I’m guest posting at Mademoiselle Slimalicious,
retelling the story of how I got motivated to lose weight after moving to
France. Mademoiselle Slimalicious is
French and lives in Australia and has some great tips on weight loss the French
way, so do pop over to her website and have a browse. I’m sure you’ll find some good tips there and interesting interviews with
Mireille Guiliano, author of “French Women Don’t Get Fat” and Sally Asher, author of “Losing It in France”.
It’s 14 months on
now from when I first decided enough is enough and so I thought it would be
interesting to review how I’m feeling about my weight now. Well, the winter is always the hardest time
for me (and just about every other woman I know), so I have gained a few
pounds, but am still 1 ½ stone lighter than I was in January 2011 and I’m happy
with that.
My attitudes to
food have changed for good. The
emphasis now is far more on eating healthily.
I do indulge myself occasionally, but if I have a treat of a cake or
something, I’ll make sure to cut back on something else the next day to make up
for it. I’m aiming to have 1 week a
month where I’m stricter with myself which helps to keep me on track.
