I've decided to make GREEN TEA my drink of choice and limit the decaff and hot chocolate to 1 cup each a day. I still weigh 13 st 9 but yesterday I was 13st 11 and 3/4 so hopefully the thing about GREEN TEA speeding up metabolism and making you burn fat is true? The hormonal highs and lows are getting rather boring and tiresome now, (like having inner demons that you can't control), so someone told me to treat them as the enemy and fight the little b*ggers, so that is what I'm going to do......use mind of matter to stop the moods caused by the hormonal ups and downs and stop the downward spiral into depression and despair.
I've found putting the earphones in and listening to some music with a sleepmask on a really good way of relaxing. Four tracks in particular that help are from a brilliant film called JODHAA AKBAR, shortly to be released on dvd. I really recommend these tracks to chill out to and when you know what context they are taken from in the film you will definately derive more benefit from them. Give them a try, if your not used to songs from Hindi films listen to them a few times and you hear how beautiful they are.
on the scales still weigh 13st 9 but feel fine. Just goes to show how fluctuations in hormone levels can affect your mood and attitude to how you see yourself and how you feel about yourself. Last week I was so low I could have walked away from it all, today my mood is fine and I've no food cravings whatsoever.
I'm convinced a lot of women are diagnosed with depression and prescribed medication they probably don't need when in fact they're feeling how they feel because of wild fluctuation in hormone levels and this hasn't been looked into properly before they're handed a prescription. I speak from personal experience.
at a picture I took of myself on my mobile whilst walking family dog in the park. I have never looked so un feminine or repulsive in all my life and it was a big motivation to kick myself up the proverbial. Haven't weighed myself since last blog entry so watch this space tomorrow.....
ps if you're feeling low and need a really romantic film to console yourself with I seriously recommend a film called Parineeta (full film can be viewed in clips on youtube with subtitles, type in hui mein parineeta for a taster.).
I still weigh 13st 9. Had an awful migraine last night and was terribly sick in a bucket. This has happened before and seems to come on for no reason that I think of. Anyway I'm working all weekend so won't have time to have a headache. Have a really good weekend everyone x.x..x
