I've been reading everyone's inspirational diaries and thought I ought to start one for myself.
I was always slim at school and looking back at pictures when I was 16 it makes me sad to see I had lovely legs!
I started slowly putting on the weight after I left school and it has been a struggle to lose it since.
My mum is very slim and always said to me whenever I ate something naughty 'that'll go straight to your bum!!!' I guess I never thought I would struggle with my weight. We all know that eating healthily and exercise keeps us fit, but I have a bad sweet tooth. I just love chocolate!!
I got married in 1999 and had my first child in the August. I definately ate for two! Looking back at pics I was huge. I lost a little of the baby weight, but then became pregnant again in 2000.
After having my second child in 2001 I was on a mission. I lost tons of weight and was between a 10-12. (Slimmer than I was at school!) I did this through SW and with the help of a personal trainer. I felt great and looked amazing. Unfortunately it all went back on again, my own fault. I stopped the exercise and started eating rubbish.
A couple of months after having my son I was diagnosed with post natal depression which did'nt help my weight.
In 2003 I had my third child. By this time I had tried SW on many occassions, but failed and also tried Rosemary Connelly.
In 2009 my husband and I separated. I felt a huge weight had been lifted as he was quite a controlling influence in my life. I moved into a flat with my three children and started living again.
I started to go out a lot which inevitably involved copious amounts of alcohol and late night takeaways!
Now I find myself approx 6st heavier than I would like to be. The idea of losing a pound or two a week really got me down. I heard of a mum at school losing a lot of weight so decided to ask for her advice. She told me she had used Lipotrim and lost 6st. She looks amazing.
I'm so fed up of buying bigger clothes and want to look in the mirror and like what I see.
Over the past year I have met quite a few men and realised that I have been looking for someone to make me happy. However I now know that I have to love myself before I can even think of letting anyone one else close.
So off I went to the local chemist and ordered in my first weeks supply. I started on 18th June.
I am now into my third week and my body feels great, really healthy. I suppose its like a bit of a detox with the amount of water i'm drinking!
So far i've lost 13lbs, just a pound away from a stone and my friends are all shocked and pleased for me.
I'm so glad I have found minimins as everybody's support is keeping me going. I am trying not to think too hard about how long it is going to take, but taking it a week at a time.
I have set myself a few mini goals and joined up for two challenges. I have also made myself a poster with a list of goals and put it on my bedroom wall. Everytime I hit a goal I have been marking it off.
I am going to a wedding in late July and have seen a beautiful dress, but i'm waiting to buy it in a smaller size.
I havn't found it too hard so far as I think its best I can't eat a thing and have to be strict otherwise I'm only cheating myself.
I hope I havn't bored you all!!!!
