Camilla's Journey from the Land of Obesity
I am 30 years old and was classified medically as 'morbidly obese'. This blog is about my journey to a healthier and fitter me, one who is happy in her own skin. I'm now classified as 'obese' - I still have some way to go though...

Delays....
So you're still sitting and staring at a blank screen? Me too.
I thought my new blog would be up and running by now but it's not. I guess I should have planned for teething problems. This us so new to me and the people I'm liaising with I barely know.
Rest assured though that my page will continue under a new name and a new look. There might even be some new goodies attached. Stay tuned and watch this space.... Oh and if you're a blog/web designer, please drop me a line :)

Confessions of this Diet Queen
I’m a diet queen. I have been on Jenny Craig, attempted
counting WW points, lost a lot on 12WBT, I’ve applied to be a contestant on
TBL, I’ve tried the Dukan diet, the Soho diet, the Soup diet, the Cabbage diet,
the laxative diet. Yep, I’ve been on this journey for quite some time, striving
for that elusive goal of happiness.
Did anyone else pick up on it?
I have been dieting to become happy. Do you see a problem
with this? Since when does weight make you ‘happy’. I know plenty of ‘larger
than life’ people who are very positive, and very happy and on the other end of
the scale, I also know some slim, very negative people who exist to bring
others down.
Weight doesn’t define happiness. It never has, it never
will.
Each time I go through a ‘phase’ which is all it has been up
until now, I’ve had my typical light bulb moment, where something has twigged
inside and spurred me on. I generally put weight back on, but usually not to my
starting weight.
This time, I think a rather large lightbulb has just come
on.
Losing weight alone will not make me happy.
I am in charge of my happiness. I need to become happy with
who I am, accept myself faults and all. Although I’m not 100% there, I now
understand the concept. Understanding the concept has been a major step in
regaining my ‘mojo’. As you would know from previous posts, my ‘mojo’ went MIA
some time back and I’ve been trying to find it ever since. Well, it’s back.
My trainer at bootcamp gave a really inspirational little
speech on Monday that rang very true for me – this was the second piece that
really kicked me into gear. Tash mentioned that even though we were all getting
fitter and better with our technique, we shouldn’t get lazy and let our
workouts become easy. If you get better at something, you can still push
yourself 110%. You should push yourself so that you feel like you did the very
first week of bootcamp. I was one of those ‘lazy’ people who was still working
at 90% because I thought it was that I was getting fitter – not that I’d found
my comfort level. So since then I’ve been upping the ante and pushing really
hard and I’m feeling it. I’ve had a drastic change in body shape this week, I’m
very exhausted, my appetite is down but I’m feeling fantastic (well, if you
ignore the being tired part).
On Saturday we have our 4 week weigh in and body fat
percentage assessment and for once, I can’t wait. I am certain I’ll be happy
with the results because I couldn’t train any harder than what I’ve done. I
couldn’t have eaten any cleaner than what I’ve done. This is my week, and I own
it.
Stay tuned on Saturday to find out how I went.
