Slimpod: Thoughts before the start


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 fiancĂ© – 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.




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?

  4. Good luck. I still think the only way to lose weight is to eat less and move more, so it will be interesting to see how you go - the yoga etc will help - when I stop exercising, despite eating well, I put on weight .... oh, and wine doesn't help either!

    1. Of course it all comes down to calories in vs calories out. Sometimes the mind just needs a little push to say to pop down that chocolate cake though :)

  5. I am with you boredom is my killer. That is whay I have decided that at least once an hour I will get up and do something, walk up and down the stairs 5 times, do the dishes, or whatever that gets me off my butt for 5 mins.
    I admire the photos, I took them but at the mo not sharing them. I am lucky I dont have a sweet tooth but my problem is food allergy issues that make healthy snacking a problem.

  7. You got this!!!

    Good luck in your efforts.

    I too have the biggest sweet tooth...I have found dark chocolate has helped me to be able to get a nibble and satisfy me as well.

    Can't wait to see your results! Good luck!

  8. Good luck! I can relate to the sweet tooth. I'm also an 'unconscious eater' so have tried to stop having snacks in the house--hard to do with two teenagers around, but I'm trying! I hope you have great success!

  9. Godlike with your weight loss journey. I also have a sweet tooth and am trying to cut back a bit this year. Mostly because my dentist bill is getting too big! x

  10. I eat so much but o am so good in trying to make healthy snacks instead of reaching for candies. I make a plate full of chopped cucumbers, red pepper, carrots, grapes, apples.


    Good luck and looking forward to see how it goes.

  12. I would be interested to see how you get on with this. I think it may help with positive thinking but at the end of the day you have to eat less and move more to lose weight.

  13. I used the slimpod last year, it was great. I have stopped 'dieting' and I also exercise 3 times a week and when I started last january I was a size 14 I have just been shopping in the sales and was able to buy size 10. I don't believe it was just slimpod, but it definitly gave me a kick start.
