Kathrynoh wrote a post today that got me thinking about honesty (on a tangent). Have I been honest? I'd like to think that I'm an honest person but I am known not to share all my thoughts for whatever reason. So I may not be dishonest but I am reserved in what I write on my blog.
For the most part, you don't need to know every private detail of what I think, feel and do but I have realised that I haven't spoken about my actual weight lately and my weight is the subject that got me blogging in the first place.
Oh...and can you tell I'm on holidays? I haven't been able to spend this much time blogging in months!
So this is it. I've been eating like a greedy pig. Plain and simple. Burgers, chips, chocolates, coke...it is actually making me feel literally sick in the stomach but I've succumbed to the bullshit I tell myself of "I can't help it, I don't know why, I will stop tomorrow" and do I, nope. There's no other reason than pure laziness so I exercise more to compensate. How stoopid is that and even contradictory!? I exercise more to eat more.
So here are the stats.
Healthy Weight Range (178cm): 79-63kg
WW Goal Weight: 75kg
Ideal Goal Weight: 70kg
Current Weight: 76.6kg
Obviously, I am in the Healthy Weight Range but being at the heavier end of the scale has not been ideal for me. I feel heavy and that could be more from all the bad eating and side effects. My clothes are also tight. I was sitting on a nice 73kg for most of 2006 and that felt great. Ideally I would like to sit on 70kg but I'm not mental about it.
So what's a few kilos? I know. Some people need to lose 60kg and I'm quibbling about a couple. I just thought I'd share this after a year of maintaining succesfully because the brain stuff still continues to mess with me but much much less these days. It's not always easy to be good so it's important for me to be able to catch myself out before the extra couple of kilos become another 10, 20, 30 extra. I need to be a little more vigilant.
Bring on the 10 day vegetarian detox! I start this coming Monday 8th January. It's hideously expensive (and I'm not entirely convinced) but I need a rude shock to wake myself up from this gluttony of late and get back on track. I'll let you know what I think of the program and if I think it was worth it. Remember, different strokes for different folks!

It is a good idea to get back on track before it gets out of hand Mary. I totally agree with you.
I haven't been too bad with food, but my wine consumption is another story. Thanks for the wake-up call!
It's awful how fast those kilos come back - they get all homesick around Christmas time!
I could never do a detox - as soon as I start restricting myself, I get all rebellious and eat more but can't wait to heard how it goes for you.
i am so happy for you, the eat fit food detox is going to be so delish! i wish i could afford it... you will be glowing in no time :)
The detox will certainly get you back on track with your eating. Good luck with it.
a detox works physically and mentally sometimes - good luck with it
and happy new year!
that detox sounds like a great idea, it may be pricey but your body is worth it. Cant wait to see how you get on :)
hugs & health to you luvly xox
Whether it's 60 kilos or three kilos, the big thing is facing up to the fact you're not happy with how you feel - then doing something about it. Good on you Mary, I'll be interested to hear about the detox.
Good on you gorgeous for your honesty. I am feeling the same as you at the moment. A few kilos have creeped on, I knew what I was doing was unhealthy food wise but did it none the less.
Love to hear how the Eat Fit Food goes.
Cheers
I think I'm in a similar position, I just got too complacent where I was at. I hope you get a lot out of the detox, let us know how you go and if it's worth the $$$.
Good luck hun! Not easy to get on track huh. At least you are doing it with a couple of kilos instead of allowing 20 to creep on like I did.
A few days being strict and you'll be back in your saddle quite comfortably instead of hanging around your horses neck :P
I hope 2007 brings lots of magic for you Mary
I know exactly how you feel - good luck with the detox !
Take care.
Me
Oh man, I could have written this post! I'm not sure how much I've gained over Christmas - too scared to look! But I have spent the past two days eating well, no chocolate, no icecream, no junk - just yoghurt, fruit, salad, pasta, heaps of water and the occasional coke zero - and I feel so much better, like a balloon that's been deflated! It only takes a few days of being really brutal to get back to normal!!
Good luck with the detox darls xxoxo
PS: I wish you were on holidays more often! It's so much fun to have heaps of posts from you to read!
