#cleanandfree

For the first time ever in my life, I had lost everything.. Money, Job and Home, I still had my kids and my ermm Health. well so I thought.  I was constantly ill, had a whopping pain in my side and started gaining weight dramatically, Chocolate was a friend, the crisps were my associates and I had ballooned to a whopping 12 stone. That's nothing when your 6 ft I am 5ft nothing... a mere oomph in your bang.

A million and two blood test later I found out I had N.A. L. F. D Non Alcoholic Liver Fat Disease. The Doctor told me either I lose the weight or I go under the knife.. Its been nearly a year, have i lost the weight YES! have I gained it back HELL YES!!  Recently I started feeling the symptoms again, The pain, the disorientation, the tiredness.. and I am sick of being sick.

Being in a girl group just makes it harder, working with slim bitches and being the fatty sista Just doesn't go down well. You would think it was motivation enough, your wrong. If your not ready to change, it just wont happen, yesterday I decided I want to change, I want to do that change, I want to lose that weight, I want to see me in the mirror, I don't want photo shop to correct who I am, I want to be happy with who I am. Some people are happy being chubby, some people hate being skinny. I just want to feel like me again before I have to lose half of my liver.

Over the year I have tried different diets, the heart bypass diet, the Atkins diet to name a few. They didn't work for me, they were not exciting enough and they were boring as hell.  So after hard core research I have decided not to do a diet, I have decided to change my current eating habit for a healthier option, I have decided to use words that change my perception without making it feel like a chore or a regulation. 

I will eat alkaline only foods for the next 3 weeks, I want to see a change in my health first and if I lose weight at the same time, which is the main goal considering the liver has fat and that is what needs to get lost.

The diet/dietary change emphasizes so-called alkaline foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, beans and lentils, which are believed to balance the body’s natural pH level, making it less acidic. In so doing, proponents contend you’ll have more energy, lose excess weight, boost immunity and fend off countless chronic diseases. (Taken from goggle alkaline search)

  So Saying that its gonna cost me in total about £95 pounds to get week one off to a great start.  I get money on Monday 8th of April so tis when I will start. 

  Part of that money goes towards a blender £ 24.95 and a gym member ship of £24.99  that's 50 gone and then my weekly shopping.. now it says, you have to do something 21 times for it to become a habit and 57 times to become a addict.. That's ask Jeeves.. Google said it can take anywhere between 7 to 21 days, Well my first seven days will be easier as I do not have to cook for the kids. I can imagine it, here kids here is your lovely roast dinner with all the trimmings pigs in blankets, Stuffing, Sausage stuffing, Streaky bacon over the biggest roast chicken in the world, goose fat roasted potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and vegetables dont forget chicken gravy made from fresh chicken stock... Then there's me with me cabbage smoothie... minus the chicken stock sad times ahead. NO GREAT times ahead. I'm going to be healthy, I'm going to lose the fat off my liver and off every other inch of me.. 

  I decided that I am not only going to do this for my self, I am going to document it so others can see my progress. From Monday I will film my day including shopping, Making the food creating new recipes and my work outs.. If this works then great, I hope other people are inspired and want to make the change to. 

  So this is my first blog, My opening to the world I am about to leap into.. I'm going to write my prep list for the second blog, my costings and exactly what it is I am buying.. Scales is a must, and a newspaper and photo daily so you can see the before and after pictures with proof I am doing this I'm sure you will follow my you tube page when I start my videos... If your interested in this sort of thing that is.
