Day 23 – this means only 1 week to go! I find myself wondering what’s going to happen when it’s all over. Half of me is going to miss the daily ritual of preparation, planning, being aware of everything I put in my mouth. The other half of me is thinking yippppeeee I’m not going to have to worry about anything anymore! Well, that’s not really true, I’m on a journey which I think is going to be a lifetime journey. Although I’ll be happy to ‘let go’ of my strict daily planning etc, this is a food journey that I will be on for the rest of my life.
My geneology is such that I need to be aware of what and how much I put in my mouth forever. Yes forever! Seems like a long time to me!! I come from a family of women (in my mother’s family line) that are big and beautiful. My mother was a size 8 when she was 18yo, size 18 when she was 29yo, and got up to a size 26 just before she passed away nearly 2 years ago at the age of 69 – seems way to young to die these days. If I want to live a long and healthy life, I know I need to keep my food intake under control, and I need to commit to a lifetime of activity. Having already lost 50kgs over the last 15 years or so, I know where I don’t want to sit on the weight barometer!
Today I picked up a book to help see me through my next phase when these 30 days are complete. Like, where to from here? What’s next? What happens when it’s over? Well I definitely think I need to get rid of my sugar addiction, so I found a book today while browsing in a bookshop (yes they have these in Sydney too!).
With my work in Sydney now complete, I’m pretty excited to have a day with my daughter in the city tomorrow, just shopping, lulling around, eating, taking in the sites, and maybe a Friday night bevi? Oh wait, is that allowed??????
trish is a real inspiration to me and all who follow her story, her will power her devotion to plastic surgery and her web site is awesome and so easy to read and understand …xxx
U look amazing Trish xx
