Slimpod: Thoughts before the start

Week One Update =>

Its no secret that I'm trying to loose a bit of weight and get fit. For the last six months iv been going up and down on those pesky scales and so far have lost 16lb, having put 4lb back on over Christmas.

Iv came under fire in the past for stating that I wanted to loose the weight, plus models are meant to be curvy right? I think its important to remember that this body is mine and mine alone, just like yours belongs to you.

Almost everybody has one flaw or niggle they would like to change, be it there eye colour, there toe length or how fragile there nails are. My one big body hang up is my belly and its overhang.

Body positivity is exactly how it sounds, being positive about your body and living it for you. You can be body positive and want to loose weight. There is nothing positive living in a body that makes you sad. I mean don't get me wrong, my weight doesn't bother me (medically speaking it should) and if I could smooth out just my tummy I would. However life doesn't work that way (unless you have the cash to do it) so its an all or nothing deal.

My biggest issue with weight loss is the fact I'm a huge sweet tooth. The second I get a sniff of chocolate its wolfed down and as they say “A second on the lips, a lifetime on the hips”. Cakes, sweets, ice-cream – essentially anything loaded with sugar seems to find Its way into my mouth no mater how hard I try to stay on track.

I even go as far to make sure there is none of it in the house however my lovely fiancé – thinking he's doing good – takes home sweets and pizza as a reward for doing good so the cycle breaks down. I get fed up of eating a little green sad salad whilst his plates full of yummy chips and other goodies.

So when I was offered the chance to try out a weight loss program that did NOT involve changing what I eat, eating certain things or even any exercise it sounded like the perfect plan. Who wouldn't love sitting watching TV and letting the fat melt off? I know I would. The more I learnt about it the more perfect yet to perfect it seemed. Could I really loose weight listing to a podcast every night for 12 weeks? Well we are going to find out. Armed with my little Arc notebook with its new Success Log for the Gold Program of Slimpod I'm on a quest to shift this post-baby weight and get a body that I want.

“This is an holistic approach that means mind and body are working in harmony to help you lose weight easily and effectively.

Health professionals areincreasingly recognising the role the mind plays in weight loss buteverybody knows that’s the vital part that’s missing from dietsand eating plans. They tackle WHAT you eat but only a Slimpodchanges WHY you eat”

Sounds great doesn't it? Deep down I know I eat because I feel emotionally tied to it. When I'm bored I eat; when I'm sad, you guessed it, I eat. I eat junk that fills the gap created by emotions. I'm really looking forward to trying this approach to my weight loss and its not something iv ever came across before.

I am a bit worried however that it really will be 'to good to be true' but looking at all the other reviews I have high hopes.

Along with these listing tapes I'm going to be adding in my own exercise routine of yoga (find out why it helped change my mind) and walking/running to help melt off the pounds quicker. I'm also continuing to adopt my healthy lifestyle tips. At the moment I am on a liquid calorie diet (thanks toothache) so I'm hopping by the time I'm ready to eat solids again I wont be reaching for the junk but nibbling on a carrot instead. Perhaps that carrot will be in a cake, still healthy that way right?
