Hello everyone, well I am back. I was on this for a while a few years ago, I had been on the Lipotrim Diet and then moved to the Cambridge Diet. Today I am starting again, this time on the New You Diet. (Anyone else on this or is there a group for it?)
I have gained so much weight over the past few years and have put the blinkers on. This morning I weighed in at 19 Stone 13.5 lbs. I am wondering if it was a sign just before I pip the 20 Stone Mark? So basically I have a long journey ahead of me, I want to lose 9 stone and get to 11 stone. (I'm 5'7 and would be thrilled with this).
I have three beautiful children and I am at home full time. I have battled with depression and am off meds now the last 6 months. That coupled with giving up cigarettes nearly two years ago has helped me live in a world of comfort and binge eating.
I feel everything in my life is now dictated by my weight, I refuse invitations for nearly everything. I am so embaressed to bump in to people I know and as a consequence I have left myself pretty isolated. I feel I have lost out on some pretty good friends who have stopped asking to meet up, even though I have tried to be honest about how I feel it just doesn't seem to be understood. I have always been the chubby friend but now I am the very obese friend who has even struggled to squeeze in to some of my friends kitchen chairs. Why did I do this to myself? How did I let it get this out of control?
I was on a plane trip a couple months ago and sat in agony for nearly an hour with the seatbelt digging in to me. I was afraid to undo it in case it would not go back on. Most trips/holidays have been via ferry or car journeys.
Well, I have just put a deposit on our first family sun holiday for next July to give myself a big goal to finally lose the weight. I will never be in a bikini but I want to have a bit of fun with my kids and not just be the mum on the side minding the bags and coats.
I am really looking forward to getting to know you. I would really appreciate any support anyone can give, particularly from anyone in a similar situation to mine and I hope to help out others wherever I can too.
Good to be back.
