Want to be a yummy mummy!
Hello old friends.....and new friends I hope!
My name is Lauren (an anagram of Unreal! haha) and Im 25...I have done the Cambridge Diet successfully twice before (or is that a complete contradiction - surely was not successful then hey!) I lost about on average 2 stone both times and felt and looked great.
I last did the diet 1 year ago, stopped about this time - just after my boyfriends birthday, didnt have the strength to carry on as I had got down to a 10/12 comfortably and didnt feel the need to carry on doing it. I got down to 10 stone 8 at my lightest, and felt incredible, I ran the race for life and the feeling was immense!
Since then, I went on a 2 week hol to Egypt in Sept and rememer getting back and weighin 11stone 4, slowly since then, I have crept up to 13 stone.
Im so ashamed, and dont want to make excuses for myself but when I got back from holiday (probably 7lbs heavier aswell?!) I got made redundant and had 6 weeks to find another job, was not successful so was at home for 4 weeks......until December! Was at that job for 3 months got made redundant AGAIN and was at home for 3.5 months! So put on so much weight due to stress etc, was a really unhappy time. Plus my boyfriend moved in in January so that always means a few lbs gained right girls?
So anyway, here I am now - completely happy with my boyfriend living with me its been 6 months now but im so fed up of myself. Im moody, always tired, snappy, stressed - negative towards people, cant stand people, dont want to do anything or be active - our sex life is completely dried up and i feel so sorry for my boyfriend who constantly tells me how much he loves me and finds me attractive - whilst i feel like a whale and dont believe him, i feel like im that 10 stone 8 person in a fat suit and its so depressing.
So, not one to sit about all my life and feel sorry for myself i have considered this for about 3 months now but always thought no way not going back on it its been twice now i will put it back on - i started to think 3rd time lucky and i need extra help of why i have no self control and no willpower and am so complacent when i have lost the weight.
I have found a new councellor who does home visits and she is a qualified CTB and hypnotherapist and even wants the form signed by the doctors so i can do SS (no my previous one didnt want this she wasnt as....thorough bless her heart) so anyway....
I have my docs appt on Friday, hopefully get the form signed, and start next Thurs (23rd!)
Gonna start drinking water this week and have cuppa soups for lunch, just to start getting used to it. No white bread and no chocolate or crisps.....dont want that 4th day headache!
Is anyone still around from last year or are you all newer faces, be great to say hi to some old, and get to know some new! I feel like a CD granny:family2: - although its changed a bit now hasnt it!
Ok im really waffing,must go and change my signature as its all wrong now and is depressing me!
Lots of love and hope you are all well....
