I never thought I'd do something like an on-line diary, and I think I'll be pretty bad at keeping it up to date, but I've read so many accounts from other people that have inspired me to do this that is seems ungrateful not to add my story to the pile.
I'll be 38 next month and I need to lost about 6 stone. The main reason I want to do this is for my kids. My BMI is 40 and if I don't do anything I'll be leaving them without a mum a lot sooner than I want to.
My dad died at 62 when I was 28, my FIL died at 52 when DH was 26 (six months after we got married). Both deaths were self inflicted to a certain extent. My dad smoked from the age of 15 and drank too much beer (not an alcoholic though) and DH's dad worked too hard and had a fondness for good food and drink, so we both know what it's like to lose parents partly because of choices they made in their lives. I don't want, no I WON'T do that to my children!!
So, here I am on day 4 of SS. I'm feeling a bit less hungry than I did yesterday, have still got a really mild headache (no ketosis yet then? - really wish I had some ketostix!) and managed to do the family shop in Sainsbury's this morning without collapsing in a heap.
As I read in someone else's thread today - Onwards and downwards!
First WI on Monday.
