Hello - in for the long haul

[MissHattie]

Hello. I used to be on minimins a few years ago as somewhereinsideisme and made a start with LL losing just over 3 stones. In 2009 I had an accident and basically regained it all as I sat on my bum feeling sorry for myself. Several forays into WW SW and other diets over the past three years but always short-lived and back to my plateau over around 275lbs.

I have hesitated to rejoin the site. But I know I need the support so here I am! Currently on Exante TS in a pre Xmas blitz and aiming to get to target of about 140lbs by my 50th birthday in March 2014.

You have the right attitude. Health is always long term

Thank you. I am full time carer for my Mum and I am finding my weight a problem - fatigue and simply getting into spaces to do stuff for her. So this time I must stick to it, to help her and so that I do not become ill myself.

You must do it for yourself , for your mum yes but most importantly you! You cannot help anyone else if you cannot help yourself. Its a hard lesson for us women to learn I think. Good luck Hon:gen126:

Yes, I know. It is a hard lesson. But I have realised over the years that it does have to be for me, regardless of what other people want or what I think will please them. And that I need to set my own goals and not be pushed into accepting second best - you'll never be slim, why don't you just try to get down to X st etc. I know it is a long journey, even on a VLCD, but while I have interim targets I will get down to a normal healthy weight for my height.
