So one side effect from eating for my MS is that you loose weight.
I thought it would stabilize once i started getting used to what I can and can't eat, but I'm still plummeting. I'm not complaining though ;-)!
Ha.. so I'm opening up to you guys now!
I am ca 181 cm tall (yes I am a Swedish giant) and about a year ago I weighed approximately 75 kg. Which isn't loads, and I had just had a baby 6 months prior. But I was on a trip with my sisters and thanks to their own weight goals(or should I say HEALTH goals) I started joining them in their quest. I started taking long walks (like 10 km) daily, and started watching what I ate. And I lost about 6 kg over the course of 6 months. So I was down to 69 kg which I was super chuffed with. I was also happy with how long it took, I was changing food habits and it showed on the scales and in my clothes.
But then I couldn't get any further. And I felt like I had another 3 kg to loose to get back to my former jeans. But I wasn't complaining. I was quite happy with the weight i had lost and how much more healthy I felt.
SO
If I felt healthy then, GUESS what I feel now?!?!? A health FREAK is what!!! ;-D
I'm now down to 66 kg and the thought that I will never again yoyo in levels of healthiness is a great feeling. AND THATS THANKS TO EATING FOR MY HEALTH AND NOT TO LOOSE WEIGHT.... sorry for shouting ;-)... But it's quite an important difference. I'm no longer body conscious out of a weight perspective because it's not important the way my health is. I'm eating to make sure I'm getting all the nutrients my body needs. And that is huge.
So here is my before and after pictures. The before is from maybe 4 months after my second baby. and the after was from about 2 weeks ago. and yes, a lot of weight was probably in the hair :-D!!!
So excuse the rant, but I felt like documenting that "side effect" as well as the negative ones ;-)!
Here's to positive thinking ;-)!
