Hi all.
I have lost count on the amount of times that i have tried to lose weight. I wasnt always big but when I was around 14/15 it started to pile on without me noticing. I have always eaten regardless of how I felt. If i was happy or something good happened I treated myself. If something bad happened I comforted myself with food. If I was bored I ate. Everything related back to food. I have joined slimming world twice and the first time it worked a treat i had lost about a stone and a half and was beginning to start feeling comfortable in my own skin again and then I became complacent and stopped following the plan. Then I rejoined last year but for one reason or another (college pressures and money) I gave up again. I hadnt been following the plan properly so I just quit instead of trying to get back on track. then this year I had set myself a new goal and once again I failed. I self sabotage all the time and my will power goes out the window. And quite frankly I am tired of this cycle so thats why I am here.
I want to change my mind once and for all. I have the tools I know how to lose weight and when I use them it always works. its my mind i need to keep straight i need to keep motivated. I believe if I come on here and say exactly how i feel and keep track of how i am doing I will be able to stay motivated. I dont want to let myself down again and i think that is what has changed this time. I need to do it this time for me not anyone else. So im back following the plan myself without the meetings (i know the plan inside out at this stage)
wish me luck! and best of luck on all of your journeys.
ps i got back on track 4 days ago and with my sneak peek this morn I'm down 4lbs (that just goes to show just how many calories i was eating daily before because I am following the plan and allowing myself a few treats )
