Putting a stop to the abuse. I'm finally ready...

Without further ado, I am finally ready, at 33 years old, to do something about my ever increasing weight. My highest has been 84kgs for some years. I am now 90kgs, and have been for many months. If I don't do something now, I am going to get increasingly bigger until I die. I am a food addict, and my self loathing and self abuse has been slowly but consistently allowing me to put on the kilos until I have reached crisis point.

After much thought and decision, on Monday I will begin transforming my poor, abused body into a nurtured, loved one. I have the help of a new 'magic powder' just newly released on the Australian market which should really help.

These are the guidelines which I will be following from Monday 16th March 2009.

1. Fridays will be my 'free day'. On this day I can have 1 free meal, and no excercise.


2. I will be drinking 2+ litres of water a day to flush out toxins.


3. For the first 2 weeks I will be doing 1 lap around the town lagoon (about 30 minutes brisk walking) for cardio. I will increase this to 2 laps in a fortnights time.


4. Sunday night I will be recording my weight and my measurments for a starting point.


5. I will be taking the 'magic powder' twice a day 20 minutes before meals.


6. I will be taking multivitamins 3 times a day OMEGA EFA with vitamin E 3 times a day.


7. My afternoon binging will no longer happen as in this time from now on I will be walking and too busy.


8. I will only have 2 snacks a day morning tea and afternoon tea.


9. I will only be having 2 cups of coffee a day, 1 in the morning and 1 at morning tea. These will be taken with skim milk and artificial sweetner.


10. Breakfast for the next month will be a meal replacement shake with NO FAT milk and fruit.


11. I will NOT be eating later than 8pm on ANY NIGHT.


12. I will limit myself to just ONE BOTTLE of wine a WEEK. On my Free day. I will review this in a month and see if I can cut down to one bottle a fortnight.


13. In 4 weeks I will review this routine, and with that information I may increase my excercise and cut down my alcohol even further. Weights will also be added later in the peace, right now I just need to focus on getting into a cardio routine.

WISH ME LUCK!! I will post my first measurements and weight Sunday night.
