About me, being fat...
My obesity has to do with a condition I suffer from, PCOS. It's not likely to be the
only reason to it, but there is a clear connection.
Right now I'm receiving treatment to become pregnant.
I Will ask my doctor and midwife if I can be on some sort of diet (NB! NOT banting - diet!!)
while I'm pregnant and let the child(ren??) grow of my overweight, but I don't think I'll be
allowed to do anything other than skip out on "junk food" and snacks & candy.
I'm rather short, 156 cm ( approx. 5 feet and an inch), and last time I checked (October 21st)
I weighed 82,2 kg (approx. 182,6 lbs).
I think it's reasonable to assume I'll gain almost 8 kilos (approx. 17,7 lbs) during the
pregnancy (that's what I gained during the time I was pregnant with Jamettiz), which will take
me up to 90 kilos (200 lbs).
If I manage to get pregnant this month I'll probably give birth in August 1999.
When I've given birth I will be 27 and a few months. In my mind I have the idea that after I've
given birth I will try to lose between 50 and 35 kilos (between 111 and 78 lbs) till I turn 30
(in June, 2002). That would give me at least 2 and a half, maybe almost 3 years to acheive it,
which I find very reasonable.
I've heard somewhere that a weightloss of 2-2 and a half kilo/month (4 and a half -5 and a half
lbs/month) is a slow enough and good pace to lose weight.
Say I get 30 months to lose weight before I turn 30, and that will hopefully be counting low.
Even if I only lose 2 kilos/month that would give a weightloss of 60 kilos.
Considering there is likely to be periods when I stand still, and don't lose weight, I'm not
likely to actually lose 60 kilos, and that is just fine! I can lose enough weight in a
forseeable time!
If I gain some muscles in the process I don't think I will reach much under 55 kilos (122 lbs),
since muscles weigh more than fat.
