Ever since I can remember, I have always been overweight, and it has stopped me from doing many things. However in Aug 2008 I started the journey that would change my life forever, LighteLife. Unfortunately, at the end of my 14 weeks, I thought I could go alone and decided to leave. The CBT must have worked as I didn't put on any weight, but I didn't lose either and now I have come back to the LL family to end the journey I started.
When I reached my 4 stone loss, I decided to get a tattoo done, something that was frowned up on by family (Indian you see...) but I decided to go ahead. Then I cut my hair, which had always been long (kind of like a blanket I had hidden behind all this time) and then I changed my wardrobe. I used to wear traditional indianwear to work. But have changed these for trousers, skirts and really nice tops, and loads of shoes!!!
But I now want to do those things I would never have done before. I am planning to do a skydive for Lupus UK (my sis in law is a sufferer) in November this year, and hoping that I am at target by then so I can fit into the suit! Before I would never have thought that I could have done this, the thought of freefalling and that my weight would just bring me to earth a tad too faster than normal!
I would also like to bungee jump and ride a bike again (haven't done this since I was 10 years old!)
Lighterlife has opened those doors for me which would have never opened before!
Is there anything that you will be rewarding yourself with when you reach target?
