So I've shown you a few of the dresses I love, and touched briefly about wanting to be in shape for the big day. #OperationWeddingDress is a hashtag I will refer to on Twitter if I'm discussing anything diet or fitness, which isn't that often! I tried calorie counting, because I had to be a certain weight as I skydived earlier this year (if you want to see the blog post and video, click HERE). I managed to lose a stone counting a total of 1200 calories a day and doing an hours walk here and there and a few sessions on WiiFit. This was over about 6 weeks, and I felt great.
However, just before the skydive, we went on holiday and I was still eating salads and healthy things, trying not to gain any more lbs, but then little ice creams and pina colada's began to creep in. My willpower failed and I was just about OK for the dive, but after that my inner foodie took over again, and I've lost control yet again. I wouldn't even say it's emotional eating or anything like that, it's just me and the hubby to be love buying snacks, slobbing in front of Emmerdale, stuffing ourselves until we can't breathe. How healthy are we? Eating out also plays a big part in our lives, as we have our brothers/sister in laws all as couples, and we love to go and have a meal altogether, as well as takeaways and god knows what else. So I've managed to put on another half a stone over the last few weeks. #FAIL.
So there we go, I've finally bitten the bullet and done it. I signed up for Weight Watchers online, as I have been thinking about doing it for months as the only way to combat my eating habits, and to get me in the right frame of mind. I was really nervous about the meeting, but it was fine when I got there. The ladies were all really friendly, I was by far the youngest one there, with all the rest being around 40+. They weighed me, calculated the points I could have each day, with a 5% weightloss target which works out to 10lbs. So, first of August, second day of it but first day after being weighed.
I'm feeling pretty positive at the moment, I'm on holiday in 5 weeks time, so hopefully I will have lost a little bit by then so that's my first aim. The wedding dress is the constant aim, but if I have goals along the way I think it'll help. Good luck to anyone who's on it, have you had success? Also, if you are thinking about it, it might be worth just signing up and having a go, what's the worst that could happen? I shall update next week about how #OperationWeddingDress is going!
