Welcome to my diary.
I will start off by saying I was on minimins a very long time ago but I thought a fresh diet start needed a fresh account.
I'll also let you know now that I plan on using this diary as an 'everything' diary, sometimes I may be oversharing but I like having somewhere to come and dump my thoughts...you have been warned!
Oh and I have a terrible habit of overusing emojis and exclamation points so I'm sorry in advance for anyone reading this thing.
Here is a little about me.
My name is Claire and I'm in my early 30's. I am currently single and have no children. I do volunteer work in animal rescue and that is pretty much my life (and I love it!) I have a little nephew who I look after once a week and seeing him is the highlight of my week.
I have agoraphobia, borderline personality disorder, social anxiety and ptsd. I also have type 2 diabetes. My physical and mental health are not so great right now but I'm working on improving both.
Years ago I took the prescribed medication Xenical/Orlistat and I very quickly lost about 6 stone, that weight has stayed off.
Sadly like many other people I wanted a quicker weight loss and started trying meal replacements which never worked for me but that didn't stop me trying over and over and over again. I kept losing and gaining the same 2 stone and years later I'm no slimmer!
So after advice from some amazing nutritionists and personal trainers I've decided to give healthy eating a go. I'm also going to be adding some exercise. I've tried healthy eating and usually end up restricting too much and then get hungry and give up. This time I've been told I need to eat approx 1800-2000 calories a day, which seems awfully high but I'm trusting the professionals and I'll see how I get on. That calorie allowance is based on my current weight, my TDEE and activity levels.
I've added my stats on my profile but they're not coming up on the side under my pic like they used to.
My starting weigh is - Weight - 18st 7lbs
Let the weight loss begin!!
