Today is the hopefully the first day to a new healthy me. I am 27, mum to newborn twins, and fat! I have always been big, even as a teenager I was the biggest out of all my friends. I am also tall so I looked massive. I was bullied bad about my size and resorted to comfort eating. Now I look back at pictures of the size 14 me and I would give anything to be like that again!!!
I lost a bit of weight when I went to uni, a case more of only eating jacket potatoes and not having money for rubbish food. Met my husband in my 2nd year. When I left uni I was a size 14 again. My OH was very active and would always drag me along. But slowly with more money I began eating all the wrong foods, takeaways, meals out, the odd glass of wine turned into the odd bottle of wine. I thought I earned it after a stressful day at work! Slowly the pounds creep on ( more like galloped the rate I was shovelling it in) the bigger I got the worse my self confidence got, the more I ate and drunk. My OH was worried but every time he tried to talk to me about it I would take it as a personal attack and make him feel guilty! I called him shallow questioned his love for me, told him he was a pig for not loving me, and lots of other cruel things. My OH stood by me and god knows how I found out I was pregnant. Sadly this did not improve how I ate, I used it as an excuse to eat more!!! I stuffed and stuffed. Luckily I had two perfect healthy babies, they are beautiful healthy and I am totally smitten. But 3 days after I had them my mum had pictures developed and its like for the first time I actually saw how I looked and its not pretty. I looked at my stunning babies, how they depended on me for every need, and a comment from my mil, about them always needing their mum and the penny dropped! I am dangerously obese and if I carry on like this there could be a chance I my not spend as long as i want with these little bundles............
So the last 6 weeks I have looked at all the diets I can do, I am sure they all work if stuck to! So I have picked what I feel best applies to my life style ( the never be hungry again was also a deciding factor) and slimming world it is! I had the ok from the GP last Monday, and yesterday I started class, I weigh a colossal 23stones and 11lbs!!!! I knew it was going to be bad,
