Determination is Key
Okay so I've decided to start a food diary. I don't promise to write in here every day, but when I do write, I promise to write every morsel... good or bad!
Here's a bit about me. I'm 28 years old, and I've never been thin, nor even close to thin. At 16 I weighed 12 stone, and ballooned up to a size 20 after I had my first child. I've tried all sorts to get my weight down in the past, but I don't think my head was in the game, and the lowest I've managed to get down to is a size 16 (before joining SW I hadn't weighed myself in years, so I went purely by dress size!).
Since meeting my partner, I went from a size 16 all the way up to a 22-24. He's an eater. I'm an eater. Together we're a total food destruction team.
My pivotal point was an ordinary day. I went out for lunch and shopping with my friend, and realised when I walked into what I would term a "skinny shop", and absolutely stuck to her like a shadow, lest anyone think to themselves, "what in the hell is SHE doing in here?!", and walked around for the day pretty much hunched over, tugging at my clothes the whole time, that it was time to do something. That I actually, finally, and honestly WANTED to do something about my weight. Always before I knew I HAD to do something about it, but I was happy enough munching away on crisps and chocolate, and being fat and loved. But now... now I wanted to do something, I wanted to lose weight. I wanted to be slim.
So I joined SW the very next meeting, and haven't looked back since. Of course I have my good days and bad days. The bad days are usually after WI, lol, and the good days are sprinkled around that.
So far I've lost 35lb, and have 90lb left until I reach my 9stone target. Exactly half of my starting weight of 18stone.
So.. this is me...and this is my food diary. I hope to be out of the really big knickers soon
