Hi everyone!
I am a SW returnee after a 2.5 year absence... My avatar is me the summer after I left SW (without getting to target) when I was about 10.5 stone - and I'd love to be back there for a start! A combination of moving in with my boyfriend and having my hormones played with last year has led to a gain of over 2 stone in just a year. I've got to the point where my friends are getting married and I hate myself in every single photo - when really I'd love to want to keep some of them as such good memories of fab times together.
I had a really low period a few months ago where everything felt really bleak and out of control. One of the biggest sources of my unhappiness was just hating myself so slowly but surely I've been tackling it one bit at a time. Work started running Spinning classes (the ones on stationary bike-type-things) and I am determined that I'm going to get really good at them! I've stuck with them since August and have noticed a real improvement in my fitness. I wasn't losing any weight doing them but my shape changed so much that a skirt I'd bought when classes started literally fell off me 6 weeks later! One challenge well underway, I decided it was time to return to SW...
Last time I did SW my weight loss was painfully slow and I got really disheartened at 0.5-1lb losses each week. Women who'd joined the same week as I had were getting their 1 stone aware before I'd even got my 1/2! Eventually a load of stuff went wrong (lots of boy stuff) and I just stopped going to group. Silly me!
This time I seem to have really hit my stride so far, and I want to keep it that way! So, here goes a food diary to help me me accountable to people allll week and remember that not losing is not the end of the world!
I'll check in later with day 1...
