Hi everyone! My name is Laura and I am new to this site, I signed up to Weight Watchers first week in January with good intentions. So far I have failed every week and all I am doing is gaining weight. I am really struggling to stick within my allowance and by the weekend I have given up and gobbled up all of my weekly points (oops).
So a little about me, I am 31, 5ft 2 and currently weight 11stone 3lbs and feeling like a fat cow. For the past year I managed to maintain my weight at 10 stone 3lbs, slowly the weight has crept up and I am finding myself giving up. I was always an Atkins fan and lost weight successfully each time. I have a massive carb phobia and finding the high sugar content on WW is soaring my appetite! I went on holiday in December to Cape Town for 2 weeks..the months leading up to my holiday I was low carbing for 2 months with no success on the scales (partly because I just can't lay off the booze, and you just can't drink on Atkins successfully) so anyway on my return after my holiday I decided to re train my eating habits and join Weight Watchers. So far not so good as all I can think about is eating, eating and eating! This extra stone that I am carrying around just won't budge for love nor money! I try to power walk around the park on my lunch break which is a two mile walk in 30 minutes, my sister is loosing weight successfully on WW, even my boss is on it and really supportive and losing, I have losing envy at the moment! But I know that deep down I am not really trying! How are people loosing so much in their first week? I seriously feel that the high carb content has something to do with my failure. I am guzzling water and eating loads of fruit and veggies, I take Chromium to suppress my appetite which isn't working at all! I just want to quit
Anyway, so I have decided that this is my final attempt before I give up and be a fatty for the rest of my life. I am finding it really hard as even though the scales say that I am a stone heavier I am still wearing the same clothes and practically look the same (well kinda, my face is pretty chubby right now lol) I desperately want to be 9st 7lbs for the summer months and feel good in shorts, I have no self confidence, I have been single for 4 years so when the weekend comes and the hangover is major me and my housemate tuck into comfort foods and doss in our PJ's (this is not what I signed up for).
I know I need to change my habits and lifestyle, I know I need to re program my mind set and I always start with such good intentions but it never works out! All other parts of my life are successful, I set goals and stick to them, I make plans and they happen so why can't this happen with my weight? I am sooooo desperately tired of seeing 11 stone on the scales, I am tried of feeling ugly and wobbly and I anger myself because I know that I am attractive and it's like I am purposely trying to destroy my body!
I am so so so desperate, any words of motivation would be a massive help.
Starting from tomorrow I will be on 26 pro points per day and weekly 49 points.
