Hi all,
I am a returner. I lost 10st 7lbs a couple of years ago, with the motivation of marrying in a beautiful wedding dress. Fast forward a year and a half and I have put on more than 4 stones :,(.
I have excuses - I have had various gynaecology problems which have resulted in hormone imbalance (craved carbs), anaemia, terrible pain (only addressed by Ben and Jerry's) etc and I have had a hysterectomy 3 weeks ago.
However the majority of my weight gain is due to lack of self control. I had gotten to a point where I felt beautiful and slender, and kept thinking oh this won't hurt, I'll have a bit of that, I've been without for such a long time etc etc. then I got Ill and I ate to feel better.
As I am post op I am wearing track suit bottoms and baggy tops ( size 16), as I have put on this weight so quickly most of my clothes are a 12 which I can't fit into anymore. No one can rock track suit bottoms - am feeling super rubbish.
When I was losing weight before I promised myself a pair of Levi's in a size 10 when I got to goal, but never quite got there. I am 40 this year (dec) and that's what I want for my birthday. Is it possible? Hell yes!
So starting weight last weds is 15 10 cry. I have set my goal as 9st 12.
I'm hoping to try the new simply filling to begin with as I can't seem to stick to portions at the moment (I will work in self control). Can't get to classes ATM and want to save money whilst not at work so will be going from American SF list unless I find the English version.
Starting this diary to make myself accountable
