Just a little side-blog because I don't want to go on about dieting in my main blog, some people just don't wanna keep reading about that sorta thing! I just want to be happy with my body and the way I look, and I guess losing a bit of weight is my first step to achieving that goal. I hope you find it useful!

| I have Self Issues! |
I'm one of millions of girls (and guys too I'm sure!) who have serious issues with their self image, so I've decided to keep a blog about it. I'm going to mostly focus on dieting and excersize, and write how I feel about myself every day. I wanted to keep this separate from my main blog because I want that to be for everyone to read, and this one not so much, I guess this is more for myself because I need to get over my lack of self confidence! With this blog I want to write about different things I am going to do to try and make me feel better about myself, the first thing being losing weight and getting fit. I also want to improve my skin, become more capable at public speaking, become a better performer and lots of other things, but I'm going to start here.
Most people think I'm loud and not shy at all but I really lack a lot of confidence and I think this has a lot to do with the fact that I was constantly put down while I was growing up. I'm gonna face facts now and get fit and better myself physically! I'm going to document my progress with pictures (This is a HUGE thing for me to put semi-naked pictures of myself up online, not something I would have done a few years ago! But hopefully it'll spur me on to lose the weight I need and get fitter.
At the moment I weigh 138.6 lbs and I'm aiming to get that down to about 124 at first, and then to 117 which will be a stone and a half in weight loss. Starting from tomorrow I'm going back on the good old Atkin's diet but I'm not gonna make a big hoo hah about it and tell everyone like I normally do because then I somehow always end up cheating and not losing the weight!
I'm gonna be exersizing too and I'll write all that down in here. This'll probably be reeeeeeally boring for anyone who actually reads it but I'm doing it for me so I don't really care! If I can help anyone else acheive their weight loss goals or ger their self confidence back without going crazy I'll have done something good and be glad about it!
SO...to get us started on the Atkins diet here are a few useful links:
http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/beginners.html
http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/goldenshot.html
http://www.lowcarb.ca/
http://www.low-carb.org.uk/main.htm
I've been doing this diet on and off for a few years and found it really worked for me until recently, when I didn't seem to lose as much weight on it as before. So I tried a calorie controlled diet but it's much less specific and very easy to get carried away and cheat - which I did, lots! - so I'm back on the Low Carb lifestyle and I'm determined to make it work! Lots of people bad-mouth Low Carb diets but a lot of the bad things you hear are not supported with research and are quite often pure myth! So check out a few of my links, and if you're going on the diet, get yourself a copy of the Atkins Nutritional Approach - it really does help.
And I don't want to hear anything about Dr. Atkins dying of heart failure due to obesity!!!! That was nothing to do with the diet he devised!
So........Cover your eyes, here are my first gross pictures!!! The lightened areas after the black dots are the bits I wanna get rid of! (Oh...and I know the underwear doesn't match, but I don't care....ha!)

| About Me |
|
Name: Stace
Home: Maidstone, Kent, United Kingdom
About Me: I'm crazy! Only joking...though some people probably think I actually am! I'm a 21 year old pianist/singer from Kent, England who loves anything pretty, random, creative and a little bit different, because I am a little bit different, but I love it! I enjoy things like sunsets and beautiful scenes in nature, along with geeky stuff like Chemistry and word origins (Shhh!), history and stuff like that. When I was little I wanted to be an archaeologist, and then a teacher, and then a famous musician, and then a tri-lingual translator...and now it's back to the famous musician, I'm not holding my breath but I'm crossing my fingers! Once I pull my finger out and get my stuff recorded properly, that is...
Also, I love to create. Anything. Drawings, Paintings, Photos, Music, Poetry, even dinner! Because everytime you create something you make an extension of your soul, like a tree growing new branches :)
There, that's all...have I bored you? :P
