Fat bird on a mission

I hope to help people by inspiring and sharing my tips and recipes. I lost 5st 7lb and have now kept it off for 2 years. Start weight - 14st 3lb(199lb) weight now - 8st 10lb(122lb) I did this with healthy eating and calorie counting, with combined exercise. I do not advocate starvation or eating under 1000 calories a day. This blog is to inspire people who want to lose weight safely and get to/ or stay within a healthy BMI. Don't put your health in danger by under eating to get to your goals. Trust me, it won't work out in the long run. Feel free to Reblog anything you see on this page. I always follow back new followers.

will you post what an average workout is for you?

Hiya Squidwalsh, - I vary my exercise dramatically. My workout today was a 6mph run for 5k followed by squats and some Nike training for 15 minutes to work on my Abs.

I try to keep my exercise up although do have periods of time where i'm quite sedentary! - It's all about finding what you enjoy, like swimming or cycling.. I try and mix it up and do a bit of everything... I'm no saint though, I find it really hard sometimes...

I love this diet blog. I completely agree with everything she says... It's so wonderful to see someone with the same attitude as I have towards food. Too many girls see things like burger or cheese/ chocolate as something to avoid when on a diet..but this shows you with proper measurements you can have ANYTHING you want...which ultimately will make you more successful and crave food less. As nothing is off the menu. The problem with most diets is that they limit or cut out things you crave, whilst this does work it is not sustainable and will ultimately fail. A question I pose to people when they say "I've given up chocolate/cake etc" is "oh really? For how long?" - they often give you a funny look, but too many people don't see the bigger picture. If you're cutting out food you love ... You plan to cut that out for the rest of your life? It won't happen. Not if you love it... You'll inevitably give in and fail dramatically...fuelling a never ending cycle of diet/give up/diet/give up... Something that diet companies love - I wish more people thought like this and stopped seeing food as the enemy.

Yellow Thai Aubergine Curry - 131 Calories - 2.9% Fat

Recently my family have been really loving this dinner. It's a great way to get the fix of a takeaway without the scary 4 figure calorie count. This meal is perfect to have with poppadums and "naan" style bread. - Today I had this meal with 2 poppadums and 1 Weightwatchers Pita bread with 100g steamed Courgette for 344Kcal

What you'll need

To serve 4 - excluding accompaniments - 131kcal with 2.9% Fat

2 onions, diced

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 aubergine, diced

1 yellow pepper, diced

1 tbsp ground coriander

1/2 tbsp ground turmeric

1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds or ground fenugreek

pinch of saffron

2 small green chilli's (I remove the seeds, you don't have to)

seeds from 6 cardamom pods

1-2 tsp's vegetable stock powder

1x400ml can reduced fat coconut milk

2tbsps fresh chopped basil

What to do with it all

Preheat a non-stick wok or frying pan. Dry-fry the onion and garlic until soft and lightly coloured. Add the aubergine and yellow pepper. Brown, and then season with salt and black pepper.

Add the spices and continue cooking for 2 minutes before adding the the stock and coconut milk.

Reduce the heat and simmer gently as the sauce thickens. Stir in the basil and serve immediately.

Depending on brand and where you shop will determine the calories of your accompaniments but i buy Morrison s Poppadoms and they have a calorie value of 44kcal per poppadom.

Weight-watchers sell Pitta breads in packs at 106kcal each. - pop these on an open flame to get them to pop up and crisp the edges. They make a great substitute for naan bread. (Please be careful though when doing this!)

It really is yummy, I hope some of you try it! :)

Remember - 131kcal is for JUST the curry. not the extras.

My mum

My mum is my inspiration. She spurs me on to be healthy. We both embarked on this together and she is now 101lbs lighter as a result. She's amazing. 👏

Diets don't fail people - people fail diets.

Downsides of dieting.

Anyone else got bruised hip bones since losing weight? - no matter how careful I am going through doors or past tables, they always get smacked.
