Up for the challenge
Hey everyone! :wavey:
I hope you all had a lovely weekend despite the not so lovely weather.
I thought that I would start a diary as i have been reading some other members' diaries and they are fab. Unfortunately i cannot promise that mine will also be fab but I will do my best.
Okay so where to start. Well my name is Sarah and I am 22. I have just graduated in English Literature and Drama which i absolutely loved even though it's not looking like it will be that useful in the real world *sigh*
I have always had problems with my weight ever since I was little, or not so little as the case may be. I have always been really competitive and I think that's where the problem started. I have an older brother and wanted to prove that I could be the same as him. So of course if he was eating something i had to be too. Trouble is is that my brother is 4 years older than i am and obviously can therefore eat a lot more than me without gaining weight. I had no such luck. My main problem has always been portion control as generally i eat fairly heathily and I'm lucky that I really like fruit and veg. So I'm finding WW a great way of re-educating myself.
I also play/played a lot of sport which i love and am fairly decent at although I'm sure I would be a lot better if there wasn't quite so much of me to run around a tennis or Korfball court. However I had a car accident in October where I was crossing a zebra crossing and got hit by a car and i cracked my hip and wasn't allowed to/ still am not meant play any sport till end of June. I do a bit now and then but not to the level I'm used to and as a result have gained a lot of weight in that time. From playing sport 4 times and week to barely nothing. Oh well c'est la vie at least I was okay in the main. I am getting a lot stronger and i am hoping to start swimming in early July and should have my pedometer by next week so that'll help too hopefully.
So anyway enough ramblings. Today I had my first WI as a member of this excellent community and it wasn't quite what I was hoping for but i did still lose a pound. So as long as it is coming off I'm happy, even if it is a little slowly. After all it's taken me a long long time to put this weight on so of course it's going to take time to get rid of it.
I'm so glad I have found minimins and already feel like I have made some very good friends and hope to make many more. :grouphugg:
You guys are so inspirational and so supportive. I wish you all the luck in the world with your weight losses and if anyone wants a chat or anything you know where to find me.
