Chapter 7 – From Porker to Princess Sunday 7th December 2014 “Surround yourself with beautiful people” Firstly a massive thanks to the pledges that have come in so far for Maggie’s, keep them coming – its great motivation!! It’s been a couple of weeks since the last chapter and I have been looking for some inspiration for this one. I will briefly mention my first weigh in, on Monday….down 14 lbs and 22.5 inches – in 28 days! Wow!! That took a bit of getting used to. I am human, and have the stresses of everyday life like everyone else does. Now I cannot turn to chocolate or cake for comfort as I have made a pledge to lose another 4 stone by October next year! Trying to deal with my emotions in a different way (other than eating) has been very hard! I have had some personal things going on this week and it has had an obvious impact on my eating pattern and training. I have stuck with the food and I have been hitting the gym, but my heart rate is not moving much and I feel very lethargic. I have therefore been worrying more, as I know how much of a negative impact raised cortisol levels and emotions have on fat loss – this has again made matters worse – A VICIOUS CIRCLE. I am a very lucky girl, to be surrounded by likeminded people who are there to support me every step of the way! Without having the confidence to talk to these people this week, and without their constant support and shoulder to cry on – things would have been a lot worse! I am so grateful I am surrounded by beautiful people and for all of you my followers – you are a constant reminder every day that this is all worth it, it is amazing to see your donations coming in and to get messages saying that you find me and this page inspiring – WOW! I do not want this page to be negative, but I want it to be realistic, and I feel that I have to share this week with you. I have no doubt in my mind that if I were to weigh myself tomorrow my weight would of increased! I accept that and I will move on from that – luckily there is another 4 weeks until weigh in! I feel it is very important to highlight that even when exercising and sticking to an eating pattern religiously – unless your body, emotions and mind set is in check – then it is a losing battle! This is a battle I am NOT GOING TO LOSE!! As I have said before I am here for anyone who has struggles, I love being a problem solver and providing advice, time and love to anyone who needs it! So if you do not feel as if you have anyone – U HAVE ME!! Thank you to my small group of amazing friends and to my mum, dad and gran! You guys are my rock and my beautiful people! Today is a day off food wise and I am going to enjoy a lovely breakfast with friends at Food Story Aberdeen to discuss our upcoming Christmas Market trip to Prague! I am not there yet, but I am certainly on the road to emotional recovery! Have a fabulous Sunday! Love Amanda x
