Wishful Shrinking
I've been lurking on here for a few days, reading posts etc and decided to join today. Hopefully keeping this diary will be the kick up the bum I need to stay on course! I've really enjoyed reading other people's journeys on here.
So Im 28 years old and pretty overweight at 16st 4 which I find shocking. I guess I've been overweight for a lot of my life, but in the last few years the weight has really piled on. I've tried a few things before, slimfast, atkins diet, calorie counting, but always given up after a week or so and eaten more than before which is a really bad way to go on. I've got to the point where I feel my weight is affecting my health (I suffer from pretty bad asthma along with a heat sensitive urticaria) and I am sure losing weight will help improve these things.
I've chosen weight watchers as it is a balanced and healthy lifestyle that I want to keep up for life, plus nothing is banned which I like (if I can't have it, I want it).
Im doing weight watchers online as my life is pretty busy and I can fit it around my ever changing schedule. (I work as a teacher and my evenings are normally quite packed).
I've been eating up (with Mr Ariana's help) some of the bad things in my cupboards and am ready to start! This WILL be the last diet I begin, this time I WILL lose that weight!
My target weight is 9 1/2 stone as I'm pretty short, but my first major "target" is for 13stone 2.
I'm going to use this diary to keep track of my journey and help me work out what has gone well me.
