Lifelong Wanderlust

I was already dieting before I went on holiday, but I didn't want to diet on holiday, I wanted to enjoy the local foods. Gained a bit of the weight I lost back, but would rather enjoy myself while away than restrict myself. Now I am back from holiday, the diet resumes!

I wish it was easier and didn't take as long to lose weight. Gaining weight seems to happen very quickly, but getting rid of it takes forever. Even when eating the right amount of calories, it is awful to have a week where you haven't lose a single pound. I wish there was a way to lose weight fast that actually worked where the weight stayed off and and wasn't dangerous to your health. I know that any lose weight fast plans are mainly your body losing water so you gain the weight when you stop the short diet, but it still doesn't stop me wanting a quick fix.

Since I lost lots of weight in 2010 I started travelling more which meant sampling lovely food around the world, which lead to me gaining weight again. Unhappy with the fact some of my clothes don't fit now, I am on a diet again and losing weight as I speak. I am going to be travelling around Europe in May and won't have lost all the weight I need to by then, so I will have to continue the diet when I get back as I am not going to stop sampling local delicious foods when I might not have the chance again. I will be going from the UK to Barcelona - Rome - Brussels - Amsterdam and then back home. Should be a brilliant 2 weeks to explore Europe. I have always wanted to go to Italy so that is the place I am looking forward to most. I have a great love for Italian food so I will enjoy the food there although my waistline might not agree!

Well I did it. I got to my target weight! Lost loads of weight and it took months, but I am glad I did it.

Since I have lost so much weight, I have bought loads of clothes. So many that they don't all fit in my wardrobe!

I only have a few more pounds to go to get to my target weight. I bought lots of new clothes the other day, so many in fact that they might not all fit in my wardrobe! Clothes look and fit so much better on me now.

I somehow managed to lose 4 pounds this week! I have no idea how as I have still been eating the same amount of calories. So pleased!

I get hungry a lot, but being on a diet I can't eat just anything. One thing I always like is air popped popcorn which is just corn kernels that you pop yourself at home, which doesn't contain any fats unless you add them yourself. I spray a little FryLight better than butter spray on and sprinkle salt, cayenne, sugar or cinnamon on for a healthy low-calorie snack!

Can't believe it has been 6 months since I stopped smoking and started my diet! So glad I don't smoke anymore and feel better for losing the weight.

As I have lost quite a bit of weight, I decided to go clothes shopping as most of my clothes are falling off me as they are so big! I managed to buy lots of lovely new clothes, including a few new tops,skirts and dresses. I don't like clothes shopping, but I am glad I went.

I have always been a bit chubby since I was a child. I really want to get to an ideal weight so I started dieting on 1st February 2010. When I say dieting, I mean exercising and eating healthily. I have lost a lot of weight so far, and don't have too far to go to get to my target weight. The last time I dieted I was about 17 and I ended up getting very thin. I won't let that happen again though!
