Measurements

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 23:11:35 +0100

So we just took measurements for ourselves and it's worse than I thought. Then again maybe it isn't.

I have thighs of 74.5cm, a bum of 126.5cm, a waist of 101cm, chest of 98cm, a bust of 116.25 and a belly of 117cm.

It's helped to answer some questions for me - things like why when I sit down I see more belly than boob lately. It has also given me a far more visual picture of myself than a weight in kilos or stone. I do not know whether it will help or not but so far so good in scaring me into acting on things!

Thoughts on weight loss

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 17:29:07 +0100

I've been thinking about loosing weight lots recently. I've had two friends lose dramatic amounts of weight just by being more careful with what they eat.

I have no intention of shrinking to Kate Moss size. For me it is sexier for a lady to have curves. As a lady who appreciates the female form I like small bums but I am far more of a fan of ladies who I can get my arms around and cuddle up close to.

My main wishes from this whole exercise are to eventually find myself at a size 14. That's two dress sizes. That's a fair few pounds. That's a whole lot less eating and drinking out. That's a whole lot less alcohol. That's a whole lot less chips.

A friend one said to me - it's pointless loosing weight for anyone other than yourself. You have to want to do it. After looking at myself in a mirror and not fitting my clothes properly I want to do it.

subtle hints...

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 13:15:54 +0100

Ahh the oh so subtle hints. A Trinny and Susannah book. An F Plan book. Both found their way into my Christmas stocking. It doesn't matter though as my mind has already been made.

While puffing and panting on a short walk earlier I thought to myself how there has to be more to life than this. I do not want to die an early death - short, fat and stumpy. I want to be more galmorous. I want to fit my clothes. I want to have a more positive body image.

A few more days then the diet begins.

Christmas day

Tue, 25 Dec 2007 17:35:07 +0100

Well Christmas dinner has finished with too much of everything. Too much turkey. Too much veg. Too much coffee. Too much alcohol. I feel bloated. I feel full. I feel ultimately happy. I feel chilled.

I look forward to the next few months and a return to a new and slimmer Sian. I look forward to less of these excesses. I look forward to feeling more positive about myself.

A week to go before the new regime starts.

A week to go before I starve lol.

My new year's diet...

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 15:52:42 +0100

This blog is to document my transformation from blob to svelte slim model. Okay, well maybe not that slim but slimmer than at present anyway!

Following on from Christmas I intend to loose some weight. Whilst I have never been the thinnest of people I have never been as large as I am at present. I am finding it slightly difficult being the size I am as I am less energetic than I was, my clothes don't fit and I feel achey too.

So, the post Christmas challenge is to go from a size 18 (almost 20) to eventually a size 14. I know this will take time but I am prepared to do it.

As a greyhound fanatic it is my intention to donate £1 for every 1lb I gain or lose to Hall Green RGT in a hope to both motivate myself and do some good for charity.

I will not be following any set diet just cutting back and being more healthy. I will be endeavouring to exercise more and have less chocolate, sweets and crisps.

We will see how it goes but I will aim to record my findings in here on a daily basis - whether that will happen or not I do not know!
