Hi everybody,
I'm Amy. I'm 22 and had a bit of a shock today, bought some clothes for my holiday and discovered i'd gone up another dress size. I had a wonderful figure even after i had my daughter, but since me and my partner met 2 years ago i have gone up two dress sizes. I havent really paid any attention... I dont look at myself naked though so i was aware of the weight i'd put on, just chose to ignore it.
Anyway, thats all changed now... I'm going to alvor.in portugal on august the 30th and the week before to devon... The devon holiday isnt what im worried about though. I can't wear a bikini with my figure the way it is... My hips hang over everything and my thighs rub and wobble! My stomach needs a lot of work to. So i have around 15 weeks to lose whatever it takes to stop this happening so i can enjoy my holiday and not be.miserable.
My friends/family insist i dont need to lose any weight... I'm tall so i carry it.off well when dressed (although my upper arms are.noticeably podgy). It can be very frustrating as if im on dieting and they give me food they will completely ignore.my pleas to stick to my diet.
So ive joined this forum for support... My downfall in losing weight is laziness and alcohol on a friday then a kfc on a saturday :-\ however after trying on an outfit for.by the beach today, i am not prepares to look like this come august. My main areas i need to lose it are hips and thighs (i'm not.sure where my bums gone, my thighs appear to have eaten it)
Any tips would be greatly apreciated. Im on the slimming world diet, i lost 6 pound a few months ago but put it back on, and then some!! Too many fast food meals, cheese and carling lol.
Anyway sorry for rattling on, i guess im letting off a bit of steam, i feel a bit ashamed of myself really.
Also i have an feeling my partner is going to propose in Alvor ;-) so want to be happy.and comfortable, not lacking self esteem and miserable!
