Hello,
I have started this thread so I can track my transformation and read back over it in when I am slim and trim once again.
I suppose if anyone is reading this you might be thinking. : who is Tara whats her story" well here it is I will give you a short version as there are a few boring bits.
I grew up in a little country town in northern Victoria. Life was normal and I was always a skinny kid and my Nan had to put elastic in all my pants just to keep them up. Throughout high shcool I was still skinny and my weight
was a 12 when I finished year 12 . Anyway I left Rottenvale and moved an hour away to do a course at TAFE designing and making wedding dresses,. My whole social life revolved around socialising with mates. Along the way I meet Will, well you can guess what happened, We both enjoyed dining out and a few bottles of wine a few nights per week. A few months later we were engaged and I was still a size 12. I love to cook and the more complicated the better, so as they say a way to a mans heart is thru his stomach. I became his personal chef anything he felt liked I would cook.
So I cooked a goumet meal most nights a week, anything I felt like cooking I did and slowly the portion sizes got bigger. I knew they were getting bigger, any visitors would always say they ate way to much but it was so delicous. Anyway we got married ( in a dress I designed and made) and I was still a size 12 but edging on a 14, Over the next few years we moved with my husband job and I had two boys, first Thomas ( now 8) and Angus ( now 6) I had liver problems with both boys and nearly lost both of them, I was told whle I was in hospital I would proberly get gall stones as I had liver problems. I didnt really know what that was until 12 months late and "ouch" I felt like i was giving birth all over again. The Dr. put me one a low fat/ no fat diet while I waited to have my gall baldder removed. I lost 6 kg and felt great. As I was recovering from that operation they told me my body might be abale to tolerate fatty foods as i had no gall bladder bile to break it down. I remember for the first few months after the operation every time i put something fatty in my mouth it felt like slime, but slowly I got used to it again. I didnt get used to have ruuny poo as the fat runs straight thru me. Sounds gross but you learn to live with going to the toilet at a moments notice and at least 2 times per day. Slowly my weight crept to a 16. and along the way we decided to stop moving and settle. Last year I decied to have a tummy tuck as I had a "apron " Having the kids gave me the worst stretch mark ever, and when I compared them with others I always won.
A big overhang of streched skin that never moved no matter what I did. Now the rest was up to me, My little sister did the Cohens diet last year and she look great, so here I am living in a shed while we wait to build our house, while is sounds like a garden shed its actually set up like a little holidy unit, with compact kitchen and a bathroom tec... split system air con/heating and a plasma.
So thats me and the short version of how I made way here. Lots of little thinks that made a big me.
My starting weight 85.9kg my goal weight is 63kg. It seems an impossible task at the moment but I will get there
Kisses
Tara
p.s. While I was a size 12 I never thought of myself as slim or fat just normal. But I never dared wear anything too short or skimpy, now I look around and see alot of people of all shapes and sizes wearing alot less and I wished I had the guts to wear a mini skirt back then. I might make it a goal to fit back into one, but are they still in fashion. I will have to promise my kids I wont walk up the street in one as that would more than they can handle of " crazy mum"
Tuesday is weigh in day and I have lost 2.1kg in my first week.
How do I get my ticker on here?
