My Spanish Dream Holiday Weight Loss Bikini Dream
As a close and happy family we really enjoyed our two week holiday in Ibiza to the full this year, I felt great, wearing a bikini in public, it was the first time in about five years that I have had the confidence to wear a bikini in public. Ever since the birth of our second daughter, just over 5 years ago, I have not been able to wear anything like this. There has been a couple of reasons for this, the first is the extra weight I put on whilst in pregnancy, far more this time than my first daughter, I have heard that this is common and plenty of women tend to carry extra weight whilst in there second or third pregnancy.
It is expected that a women will put on weight whilst pregnant but 3 or 4 months after the birth though, this is when it started to be an issue for me, this is when I felt I should of lost the extra weight (if only I had known about Strip That Fat at this time!) you see, my weight was still going up! Something my husband noticed and I refused to see, was that my eating habits were changing. It was very rare in the past that I would ever eat snacks between meals and my portion size at meal time was fairly small, also I would leave food on the plate as soon as I started to feel that full sensation.
Now things had changed, I was eating between meals, not much but enough though if you know what I mean. Two or 3 biscuits with a cup of coffee mid morning and a Snickers bar in the afternoon with a cup of tea. Now that does not sound excessive really, but it was something I never used to do before, also I never used to touch coffee, but a mug of black tea in the afternoon has always been a favourite with me!
Another modification to my eating habits my husband could see was at meal times and was simply this; I was putting more food on my plate, eating it faster and more importantly was the fact that I would now, never leave even a scrap of food on the plate any more. The mixture of the snack between meals and eating more at meal time is simple, more calories enter your body every day, more calories and energy than you need to maintain your body, the resulting product; weight gain!
My husband was never rude to me about my changing eating habits, he was simply responding to me and my questions about why can’t I lose weight.
My weight gain continued for several years after the birth of my second daughter, which resulted in to me growing in to quite a big girl, with the side effect to me of a lack of confidence and even Panic Attacks, you know the sort of thing, wearing baggy clothes, covering up as much as possible whilst out in public, if you have been there, you know just how it feels!
Anyway, about 18 months ago things changed big time for me, Julie, a friend of mine with the same weight problems tried a program called Strip That Fat, now she did not really think it was going to help at the time, but she gave it a try. Now this is the good bit of my blog, she got great results and started a steady, consistent but noticeable weight loss! There was nothing for it, I had to give the Strip That Fat program my best shot.
Stunning effects have happened to me too, which was great as over about 18 moths I have worked my way down to a size10, which gave me the confidence to wear the bikini this summer! Now I would recommend Strip That Fat to any women who feel they need to lose some weight, not only do you lose weight, but you change the way you relate to food, which is the only long term solution to weight problems.
Anyway, I must apologise as this post was meant to be about our holiday in Ibiza before I went of the subject and started rambling on about weight loss and my post natal eating habits. I will tell you about Ibiza real soon…
