Ok, here's what happened.
I met for lunch -of course- with an old colleague of mine. She was impressed (and scared) of my weigh loss.
I told her I was okay, and that I was perfectly supervised by every kind of doctor.
And so the story began...
Several years ago, she lost about 100 pound approximately. Doing a supervised diet with a reknown doctor, who used her as his example of success story for his diet. So proud of her.
She then told me, she got scared of gaining the weigh all over again once she stopped dieting.
She became Anorexic and Bulimic.
She lost so much weigh and muscle, her heart was at risk. She had to eat special meals in order to recuperate a normal weigh, and then she went up, and down, and up and down the scale numbers.
I listened as we ate. And I was SO secure about my diet that I didn't payed so much attention. Until this week.
The fear became real. And I am now scared if this would happen to me. I mean, it's a real fear... there it is.
Obesity has become an epidemic, and thus Bulimia and Anorexia.
There's the fear of gaining weigh again.....and the fear has storaged in my brain.
Please don't worry so much about it. I went off PronoKal for one week when I went on my own holiday. I absolutely refused to continue whilst away, I just ate healthily instead. I stuck with lots of salads & protein and ate carbohydrates in the morning only - I even had a scoop of gelato one day! I didn't gain a pound while I was there. It is possible to maintain your weight when not on a diet as long as you eat sensibly and stop when you're full (even if there is food left on the plate).
ReplyDeleteWow.. just thinking of having Gelato makes me happy!!! You are completely right, We have to eat sensibly and just STOP. How are you doing girlie?
