[FONT="]Hello everyone.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I was a serial dieter and an expert at it. Quick fix diets drew me to them like a moth to the flame. I lost the weight, it dropped off me in fact, 10lbs in a week on the Cambridge, but when I went back to normal eating the weight piled back on rapidly and added a bit more for good measure.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Last new year’s day, I took myself in hand. Ate whatever I wanted, but made myself sit down to eat it, even a sneaky biscuit (cookie) in the kitchen and I wrote down everything I ate… quite an eye opener that was. Gradually I got myself into a healthy eating routine and the weight came off slowly. If I wanted a bar of chocolate, I had a bar of chocolate. I learned to like myself and not set unrealistic targets. Holiday times I ate what I wanted and because I wasn’t fixated on losing weight I didn’t gorge. [/FONT]
[FONT="]So far I’ve lost a stone (14lbs) since January. It’s not much and I know. I’m going at a snail’s pace, but this the longest I have lost weight and kept it off. [/FONT]
[FONT="]I’m feeling a bit out on a limb now and also a bit lonely. May I join you all? I’ve no idea which group I fit into but if you’ll have me, I’m in for a long haul. I'd really love to meet people the same as me on here
This is an example of what a dingbat I am..... I meant to call myself Autumn (English version of Fall) but misspelled it and I'm stuck with the unpronounceable autunm:8855:
