Right, today's the day! I am officially on a diet, the diet which is to be the last diet I ever go on, the diet that is going to take me all the way to where I want to be...this is the one!! I'm in an excellent frame of mind and I really really feel like I'm going to do it this time! I WILL BE SLIM AGAIN!!! I WILL!!!!
A bit about me...I am 24 years old and mother of one beautiful little girl. When I fell pregnant in Sept '05 I weighed in at 11st 2lb (which at the time was the heaviest I'd ever been, so that was bad enough), I suffered with morning sickness for the first 11 weeks of my pregnancy and my weight dropped to 10st 4lb (woo hooo! ha ha), but that made me lazy and by the time by gorgeous baby girl was ready to make her appearance in June '06 I tipped the scales at 13st 2lb! A week after she was born I was back down to 11st 7lb, so I just sat back and assumed the weight would drop off on it's own....BIG MISTAKE....I now weigh more than I did then! Oops!!
So, I need to get back on track and banish the flab and I'm going to try and do it following ww. I've done ww before with some success, so I know the diet well and know it works for me when I stick to it. This time I'm going to try and do it without the meetings and just use the internet (ie this forum) as my inspiration and support.
I weighed in this morning at 11st 12lb (arghhh!!!) and am currently wearing a size 16. I'm setting my first target is 10st 4lb - which will hopefully have me back in a size 14, and my long term all time dream goal is 9st 4lb - which I'm hoping will get me into a size 12 (may seem like an strange goal with the odd 4lb, but I remember seeing a success story in the ww magazine years ago of a girl the same height as me and that was the goal she'd reached - she looked fantastic!! So, that's where that came from).
So, day one, here goes!!!
