Well, last summer I weighed 17st... then in August I split up from my partner. I have lost just over three stone, from a combination of cooking less (no motivation to cook for myself), stress (often not felt like eating too much) and making an effort to keep it up when I realised I was losing weight.
I am now 13st 12 lbs, and want to get down to about 10st10, to 11 stone. I'm about 5ft 7, but have a large frame, and felt my best when at this weight in my early 20s.
Now I need to find the motivation to carry on, and also to try and eat more healthily... I know that I haven't always been doing that over the last few months.
This forum seems like a supportive and inspirational community, and I hope I can continue to lose weight, whilst regaining some sort of normality in my eating patterns - I need to find the motivation to cook for one! I find eating alone rather depressing to be honest, and really enjoy cooking for other people - so I tend to eat best when I have visitors, or go out to eat.
I lost a few stone about five years ago, when I had gallstones, and avoided anything over 5% fat, and I'm wondering whether thats what I should do again now...
Any thoughts appreciated!
