How I lost 12kg eating the French way

I’ve been meaning to write this blog post for the longest time, and in the end if felt like it made more sense over on the food blog that Hubs and I have created – Franglaise Cooking. So if you want to know how you can eat French food and not get fat, head on over there, by clicking here.

And here is a rough idea of what I looked like when I moved to France (left), then several months in, and 12kg (nearly 2 stone) lighter (right)!

They’re not the best photos and they don’t illustrate the difference as much as I’d like, but it was all I could find as it was in 1998!

      Thank you 🙂 It wasn’t until I put the photos side by side that I really saw the difference, quite amazing!

    Even your ‘fat’ photo is not that fat…!
    This does make sense. I do believe everything in moderation… including moderation. However, I have never been very good at it. I see a block of cheese and will not rest until I have polished off the lot. I know, I know…

      It was fat enough for me, and I’ve managed not to get that big (other than pregnancy) since losing all the weight, so something must have worked for me 🙂 It’s true that moderation can be hard (says she after a massive night out on Saturday!), but I do think it’s the secret, even if it does take some serious willpower…
