I don't believe in New Year resolutions, but this year I'm making an exception. I wouldn't really call it that way but now that I have a deadline, I have a strong motivation to control my over-eating tendencies and hopefully shed off a few pounds (and inches off my waist & hips). Which also means, I am also hoping to fit in my Medium size shirts and size 27 skirts.
I was so frustrated to find out that I wouldn't fit in that amazing top from Mango after having saved hard-earned cash... boohoo..
Yes..laugh out loud. Since I am now known for my voracious appetite, nobody believes I can diet.
Now to shell out P3200 bucks a month for gym membership is out of the question and the Atkins diet is like slow painful death. The Zone and South Beach diets are still far too difficult to maintain for a first-timer.
My diet plan is simple. First is to detox, Second, eat right i.e. eat less of everything (since I do eat too much of everything) and thirdly the most important of all, avoid sodas. This simple plan, for me is like hell. I would take anything with a Coke sign.
I have just started the 1st part of my program. Detox. The herbal tea that promised detoxification tasted like garden soil and the whole experience was comparable to my post natal prep enema. It drained out all waste, toxins including my energy for the whole day. There was a 48 hour feeling of running to the toilet. But it did get rid of excess flab from my bloated stomach.
Just to prove that I am capable of such a simple task, I did went thru a very strict low-sugar-low-carb diet. Never mind that I was at that time, 7 months pregnant. It was a diet of all wheat, fiber-rich food, fruits & meat. It was torture to my hormone-affected appetite. I turned away from my favorite instant grape juice, desserts and pastries, and P1.00 mini monay bread from our local panaderia. But my sugar level returned to normal in 2 weeks. Except my baby grew too large for a normal delivery.
The point being... if I could do that..I can do this..now...for a freaking wedding that I have to attend in 5 weeks...and yes..the top from Mango.
