Topic: Fat Mum Posted: 09 January 2010 at 12:57pm |
Hi Ladies. I'm a regular here, but I have created an an anonymous name for the purpose of posting my blog that I thought some of you might be interested in.. It has just started in terms of what is there now, and I don't officially start my task of cutting out the junk food until Monday. That is when I will post my current weight and photo (without a head of course).. I don't feel like I'm ready to reveal my stats with people yet...even if they can see it for themselves somewhat.
I'm so embarassed about my weight (even my own husband doesn't know how much I weigh!)..and I know some people here irl that could pass on the information by accident. Wouldn't want that!!! lol I'd rather he just see the end result before I admit how heavy I have become.
In fact, if anyone else here wants to anonymously get involved in the blog by trying to lose weight/posting photos along side me that's cool too. All comments are welcome on the blog.
Anyway, if you figure out who I am please keep it to yourself or I might have to sit on you!
So please check it out.. Maybe you can relate? Fatmum Blog

Good for you, I don't need to disguise my identity to admit that I am fat and need to do something about it.
I'm trying to be come a mum and have finally admitted to myself that I am obese and this is most likely the reason I'm not getting pregnant.
Good Luck with your journey, my husband has no idea about my weight either but he has eyes and can see for himself that I'm not healthy.
I am pleased to say it is now the 9th day of the year and I haven't had any McDonalds my aim is to go the whole year without it.

Mrsg1 same here. I have decided (was between xmas and NY that I decided this, and have stuck to it so far!) that I am NOT buying any more chips/biscuits/cakes etc and that way if they arent in the house, I wont eat them! My 'fat clothes' from prior to losing weight just before getting preg with Jae are getting tight on me, and I cant afford more fat clothes, so I am going to work on losing weight so I can wear my old 'normal' clothes again (plus, not buying all that junk is going to save me some $ anyways!)
I will however, allow myself a treat when I go out for lunch/ coffee etc, cos I dont want to go cold turkey on the nice things otherwise I will just obsess until I do something really silly and ruin the hard work!
Best of luck fatmum (feel mean calling you that though!) and I will be following your progress!

Oops sorry Deb  And Liz hehehehe
Actually all of you ladies on here I don't mind knowing who I am, but since there are a couple of members here that have links to DH, that's my only thing... Also, I don't really want people to refer to me by my real name on the blog (which tends to happen when you know the person).. A bunch of you are also friends of mine on facebook...but I won't be mentioning the blog there.
Soooo.. if any of you really do want to join in and also be anonymous-yet-public slimmers (or not, if you prefer for people to know who you are).. I can always add your photo and weight to your own progress page if you want? It's starting Monday!
I just figure it's easier to stick to something like this (notice I always avoid the word diet).. when you have other people you are reporting to in terms of your weight loss/gain.

I just wanted to wish you all the best  I have been where you have been and I commend you for putting it up here.
I was almost 90kgs about 5 years ago. I was eating sausages and bread for lunch, pies, biscuits! When I saw photos of myself after my daughters christening I decided it was time to do something. I managed to get down to 55kgs and have pretty much stayed around the same weight since then. It was hard work getting there! But I always remember going into a clothing shop and asking the lady for a size 8 (I was a size 18) and it felt really good!
Hang in there, it will be worth it at the end, I promise!

Way to go Fatmum! I too have firmly decided to make a drastic change in my life. I'm sick of the way I look and the way I feel - fat. ugly & unhealthy!
Also, as my girl is getting older I've realised that I want to lead by example with eating & exercise. I realised I make all her food from scratch, always picking the healthy option, all the while going for the packet of choccie biscuits for myself
I haven't cut everything out, but watch my portion sizes (only eating off a small plate, which is chocka block  ) drinking atleast 2L of water a day and getting up and doing a long walk every morning. I have already noticed the difference in my energy levels & moods (DH has too  )
Anyway, good luck to you, which I'm sure you won't need at all!
Let's make 2010 our year!

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and thanks for wanting to follow.. I think knowing there are people watching me will motivate me even more not to give up :)
mrsg1: Nice work avoiding the McD's! Good luck with your journey too!
MamaPickle: I probably would consider myself more of a chicken since I won't even blog with my real name lol Thanks though
kaiz231: That is fantastic! Congratulations for keeping it off so for long too! Also.. I have seen you, and you look amazing!! That is definitely a motivating thing to know as I am about the same weight now with my awesome all-crap diet lol

Well its not me .. so you can cross me off the list....
And im too lazy to do the anonymous thing, the cropping the head out seems like too much hard work to me (hence the reason my weight loss blog has my face on all the pics)
Good luck .. a weight loss blog is a great idea, it works for me knowing Im going to strip down and show my fat bits.
