I am a 38 year old antipodean. I have struggled with weight all my adult life but after the recent earthquakes, I have tended to turn more and more to food for comfort, and so have put on a lot of weight in a very short space of time. Now is the time to lose it.
Over the years I have tried many things, eating healthily, Weight Watchers, swimming and even being a gym bunny. Nothing has been as successful as I would have liked. I have had major trouble with my back and the nerves around that, and I have PCOS ... great fun. If I don't do something now, diabetes is knocking on the door.
I recently had the honour of being the Maid of Honour at my friend's wedding. I hate (and I do mean hate) looking at most of the photos of me at that wedding. I really don't like what I see.
From all bad things come some good. The bride, my friend Kirsty, was once a large girl too. She drew a line in the sand, found a diet that she could manage and shrunk ... dropping weight life the trees drop their leaves. That diet was the Dukan Diet. She is my inspiration and this is my Dukan adventure.
I am currently on day 3 of 6 in the attack phase, and I have found the blogs that others have posted, sharing their Dukan experience invaluable. I have turned to these for inspiration, hints and recipes. I hope that this blog, and my experiences, will help someone else out there who find themselves in the unenviable position of losing weight.
Best of luck to us all!
