Well i bet you have seen loads of newbie posts today..and lo and behold heres another one! Lol
So, im Flora, live in N.Wales, im 25, a Mum to a 6yr old Boy and just got engaged on Christmas day to a fab Man (yay!) and ive decided that this year im going to lose weight..im currently a size 18/20 and i *think* im around 17 stone but i cant bring myself to weigh myself so cant be exact..but by accident i saw it on the screen at the DR's last time i was there so im probably still around that mark to be honest. To be blunt im sick of being fat..sick of not being able to just walk into any old shop and grab something and leave, sick of feeling like the frumpy one in the corner, sick of not being me because im not confident enough to be me and dont like the health risks with being overweight..and ive decided i want and need to change now.
I never eat breakfast, sometimes even skip lunch too, though if im in work then i will go grab a bap from a butty shop, then i eat crap for tea. I drink at least 500ml of coke a day, i have to or get a HUGE headache, though in my defence i try and drink more water lately. I dont really eat crisps or cakes..i do like the odd Wispa though and bread plays a big part in my life..we tend to eat out an awful lot of the time..local pubs mainly but do have at least one takeaway a week too (How lazy are we eh? lol), so basically its going to be hard for me to change the way i eat! I can go out and order a jacket potato and extra salad..then i add onion rings and garlic bread too it though thus its not as healthy as it should be! So i have to change the way i think and eat..
I do walk a lot..either in work (Im a SA so on my feet for 9hours a day when in work usually 2/3 dyas a week) or im out shopping and walking round town for 5 hours lol. I have asthma too, which makes it a bit more tricky i think with running etc.
Because i dont know what i weigh i cant track my loss..so im thinking i will have to do it by dress size loss (or by how big my now clothes are on me that kind of thing)..so when i can fit into size 8 pants then i know im a winner lol..no, i'd be happy at a size 14..so if i can do that by this time next year (or sooner) then i will be one happy Lady!
I know so many people must say it at this time of year but im determined to do it now, while im young and to regain my life back while i can..
Si i wish every other newbie here the best of luck and i hope that 2009 is the year for you and if anyone has any tips/advice for me then id be glad to recieve them..x
