Unfortunately this will be no vogue-esque photoshoot. Instead, tomorrow is the day that I am taking my "before" pictures before I embark upon my weight loss adventure. So tomorrow there will be some photos a-la Clare Nasir appearing on this blog...maybe without the lime green bikini though!
Whilst 3.5 stone (that's 49lbs) is my target weight loss to take me smack bang in the middle of my recommended BMI, I know that is going to be hard. The pictures, and also measurements, will hopefully encourage me when the scales aren't so kind. There will be new photos each week and hopefully as the blog gains more posts, I'll lose pounds.
In the February edition of the UK Cosmopolitan magazine they gave away Neris and India's Idiot-Proof Diet: A Weight-Loss Plan for Real Women which gave me the idea to photograph my progress. If anyone is trying to lose weight I would definitely recommend this book. The first half gives great advice and really helps you understand your eating habits and exactly why you eat too much. The second half is the actual diet which, in my opinion, is not so great. It is essentially a spin off of the Atkins diet and encourages a low carb way of living for the rest of your life, which is not something I necessarily agree with. In the words of Nigella, "Everything in moderation"! However, the advice that the authors give and their witty writing style makes this book worth buying anyway, it definitely spurred me on.
Tomorrow I will wake up and know that this is the biggest I am ever going to be (hopefully) forever.
