Hi everyone,
I'm a total Dukan newbie making a fresh start for 2014. Slightly scared, but raring to go! I hope nobody minds me jotting down my thoughts here, but I find it quite helpful writing things down.
About me - I'm 26, and to be honest, my weight has always been a bit of an issue. I've never been larger than a size 14, but have always felt like 'the big one' compared to my friends. As my mother has always struggled with her weight, I've grown up with an awareness of how to unsuccessfully yo-yo diet - and therefore, have done so many many times since hitting adulthood, although I have never actually hit my target weight. This year I've got married, and am now looking towards spending the rest of my life with my husband, but want to do so in a healthier way with a better attitude towards both food and myself. My husband doesn't need to lose an ounce of weight, but is incredibly supportive of me, which is great.
Since the summer, my weight has crept up, and now I weigh more than I ever have in my life. To be honest, it's scared me into trying something different... Something that will help me turn things around for good.
So... Rather than heading back onto SW or WW, which both work for me, but offer too much flexibility to cheat - I've decided to give the Dukan Diet a try. Over the last 10 days or so, I've read the book from cover to cover (reading some key parts twice or three times!), and am starting my 6 day attack phase today (30-12-13).
Roll on the weight loss!
Keep thinking thin everyone! :character00238:
