I’ve been living in Sweden for a little over 5 years now. It’s almost been as long since my last post here. Time flies fast we hear all the time, but it can also go slow at the same time. I suppose sometimes we not only count the years, but also accomplishments, and I don’t have that many to count these last 5 years, except getting older and fatter. I have watched more television than I ever have in my life, which my body can account to. Believe it or not, but I have gained over 30 kilos since coming to Sweden ( that’s almost 70 pounds).
How does one let this happen, you’re asking yourself? (and so am I) Well, you move to a new country where you don’t really know anyone but your family, and out of all the countries in the world, this is Sweden (probably the most difficult place to make a new friend on earth). really. So food and alcohol become your new best friends, and little by little, the kilos creep on, and you have watched every episode of everything at least once.
But all that’s about to change, and I’m going to blog about it here amongst other things, opinions and stuff.
Why is it going to change, you ask? Well, I guess I can’t do anything about the getting older part, but I am going to do something about my physical wellness and appearance. And you can follow my progress right here. I figure, what can be more humiliating than writing about weight loss and change, and then not having any results. I’m a strong believer in the power of humiliation, since I need all the help I can get, to get up off the couch, I’m invoking that as well.
So, what’s my plan? Starting tomorrow (never start on a Monday), I’m going to be starting to eat LCHF, and start moving. It’s taken me 5 years to put on the weight, so I’m being realistic when it comes to how long it’s going to take, I have no deadlines. Just want to get healthier, and look and feel better about myself.
I’m weighing myself tomorrow morning, not sure if I am brave enough to share this number with anyone (for now), but I am also going to measure my (non-existent) waist, and will share that with you.
Alright, that’s all for now, folks.
