Growing Outwards

When I started university in 2006 I was a size 6 and weighed just over 7 stone – tiny and unhealthy I know. I went from leading an extremely active lifestyle, riding my horse everyday, helping out on a farm, looking after an assortment of animals to living the “student” lifestyle and doing, well, not a lot!

Now, 3 ½ years later, I am over 10 ½ stone and hovering somewhere between a 12 and a 14. So in a bid to knock a few inches from my waist (and numerous other places) over the last few weeks I have cut the following from my diet:

Cheese
Bread
Pasta
Rice
Sugar (in tea especially)
Sweets/Cakes/Chocolate

So basically all of the good stuff!

I have been eating huge amounts of:

Apples
Broccoli
Cabbage
Grapes,
Spinach,
Carrots
Cauliflower
Cucumber
Garlic
Lettuce
Onions (anyone who knows me will realise how impressive this one is!)
Spinach
Turnip
Chicken

I feel like a totally different person.

I know that once I get to France and start being active again I will be able to eat what ever I want again, but I feel so good now that I’ve cut out so much crap I might try and stick to it!

Hope you had a nice weekend
