Hi David im just wondering about milk i can only drink soymilk i have tried to drink no fat and evey milk on the market it does not agree with me i cough and feel unwell. I drink Vitasoy soy milky lite is this going to undo my no sugar eating as i was on no sugar for 3 weeks then had surgery to have tonsills out everything i had to eat in Hospital in Brisbane was custard, strawberry big m, pineapplejuice, and icecream.... I had no choice i had to eat sugar again otherwise i was not going to be let out of Hospital . I felt at age 41 i would have a choice of what i wanted to eat, but i was told this was the menu for me and that was that. Grrrr sooooo now im back to the start. i have 40 kilos to lose i am back to Gym 4 days a week as of tomorrow Monday 7/9/2010 ... So i bet everyone will be wondering wow 40 kilos is a lot to lose ... YES it is i was always 67 kilos and a competitive power lifter for 10 years. We moved to Queensland 13 yrs ago and i started to get Asthma and allergies with that came large doses of steroids and then weight i would lose some then gain heaps more. I think this would have to be the most emotional 10 years of my life . So from 67 kilos to my heaviest 116 kilos ....WOW IM HEAR BEARING MY SOUL ...I am a strong willed person i own and opperate 2 Businesses so im not lazy .... but seeing 40 kilos to lose makes me freeze with fear ....I have never had to go on diets .... SOOOOOO here goes to me getting this weight off once and for all any ideas i would be more than happy to take on board Regards Anna (closes eyes and presses enter) SEEEEEENT...!! sorry i posted this in Addiction section also ...
Hi Anna
You have taken the first biggest step by saying it out loud. I found it dosen't seem so huge and defeating if you take small step for your goals. 40 sounds alot so try for 5-10. THen try for the next 10. It is how cricketers bat. They never say they want a centurary the first step is 10 runs then the next ten and so on. Remember it took 10 years to go on so even if it takes 10 to take off it is still off and even small reductions or plateaus is not putting on.
Good luck
