Weight loss secrets

[Lisa Williams]

As women, having babies changes our lives in more ways than one, yes we now have precious bundles and we now have a new body shape to dress. Many women I have spoke to (and myself included) have struggled with 'baby fat', the extra pounds we put on during pregnancy that just won't go away. I have found a little secret that I am happy to share, it worked for me and I expect it will work for others as well. I used to avoid mirrors because I didn't like seeing the extra pounds I was carrying. I went so far as to dress in loose fitting larger-than-needed to hide the weight. What I didn't realize is those clothes made me feel worse. I didn't want to purchase clothes that fit me at the time because I was planning on losing weight and it didn't make sense for me to spend money on clothes that wouldn't fit me. As time went on I found myself feeling less and less attractive and the vicious cycle continued to spin downward. Then the turning point came. I was talked into trying on an outfit that fit me perfectly at the time, I was shocked, not only looked good but I felt amazing in it. My first concern was I was accepting my size as okay and it would not longer be important to me to change it. What I discovered is the opposite, because I felt so good in that outfit my emotional state changed and I started dropping my weight. One outfit did that for me and today I have that outfit comfortably tucked away in a drawer where I can see it periodically. Looking at it doesn't remind me how big I was at the time, the only thoughts I have when I see it is how fabulous I looked in it. It was money well spent and it continues to give me that feel good feeling. I love how I look today, I went from a size 10/12 pant to a size 6/8 and I feel fabulous. For those of you that can identify with this story find hope and comfort in knowing the key to losing that baby fat includes sensible eating, exercise and a healthy state of mind. Start where you are right now, find that outfit that makes you feel amazing and go from there. If you would like help or motivation contact me; I am happy to help every woman that is ready to help themselves.
