So I skipped a day. The reason for that was the devouring of choco and candy Friday night. I had received bad news on the same day, I was sick of being tired, sad and alone all the time so I cracked. Didn't make me feel better at all.
So yesterday I didn't eat anything because I was disgusted with myself.
I think I'm going thru a depression here..
11.2. 68,3kg
I've been really tired lately. Padawan has gone on strike since yesterday and I just keep gaining weight :/ Pretty depressing if you ask me... Well, I'll just have to continue and wish for the best. Just keep believing..

I blame this on monthly troubles.
Otherwise Padawan has behaved the last few days.

27.01. 68,7kg
Oh the disappointment.........

26.01. ?
Due to fatigue, I started a cure of Gerimax (vitamins+iron+other good stuff for you). I started to feel better but Padawan went on strike. Since Saturday, NOTHING. I tried drinking +2L of water every day, I drank tea for digestion+elimination, I drank coffee, Coke.. NADA.
And today since I was frustrated of Padawan's lack of work (I actually sensed that he REALLY wanted to work, it's just that he couldn't) I decided not to take that pretty large brown pill.
And boy did Padawan run free at work. I think he tried to make up for the 3 days of silence.
If tomorrow I haven't lost 4kgs, I'm going to cry ;D

22.01. 68,8kg

Padawan decided to make room for new grub....

21.01. 68,5kg

Padawan decided to be nice to me today. :)

Well what do you know.
After a good start (n 2) I weighed myself this morning and what do you know, I had lost 2,7 kgs. Spiffy ! :D
We are back in business !!!

11.01. 72kg

Worst day ever, I weighed myself.... +3,5kgs...

Sucks ass...........................................................................................................................................

I was quite depressed... I must take a hold of myself. I must.

Here we go again !!

04.01.2011

Ok, the bloatiness is over :)
I still haven't weighed myself (I wouldn't be surprised if I had gained weight, dunno why, just feel like it) and I won't before Thursday.
Thursday is going to be magical. I'm going to eat ANYTHING I want. It's my birthday :)
I'll keep you posted.
Oh, Somatoline is nice. Dunno if it really does something, but I like it.

28.12.

I feel bloated all over.
Either it's all the salty salmon I've eaten or the other salty dishes, the coming of my period or the start of a pregnancy. I really don't like the latter option. I find my belly huuuge.
meh.
Oh, and today I applied the Night cream and for the first time, it really burned on my skin until it was all red and itchy. :D I applied it again tonight and nothing. I wonder why.. hmm..
I won't even think of weighing myself until next year.

24.12.

Ah, Christmas. The time to eat until you are ready to pop and then switch to gobble all the chocolates you can find until you obtain the ultimate level : Ähky.
Well that means my Christmas is ruined.. Or maybe not...

I prepared my dessert, Napolitaine in French. It's this kind of cake with chocolate and vanilla layers.
I hope it'll look as good as it tasted when I was making it.. I'd hate to have to be asked if it were any good.
So on the menu: Kangaroo, salty carotte+mushroom cake and napolitaine for dessert.
Tomorrow it's salmon, turkey, veggies and the rest of the napolitaine. Miam. A feast !
I should take pics.. Yeah, I should :D

17.12. 68,5 kg

16.12. 68,7 kg

Today I weighed myself (I seldom do it since I find it silly to weigh yourself often [oh I have stories to tell about Frenchies following Dukan and how they are going out of their minds because of their need to lose like 1kg per week]). I was happy to see that I'm now in the 68s. I still have quite a lot to lose but if it keeps going down, might as well stick with the diet.
I know it says I want to weigh 60kgs which is not true. I could never weigh that little. You'd have to cut off a leg first. Since I'm not sure at what weight I should stop, I'll stop when I decide my reflection isn't portraying the Michelin Man. Kidding, kidding. :) What I want to lose is my love-handles, tummy and thighs. Boobies are long gone, and I've started to see veins in my fore-arms that I hadn't noticed before. I do a lot of manual work, which makes my veins "pop out", so to speak. I also have very fair and fine skin so the blue comes out nicely. Sometimes I just stop and stare at my arms. I find it facinating.
Anyways.
I've been using somatoline for 2 days now. I was a bit disappointed since in the notice it was said that the Night cream was supposed to heat up once applied on the skin. NADA. My skin must be dead.
Otherwise I find the fragrance quite nice and it penetrates easily. The skin is left soft and silky. Mm. :)
Same thing with the Day cream. Nothing to add.

14.12.
Yes!
I finally received the creams I had ordered !
The brand is called Somatoline and it's supposed to work miracles on your body.
First of all, I don't believe in miracles and second of all, I don't believe in creams (yes, I'm a beautician).

But this cream apparently is used in hospitals on obese people. Sounds dreamy huh?
Its the beauty secret of Italian women and I have a few friends that've used it with results.
So I thought I'd try it out.
The only thing; it costs la peau du cul. In pharmacie you'll find it for 45€. Me being the Scrooge I am, I refuse to pay too much for quality stuff.
So I surf the internet ! :)
I managed to find it at a reasonable price and after a week's wait, finally received them.
Now I just have to see if they work :D I'll keep you posted ;)

Oh and Olivier gave me compliment the day before (yesterday he just made me furious but I won't bother you with it). He told me that with Dukan, I look thinner now compared to the time when I was at the same weight with Paleo. It's true. It's weird. I weight the same yet I don't look the same. I fit in clothes I didn't fit in when following Paleo.
Bizarre.

12.12.2010 69 kg
Me and my never ending struggle to lose weight.

This guy explains the diet more than well and is quite inspirational  :
http://blogs.howstuffworks.com/2010/04/21/how-the-dukan-diet-works-the-french-diet-that-is-supposed-to-end-the-obesity-epidemic/

I think I started gaining weight when things started going to hell at school. I was left alone and had to find replacements for friends. I found paper, markers, computer games, food and way too much free time.
After I few years, Lady Luck decided to send me happiness. I found it in two people, Ann-Mi and Peter with whom I shared the passion for drawing, Monkey Island and geekiness.
Since then the distance between us has grown but my friendship for them has never faltered.

So, I have never been obese, never really FAT since I prefer the expression Big-Boned :D
For as long as I remember I've been a size 40/42/Large for 1m72. I once managed to lose quite a lot of weight (I went down to 68 kgs) with the help of the Paleo Diet combined with jujitsu.
I then gained all back and at the very heaviest I weighed ~80kgs.
The fact that I hated myself didn't help.

Anyways.
When I met Olivier, I weighed 78kgs. Long into our relationship, I decided to retry the Paleo Diet.
In the duration of 1 year I lost almost 10 kgs. I regained 7kgs and started the Dukan Diet.
I've been on that diet for almost 3 months now and I've lost 6 kgs. I still have a long way to go. :)
I think I'll start adding more posts about my struggles, it might help me cope :D
