Hi,
I just wanted to introduce myself to the group, I have used this site before and found it really helpful.
A little bit about me, I've struggled with my weight since I was about 20 (I'm 35 now) and I'm currently about 3 stone over my ideal weight.
I have done slimming world in the past after my daughter was born and lost 2 stone quite easily, I felt fantastic when I reached target but then I made the mistake of stopping going to classes and the weight has slowly piled on over the past 3 years.
Since then I have tried low fat, low carb, high protein, juicing and fasting!! Nothing has worked and I just can't seem to stick to anything. My diet is all over the place and I'm just feeling so fat and uncomfortable!!
Today I made muffins for the school bake sale tomorrow and ended up eating 7 of them literally as soon as they came out of the oven!
I've decided now that enough is enough, I've downloaded my fitness pal and I'm going to start tracking my calories to see how much I'm actually consuming! I feel that I've hit a bit of a low and truly feel pretty disgusted with myself for my lack of self control.
I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself but my goal next week is going to be to track my calories for an entire week and cut out snacks. If that goes well, I will start to build it up with a diet and exercise plan to shift this weight.
Does anyone have any advice about which diet they would recommend that is easy to stick to and healthy?
Many thanks for reading, wish me luck!!! X
