Hi guys. A little about me.
Im 38, divorced and have three great kids. My eldest son is 20, my youngest son is 4, and my daughter has just gone 2.
I use food as an emotional crutch (usually chocolate) and I also eat when Im bored. Yes, believe it or not with 2 varmits under 5 I still have time to mope - admittedly this happens when they have gone to bed and im embarking on my evening ritual of curling on the sofa with various programs on sky plus, a cup of hot tea and my best friend (no names but it is in a purple wrapper with red writing)
I was a chubby kid, I had my first son really young, ballooned in my pregnancy with him and as a result within 6 months of him being born I went down to a teeny size 8. 20 years on my weight has crept back. Ive managed to loose the weight of my subsequent pregnancies but try as I might I cant get the scales to shrink back past 13.5 stone.
I know when I was at my skinniest I still never saw myself that way. Only know when I look at old pics I realise how small I was. Over the years I believe this is why the weight has crept on and hasnt really bothered me. Ive decided that I dont want to be a fatty in my 40's. Im 40 in April 2014 and I want to skip into that monumental age wearing a pair of size 12's.
My only concern about losing weight is perhaps the risk of more wrinkles on my face. You see folks, you never see a wrinkly balloon. I may be podgy but I still have a streak of vanity about me. Im quite proud my skin looks decent considering my age, and I regularly get mistaken for being in my late 20's early 30's which is lovely. However I dont want to be the fat petra pan!
My weigh ins are on a Thursday. Last week I lost 6.7lb. Brilliant.
Incidentally I found the porridge an effective wallpaper paste, I had two spoons then it went in the bin. Ick!
Im working my way through the shakes but in fairness Im biding my time for mix-a-mousse and the bars (which I get this week) Cant wait!
So thats me in a fruit and nut shell. Im in it for the long haul. My goal is 70kg as I was 66kg at my skinniest and I reckon that will look right on my frame. For the record I think Body Mass Index is a load of bollox. Thats geordie for rubbish by the way.
Trah for now.
