I need a miracle!



Getting close to 90kg's was the breaking point, long overdue, but now necessary as I am not prepared to be overweight when I turn 30! I am dizzy from the amount of yo-yo-ing I have experienced in my weight. In the past year I have fluctuated by around 6kgs.

I have been living in Dubai now for 1 year and am surrounded by beautiful people, gym bunnies and lots of humans whose job it is seems only to be drop dead gorgeous! In another direction I step out of my front door into a sea of the most outstanding restaurants, scrumptious cafes, spectacular bars and classy bistros. If I am not eating out with friends, I am socialising with colleagues and both of those occasions usually involve more than a couple glasses of wines, perhaps a bottle of vodka and a shot of sambuca or 2 for good measure.

I am on a mission to get my 18 year old figure back and at 26 I feel that this is a mission that is totally possible. At 18, I slipped a disc in my back that went undiagnosed for 4 years and in this 4 years, as I slowed down due to immobility and pain, over ate feeling sorry for myself - I gained nearly 4 stone.

Now I am a 89kg and am writing this blog in an effort to monitor my success and keep me on track to reach that goal - realistically I need to lose 20kg to be within my BMI range.

3 main factors will have a bearing on the how quickly I can achieve this goal.

What I am eating, how much booze I am drinking and the exercise I am doing.

Let's get on with it ...
