Hello,
I hope I don't bore you with my story, but here goes. I am 31, a mum of two (20M and 3yrs) I have been a yoyoer for as long as I can remember, and NEVER happy with my weight. I actually don't remember when I started to get so obsessed with everything, but I have gotten to the point where I cant go a day, sometimes not even an hour without worrying about my body/weight and food. The other thing is, I do all of this but then go and eat silly stuff like bread and chocolate, and sometimes in secret too. I feel like Ive messed up my 'wiring' somewhere since having the babies, and now I just feel so overwhelmed and trapped in a diet rut that I feel like its never going to end. Still reading?
OK, So I have always been the fad dieter, Atikins, south beach, Pig to Twig, and most recently Dukan. I started out on Dukan at 12st 13lbs. I finished up before christmas 11st 6lbs and feeling in control, but christmas was a set back and I really realised how much id missed bread, pasta etc. Also, my dh is now vegetarian which meant cooking 3 meals in the evening for children, dh and myself. This is just not how I want my life to go.... slaving in kitchen from 5pm to 8pm!!
Anyway, my question to you is, with the benefit of your experience and knowledge of the SW way, do you think that this could be a positive move for me, is it realistic and do you think the group will hekp me get over my bad habits?? DH suggested therapy but wondered if wiping diet slate clean and going for something very realistic is my first port of call?
I have so many friends who are slim, or have lost weight quickly and succesfully, I can't talk to them about my issues...... Im embarrassed and fed up of feeling like a loser.
Thanks xx
