My Weekly Weigh In

Now I don’t say this lightly, but the Diet Chef plan has changed my life.  I was at a point when I was considering gastric band surgery (although I technically wasn’t heavy enough).  I was totally miserable with myself and my size; not knowing where to turn.  Not being able to exercise hard enough to shift the pounds…. stones, due to back/pelvis issues was a big issue.  I had tried lots of diets and none reaped large enough rewards, considering the amount I had to lose (details of all my previous weigh ins are here if you want a little look).

Then in October 2014, I partnered up with Diet Chef and my life started to change.  Diet Chef is easy, quick, convenient and most of all effective.  At my heaviest I was already missing out on family activities.  I didn’t want to break anything or get stuck anywhere, so I would sit on the sidelines which was heartbreaking.

So now with support from Diet Chef, I have lost 4 stone and so many things have changed for me.  I take more of an active part in family activities, my psychological well being is improving, I can shop in the main section of high street shops, I have more energy, the list goes on.  I have a lot still to lose, but for once in my 19 year dieting career, I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

This week has been a bit of a mixed bag, we had a few day trips to celebrate Baby’s birthday and so I wasn’t on plan all week.  I did, however, do a fair bit of walking.  On Baby’s birthday, I wore my new bargain (£3!) H&M skirt and was confident enough to post a full length picture on IG (I have lots of lovely feedback too!).

Weight lost

-1lb (total 57lb)

Total inches lost (across 10 measurements)

– 1″ (67.5″ total )

 I am actually quite pleased with a loss at all and am now kicking on for a bigger loss next week.

 

The programme I am on would cost £8.75 per day.  However, if you order a 12 week supply this daily cost reduces to £6.61 (this is for all three meals and a snack).  Check the website for great offers.

Disclosure: I am being sent Diet Chef hampers in order to review the programme.  All opinions are 100% honest and are my own.

I would love it if you could spare the time to vote for me in the BIB awards (‘Family’ probably fits my blog best)

  1. Dearest Aby, you have done so well and I can only imagine what a boost in self esteem has done for your body confidence.

    I honestly and truly believe that you are beautiful inside and out no matter what size you are Aby but of course I know and understand that weight is such a subjective thing and affects us all in different ways.

    So wonderful that you are enjoying things you weren’t able to join in with before. Owning the decision to make such a massive life change is so brave and dedicated and I just know you will continue on your journey and get to a place where you are completely happy with your size.

    I loved seeing the pic of you on IG and knew straight away that you were wearing the skirt you bought (I can’t believe that cost £3!) you looked so fabulous and it made me smile seeing that you had decided to step out of your comfort zone and rock a dark lip, which you totally did!

    You are a beautiful, gorgeous loving person Aby and the most amazing friend, always remember that. Somehow you have come into my life at a time when I most needed you and I know I’m gushing now but I don’t care because I bloody love you and your fabulousness xxxxx

The skirt was a proper bargain, and the fact it is pink is another big step 🙂 Thanks re the lip, still to be convinced a bit but I did enjoy trying it. I love you too my darling xxxx

      Thanks so much my darling, I am happier and can’t wait to get to my goal. Thanks for all your support xxx

  4. Keep up the great work! Remember, it’s a marathon not a sprint, and the gradual weight loss is more likely to be permanent weight loss.

    *It’s OK to scoff a few choccy eggs this weekend though* x
