Rosemary Conley
- and lots of fad diets too - Egg & Grapefruit, Herbalife, Cabbage
Soup, Australian Army, Low Carb… Always looking for the easy option.
I've finally realised it doesn't exist. I can lose weight on
certain fad diets but always revert back to my old eating habits. With
Weight Loss Resources I have chosen to lose weight at a slower pace
which I believe I can sustain.
On Being Overweight…
Loss of self-confidence and mood swings. I don't do things I would
like to, ie. water slides, swimming (in home town), anything athletic
- even for fun with people I know.
Finding the Motivation
I want to feel better about myself and buy cool/trendy clothes
before I get too old.
Discovering WLR
I found WLR whilst surfing on the internet.
How WLR Helps
WLR has made it easier to see where my calories are coming from. It
has encouraged me to exercise more. I have also found the message
boards very helpful and supportive - although I don't use them as much
now as there are so many people and I can spend hours replying!
Mindy's Tips
Be honest with what you eat, that little square of chocolate today
can turn into a whole bar tomorrow.
Drink lots of water - 2-3 litres a day - it helps with bloating and
can make it easier to lose fat.
A banana is a wonderful snack, it even comes wrapped!
