This will have to continue later

After more than 2 months of disciplined eating and watching every food morsel I eat, and wondering why I have not been able to lose weight despite all that, the reasons are now clear and therefore, this blog will just have to be updated once this episode of my life ends with a new addition to the family (I pray). Life is indeed a roller-coaster, you just have to ride it....

4. Stick to green apples, oranges, dragon fruit and star fruit.

My will is waning......I must come back!

Managing my wants

I have lost 8kg since August. From my heaviest point even though from the point I joined the slimming spa I have lost only 4kg.

Today, I ate right except for the 4 pieces of peanut brittle coated with sugar and a chocolate covered biscuit from Marks and Spencer.

My craving for sweets is my weakness! I need new inspiration to continue!
