65 by 25.

One of my friends has inspired me. She's decided she's not happy with her weight and has faced it publicly on her blog and already lost 5 kg, you go girl!

I've had a battle with my weight since 18. I go up, I go down, and I go back up again. I really think I've managed to completely screw my metabolism. But there is no room for excuses.

My aim is to weigh 65 kilo's by the time I'm 25. Which gives me just under a year to lose ~7kg.  This doesn't seem like that much. But the lightest I've been in the last 5 years is about 68kg and that didn't even last long.

How am I going to do it?
a) I will not buy chocolate (the only time I can is when I have a movie night with the boys cos they love their malteasers and popcorn- so i'll share the love and the fat ;-)
b) Try to eat unprocessed foods as much as possible
c) Exercise... I usually do 1.5 hrs exercise a day, so I don't really have time to add anymore to this... but I migh mix it up, by spending some of that in a gym doing weights rather than just walking and running.
d) Don't snack. Unless it's fruit.

I don't want to just get skinny. I want to be healthy, I want to eat healthy and treat my body right. Nutrition is my major. I know what I should and should not eat, yet often it doesn't affect what I do eat. I want people to be able to see how my knowledge of Nutrition affects my life! The biggest thing, is a dont want to be controlled by my appetite. I don't want to be trapped by an addiction to anything, chocolate or otherwise!

Okay that's about it. 

"...prepare you minds for action; be self-controlled; set you hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance" ~1Peter 1:13-14.

"For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love and of self-discipline" ~2 Timothy 1:7

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead it should be that of you inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight" 1 Peter 3: 3-4
