Hey everyone
Thought it would be a good way to motivate myself and hopefully others to continue to end of their weight loss journey.
I'm Martha. I'm 25 from Belfast. I'm married and mother to a beautiful 4 and a half year old girl.
I actually started Cambridge in June 2012 and started off well but quickly went back to old dieting habits of having a meal after weigh in and it slowed things down for me big time. I
It took me to dec to loose 3.5 stone and it was quite common for me to near the next stone and suddenly decides I wanted to eat. Self sabotage I guess.
Over Christmas and right up until march this year I messed about and found it so hard to get back into the swing of things. I got so mad at myself because I knew there was nothing I wanted more than to be slim and feel good about myself.
I have many reasons for wanting to loose weight. I want to like what I see in the mirror. I don't want my daughter to be answerable for my weight ( she recently came home from nursery telling my a girl in her class was laughing because I had a big tummy) that's not her problem and I don't want her to feel she has to explain herself for me. I want to be a good role model for my daughter and my future children. I want to go into 'normal shops' and buy clothes knowing they will stock my size. I don't want to be the 'fat friend'
I'm sure we all have our reasons and they are just some of mine.
I lost 3.5 stone up to December and it all went downhill after that.
My cwpc was heading on holiday the following week so it would be 2 weeks until I got weighed again.I promised myself I would just see these 2 weeks through and I would have already achieved something because I've never done ss 2 weeks straight.
Well I did stick to it 100% and when I got weighed I was 21lbs lighter. The following week I lost 2lb which I was a little disappointed in but I had to remember the large loss the fortnight before I couldn't expect a huge loss. I decided that day fortnightly weigh ins will suit me better. That brings me up to today and my next weigh in is tomorrow morning.
I am now on my 6th week and I can hardly believe I have been so strong for this amount of time and I continue to surprise myself as the weeks float by.
My goal weight is 11 stone and I cannot wait to see the stones melt away from my body.
I would love you all to follow my journey and hopefully we can support each other through this journey.
Thanks for reading
