Hurrah, End of week 1 and 6lbs lost. I'm thrilled!
I've started to read a lot of your diaries, which have helped to motivate me in what's been a very stressful 1st week back on WW, so decided to write my own in the hope I'll nail why I eat like I do. I know I'm an emotional eater. I eat when happy, sad, bored, stressed... Or I suppose I should say I USED to eat, as I'm going to change. Feel free to post on my diary especially if I get stuck and need a kick! Hints and tips are most welcome too.
Anyway, a little about me. I'm almost 37 and mum to a son 19, daughter 16 and son who's almost 2. I've been an ME sufferer since 1990, though only officially diagnosed 6 years later. I found out when my eldest was 3 that he had Asperger Syndrome/Dyspraxia, so had to cope with that as well. Then when children were still only 7 and 5, I was widowed. Ironically that was probably one of my thinnest times.
Now happily married to a wonderful man I met on the 'net and we have 1 child together. He has seen me at my heaviest and thinnest and still loves me, though I don't love myself right now.
So here I am, back on the wagon and determind to get to a size 12/14.
This week, despite having lots of stress caused by a 16yr old who thinks she knows everything and is taking her GCSE's, I have amazingly lost 6lbs. I've been on 21 points to kickstart and think I'll probably do it again this week before going up to my normal points, which I think will be 26.
I'm going to have lost at least a stone by my birthday on 7th August.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.
