Hiya there! I'm Caroline and this is my SW diary.
I used to hate people who came out with the whole 'it's not a diet, it's a way of life'. I always thought of course it's a diet cos you're doing it to lose weight! Then one day after having my son I 'got' it! If I don't change to this way of eating for life I'll always be on a diet!
So how did I get here? A long story, most of my early life I was over weight and have spent most of my teens and 20's on a diet in one form or another. I've had a lot of issues with depression and binge eating and it's only now I'm getting help for what I thought was post natal depression that I can see I've been using food and dieting to deal with my moods for a very long time.
I had my son in March and put on about 3 and a half stone while pregnant. Most of that has gone now, but I've decided to teach myself about eating healthy with SW to reach a healthier weight.
I've decided to put a diary on here cos I'm struggling. My first week I lost five pounds and then I've put on the last two, mainly cos if I'm honest I've not been 100% on plan. I'm going to classes to do this, so I might as well do it properly!
Phew! If you got through this first message well done! I will no doubt witter away to myself on here loads while I talk about my Sw journey and my life!!
