Blog about losing weight, Nathalie in Slimming Land

This blog about losing weight, unlike my other blogs, I created primarily for myself. The blogs on spirituality, tarot, astrology and the human psyche, I wrote primarily to inform my readers as much as possible and explain to interested visitors my view on things.

I launched the blog about losing weight, my 'weight-loss blog' for short, because I desperately needed help myself. After eighteen years of being fat and yo-yoing, I had had enough. Although everywhere in the media these days the emphasis is on body positivity and various BN-ers shouting from the rooftops that women are just fine the way they are, things are a bit more nuanced.

I wouldn't lose sleep over a roll of fat or the well-known "plus size". But if you now have two chins and three stomachs and are only somewhat presentable in a shapeless tent, it becomes a different story.

When your BMI indicates that you are obese you can no longer speak of body positivity and 'I am good as I am' but simply have to choose your health. At least, that's how I stand myself in view of my own out-of-control situation.

Those who have been following me for some time will have had to suppress a chuckle more than once: a writing a book on slimming and just weigh 123 kilos myself again.

And blame them...

I myself found it long since beyond laughter. In fact, it was enough to make you cry! Twice I lost weight really well with the method I describe in the Balance book. Unfortunately, both times I also relapsed.

OK, so a blog about losing weight.

Although I keep this blog primarily for myself, to motivate myself and have a stick, I hope to use it to inspire others too.

This is also the reason I put all tips & tricks online for free.

As a stick for myself (everyone is watching, I have to follow through now, failing publicly for the third time would be really embarrassing!)
Because I wish everyone this fun way of losing weight and, of course, a healthy BMI. Because that this is achievable with this method is already more or less proven.

So the fact that I have relapsed again is not because of the method, but because of my own (slack) mindset.

Thought power is stronger than you think

I am not a dietician, that much is clear. Nevertheless, after eighteen years of experience, I think I now know which ways of losing weight do and do not work (permanently). In addition, I have learned a lot from the personal trainers I have had the pleasure of training with over the years, both in the field of sports and nutrition.

When I wrote a book in 2010 about ADHD I wanted to get to the bottom of things. With no prior training in this direction, I then spent a year immersing myself completely in the world of psychology and working regularly with a psychiatry pharmacist. The result was an award for the most inspiring book in the national category. Still not bad for a non-expert.

While writing the Balance book and developing this weight-loss programme, I once again drew on the knowledge I gained about psychology at the time. After all, slimming down starts in your head.

I also completely immersed myself in the world of nutrition and responsible and effective weight loss. Hopefully again with a reward as a result: this time in the form of a fit and healthy body!

So again, despite being a non-official expert, I now know what I am talking about thanks to the advice I have had from well-experts.

In my slimming blog I follow step by step my own weight-loss programme and (officially approved by nutrition and sports experts) feeding programme.

I will not fight the battle with the excess kilos, but with myself. After all, it is me who has been eating all those kilos all these years. So I am also the one who can get all that misery off again.

If there is anyone at all who could thwart me in this, this is - again - entirely me.

Believing you will succeed is half the battle here. Thought power is stronger than you think. As long as you say it is difficult it will remain difficult.
