I would like to start with a little history...
Overweight as a child but it just seemed to melt away by the time i was 15 i was a size 10/12 i never thought about it and certainly didnt appreciate it, left shool at 17 and went into nursing even with shifts eating anything and sometimes going without food, my weight never really changed then my mum died, we knew it was coming but i was devastated, 9 weeks later my sister died, 2 days after her funeral i lost my dad too, before i knew it i was only just over 6 stone, but also pregnant, lost that baby at 14 weeks and was pregnant again 5months later, by the time michael was born i was 14 stone, went to ww, went down to 11 stone went on to part time nightshift and within about 3 months i was nearly 16 stone and that pattern has followed me now for many years and i am now 20 stone 3lbs and my health is suffering for it.
I have never been a huge fan of scales so i am going for the monthly weigh, i dont know how this will go, but the changes i intend to make are really quite substantial, my usual routine was take my daughter to school, buy rolls, bacon and sausage on way home- 9:40am two rolls with sausage and 2/3 bits of bacon on each, between 11 and 12 another roll with crisps or cold meat on and at least 3 kitkats or a couple of cream eggs, ordinary (sometimes healthy) dinner with the kids around 6ish and a chinese takeaway every night except a monday. Hubby works in a chinese resturant, so free meal every night.
I should really be closer to 30stone.
Right at this moment in time i disgust myself.
