Hi Ladies, Charley here (oh yes, yet again) honestly......
Anyways as many of you know I started at 14.12 and managed to get to 11 stone - then went on hols....blah de blah.
Won't bore you with what's been happening since September when I hit goal.
Anyways, I managed to get to 11 stone, a BMI of 25. Now to many that might not seem much, I see many people wishing for a BMI of 22/23 to be somewhere in the middle.
Currently mine is 29 and obviously I am upset about this, but really think that my natural weight is around 11.7 to 12 stone ish. I can still wear the same clothes (14 bottom, 12 top - 12 dress) at those weights. But this BMI business quite gets me down as a Dr or nurse would say I was 'overweight'.
Now I am larger, I am shocked at the people who said I looked 'ill' at 11 stone and it has got me thinking about as well as doing Cambridge, I don't seem to ever make over my mind, and learn to love myself.
I admit when I was 11 stone I had confidence and felt great, but I kind of felt like I was a bit of a fraud, not really supposed to be that slim, and the only way I could stay there would be to have a carb free life.
For example, if I ate a bowl of pasta the scales would show 3lbs the next morning, same with bread etc.
I don't want to live a life of always feeling like I have to be 'good', I sometimes want pizza and chips !
Of course the biggest issue is I never learn, I need to get to a weight I feel ok at and then manage my weight by healthy eating and allowing myself some treats, and also by moving my ass and doing some exersize and realising that this needs to be a change for life, not just until the next social night out.
Anyways I have no idea what I am trying to say so I will stop blabbering, I just wanted to clear my head !
