ENOUGH!! Official 10 day diet

Background:
Ever since I turned 18, I've had mad struggles with my weight. It's funny aswell because I've always been self conscious about my weight whatever age (hard to believe by some of my facebook pictures), however I look back on pictures and think wow, I was so slim and I never knew it!! However now, It's obvious to me when I put on the pounds, and I HATE it.

This was me when I was around 16. Trust me, I do NOT have that stomach anymore.
I do not have the same anything anymore to be honest :/


The best time of my life I'd say was a few months ago when I had a good job, and had money to pay for a gym membership. Amazing. I was going everyday and felt fit, and didn't even want to eat crappy foods, as I was so motivated to change my lifestyle and get that victoria secret (ish) body!!

Then I lost my job....

Since then I have been extremely low on money. And the pounds have slowly but surly crept back up on me. I've got to the point now, where I feel like its affecting my life more than anything else. I constantly think about my weight, and when I'm walking I feel uncomfortable as my clothes are a tad tighter than usual. ENOUGH!!

I want to diet... for ME.
No one else.
I want to look in the mirror and think daym, who's that sexy lady.
No one needs to change for anyone but themselves.

The Main Bit.

I am going to start off slowly. I've 10 post-it notes on my wardrobe, representing the next 10 days, where I will be on a strict diet of:

- Water (Lots of it, all day)
- Green Tea (Instead of normal tea, which I love, so british)
- Soup (I will post different soups I make, I am new to this but have found a good book to study)
- Veg (I dont like fruit)
- Rice Cakes (Good to snack on)
- Fresh Fish (I cannot ever cut out meat completely)




The reason why I know this is for real and I will not cheat this, Is because I am going to document each day on this blog. If I have to come here at the end of the day and admit to eating rubbish I would be very disappointed :(

I will also be doing various exercises. I will also update you on these. Who needs the gym!!

Long Lasting Waves By Plaits


I always straighten my hair, never curl. Its much easier and curling always seems t o go wrong when you just dont have the time. Recently I've been OBSESSED with this method of getting light longlasting waves. It looks very natural and everyone will comment on it, trust me!


First, get yourself a few thin hairbands, and split your hair into small parts. The more plaits you do, the smaller the waves will be, and the more volume you will achieve. For larger waves just do two or three. 
Plait your hair :)

Leave your hair for a while, the best thing to do is do this in the evening. You will wake up with beautiful fresh looking hair, which will last for at least 2 days.



This step is optional : If you have left a large enough gap of hair at the ends, straighten them. This gives a more tasseled, beachy look to your style. I personally love beach hair.


Then just undo the bands and let your hair go! I would recommend NOT to brush or comb through your waves, as this will ruin the textured look of it. Run a bit of Argon oil or my personal favorite, baby oil through the ends and your ready to rumble.

Try it out yourself and let me know how it goes!

Welcome to my life

A short introduction:

Right, here we are. To be very honest I'm not sure what I'm doing here, but it feels good! Im currently sitting on the floor by my bed surrounded by more wires than I even thought I had. I have to do with out a desk for a while until we eventually move house. Pretty much all of our furniture has already gone into storage, and we are left to sit on floors.

MASSIVE SIDETRACK.




I've decided to blog my life from now on. I feel that I'm at a point in my life where I'm not to sure what I'm doing or where I'm going. I want to document each day, record my diet and exercise routine, my job hunting, make up routine and more. I hope that this will help me straighten myself out and motivate me, and hopefully you! I'd love for you to follow me on my journey and me yours, and who ever you are dont be scared to send me a message even if you just need someone to talk to. I'll help you if you help me!

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and follow if you want to see more :) xx
