Hey you guys!
So my name is Lucie, I'm a 20 year old uni student and my weight has been a massive problem for about 7 years. I am a comfort eater and I use food to reward and punish myself.. well I used to but not anymore as of yesterday!!! I have tried diet and diet and after and failed. I even did weight watchers last year for just 2 weeks but never gave it my full attention and was guessing points etc but I am now 100% focused now and I know I can do it! Just like all of you can
I did a meal replacement plan (Cambridge diet) at the end of August and managed to lose a stone in 2 weeks... I was delighted with my loss but even after a few days of eating normally I could feel the weight going back on and when I weighed in at WW yesterday I had gained 9 of the 14 pounds!! I was desparate at the time to lose a lot before I went back to uni but I know the only way to sustain your losses long term is to eat less and move more!
I want something that doesn't deprive me of anything and that will allow me to enjoy my life so I know WW is the place for me! I am just so sick of my weight controlling my life. I want to be able to ask for a smaller size, not a bigger one. I want to be able to borrow my friend's clothes. I want to stop making excuses for going to social occassions because I feel too fat. I just want to start living my life the way a twenty year old should, because right now I am only exsisting.
So I went to my first meeting yesterday and was really nervous going back because I had failed before. But the moment I got in the door I knew I had done the right thing and everyone was so welcoming! I weighed in at 14'10 so have a pp allowance of 35 and was actually delighted that I wasn't over the 15 stone mark because I thought I would have been as I've been bingeing a lot recently. I also joined my college rowing team last week and it has been great!! I have never liked sports or exercise before but I love it! I have training 4-6 times a week which consists of cycling, rowing and running (well I half walk/jog) so I know it will be a great help with my weight loss!
I've a few things coming up next year which I really want to be at goal for! I'm studying to be a secondary school teacher and I have teaching practice for 2 months in March. My weight has destroyed my confidence and I want to be able to stand up at the top of a class and not be self conscious. I am also turning 21 in April and my dream would be to feel amazing that night! And next August I have a holiday in Spain and a wedding to go to... So I better get going!
