Mummy Chronicles ~ Do These Fad Diets Really Work???

Well yes they do especially when you stick to them as instructed. I learned the hard way, A couple of weeks back I was online and doing the usual, you know browsing on Linda Ikeji whipping past the politically inclined paid for posts and slowing sown at the more scintillating bit of gos ;). And lo and behold, what did i stumble across...

Fabslimtox, well that's what she calls it. there was a picture of an obese woman who had now become svelte, it was obvious that these pictures hadn't been touched up, there was no standing in the same spot in the same outfit. These were real life pictures. I continued reading, if you're looking to lose weight and you've got determination and the will to lose weight. take a gander fabslimtoxdiet.blogspot.com. I read it and I was sold, i consulted with my Yummy Mummy Snap back group and they all protested and advised me not to go ahead with it as I could eat clean, how does one do that I asked, google it. In my mind I was like ain't nobody got time for that!!!

Anyways I got in touch with Ife, the fabslimtox lady and then I went to see her, I found the address its in Victoria Island, sat with her and thought to myself wait hang on whats going on, she saw the look on my face and was like "Relax, I'm pregnant', "oh haha" I said, 'I already, knew that" yeah right, like I really didn't want a wasted journey!!!
Ife explained it all to me and added me onto one of her 4 brand new blackberries, the demand was astronomical after the article that was placed on Linda Ikeji. She sent me instructions on how to start and how to go about it. I thought to myself, I'll start next week. I'm good to go, I remember driving home and thinking to myself hmm I can see my body now, after I've lost the weight, 12 - 14 kgs expected weight loss. I was going to start the week after I got it, but then a lovely viewer made a comment on one of the episodes of the show I'm hosting at the moment "Is Misi pregnant, cause she looks quite full, full is good"

 read more after the jump.

Nothing to motivate a non pregnant woman as fast as telling her she looks pregnant, I proceeded to start the next day. 

It tastes pretty ok, but heres the thing you must have the resolve to carry it out. it was supposed to last 14 days or it could last for 12 if you had the juice, 3 times a day. I completed the task, there was a great support system as there was a group created of women who were embarking on the exact same journey. 

I started, went to a wedding on the third day and i cheated badly and i then thought to myself i can start again. I did, but heres where my problem lay, I kept cheating. I'd justify it saying its only one piece of chicken, its protein, its fine. Well you know what, no it wasn't fine cause you know what happened? I only lost 3kg's, and there were women in the group going on about' I've hit day 7 and I'm down 7.5kgs'. I'm very disappointed with myself, very, cause I know one thing about myself is that I always try and justify whatever I do and I never have regrets, I don't regret this, its just made me realise that No guts, No glory, No pain No Gain. And there you have it. I'm staring all over again.

 Oh btw, I got a trainer, hes fantastic, Combines everything from yoga  to insanity to cardio and does at a pace that suits me, It actually got me wanting to work out even more.
