Hi
If you have afew minutes I’d like to tell you my story.
Since as long as I can remember I have been overweight, I remember the fear of lining up in a maths class at about 7 years old to have the teacher record my weight and being put on weight poster on the classroom wall, I was the heaviest.
At about 13 I became friendly with a girl who lost a huge amount of weight in no time whatsoever, I asked her secret, she didn’t eat. I tried it too, it worked and I became thinner, then when I had to eat I made myself sick, I’d keep a bag in my room which I would be sick in and throw away on the way to school the next day. Looking back now I can see I was using this as a control mechanism as my parents were divorcing and I was a teenager in a mess.
I started work at 16 and lived on a diet of chocolate and cigarettes; at this time I was about 9 stone.
I fell in love and got fat, I fell out of love and got fatter, I quit smoking 7 years ago (I smoked from the age of 13 !) and I got fatter. I met my now husband and was so happy I got fatter, we got married, and I looked like a whale in a dress at a size 22.
All through this time I have tried all the diets and slimming clubs out there, I have tried herbal tablets, tablets from the doctor and tablets from the internet costing me hundreds of pounds, they all work for a while but then I go back to my old ways.
When I quit smoking I just gave it up, stopped. I could cut it out of my life, and I thought about doing this with food for a while and re educating myself to eat correctly in maintenance and went on Cambridge, my willpower was at a low and I failed, I became ill and I failed again.
Last week I got in touch with my CDC who is the nicest person you could meet and I started again, and failed.
I cruised the web for yet another wonder diet to shift the weight and came across this forum. Whilst reading all your stories I came across Chardonnay who really inspired me and I have read all your posts and think you are doing great, I too want a baby but at 20 stone 13 lbs it just isn’t an option yet, then I came across Fat_2_Fabulous, I saw your pictures and the transformation you have undertaken and I feel like you have injected me with willpower again. Im 10 years older than you but when I read your blog it was like I was reading a page from my diary.
My life has been on hold for so long and I have sacrificed so much, I just want to live again and be happy and the stories I have read on here are giving me the power to do that.
Thank you so very much, my next weigh in is on Friday this will be my first full week one and I will get there this time.
