Hi everyone,
My name is Natasha and I am in my mid twenties. (from next week I will be in my late twenties!! eeek!) I was a chubby kid and then went on a strict no carb diet when I was 15 and became a skinny minnie. Then I went to Uni and was put on steroids and I went up to 15 stone. Over the next two years I tried every diet under the sun (WW, CD, Atkins, calorie counting, eating one meal a day, Sureslim) and managed to get down to 13.10. Then I was bullied by my in laws regarding my weight, they tried to break me and my other half up because of it, and all through that year I actually went up to 16 stone. I am now 16.2 stone and If I dont do something I will just end up being fat forever. I have put off getting married to the man I love, because I really don't want to be a fat bride. I keep telling him we'll get married when I lose all the weight. I know what you will all say- but I just can't face being a size 22 bride it would break my heart. We have been together since I was 17. Anyway, I need to finally get this weight off. Has anyone failed many times before finally succeeding? I have a lot of weight to lose. Around 6-7 stones. Can I do it? I'm going to begin Slimming world extra easy just after Christmas, as I know to do so now would be setting myself up to fail. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. I have so much strength in other areas of my life and I am such a high achiever but food is my downfall...
