Ok so today is the day, I am starting today, I have umed and ahed about starting now or waiting for Christmas to be over and to be honest I thought at least if I start today knowing I'll have a few blips in the next few weeks, and accepting that, it has to be better than going full pelt into the next few weeks and stuffing my face.
I have a Christmas meal Thursday with a customer I have to go to but I'll try and keep it low carb and I won't be drinking cause I'm driving. Friday I have a Christmas party with work but again I'll keep low carb and try not to drink. I am supposed to go to a meal with friends Saturday but I think this will probably get cancelled.... If not low carb it is! Then the only other thing is Christmas Day! And I will have the whole day off knowing I'll suffer after but hey it'll be worth it! Am I mad attempting this in the run up to Christmas ??? Part of me thinks so but on the other hand I feel ready, now is the time! And I don't want to waste that!
A little bit about me, I've been big all my life and around four years ago I had enough, I joined slimming world and did really well I lost nearly 8 stone to get me to 17 stone ish (still massive I know!) I then started exante and lost the next 3 stone to get me to 15 5 lbs my lightest ever adult weight !!! But then I had a tough time, my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and he died within 6 weeks, me and my brother nursed him at home ( lost mom when I was 21) and it was hard really hard, and I lost it. Over the next two years I have gained over 10 stone to take me to my heaviest ever 26st 9lbs today's starting weight! I have to do this, and I will do this. I know it's not going to be easy but I have no choice.
We'll if you've made it this far you know more about me than anyone! I'll keep updating in the hope it'll keep me going. I also have my first foreign holiday in 14 years booked for next year, France for 2 weeks with hubby and kiddies end of July, I can't wait and I want to be a light as possible by then. How much do you think I should aim to loose in 7 month???
