hey
congrats on ur engagement. i am in the same boat!! we know when we wanna get married but haven't set a date and i want to lose 5 stone!!!! my OH is a lucky sod as he can stuff his face with fast food, takeaway, fizzy, crisps,choc and i swear i dont know where it goes!! sooooo unfair.
anyway i am a nightmare with dieting... i have tried them all... lipotrim (meal replacement...yuck!)weight watchers, atkins, zone, even healthy eating hehehe!!lol
decided last week gotta do something about it though and while chatting to one of my clients she recommended slimming world. i have kinda sworn off these kind of diets/plans as they can only work for so long but another of my clients has just lost 5stone on slimming world...naturally i was interested! problem comes as i work very long hours maintaining my business so i dont have time to attend classes. my client then produced some SW books that she used to use. said i could have them if i would try but if not to give them her back.
that was a week and 2days ago... i made a choice to have a go it seemed pretty straight forward. i am 3lbs lighter, not fely hungry once and more importantly not craving!! i have found its more a case of making a alternative choice as opposed to solid willpower.
anyway i know u said u cant do diets but neither can i...! give it a try... if u need support go to the meetings. im not saying its gonna always be this easy for me but to still be trying 9days in is a record for me!!!
i am not letting myself even look at wedding dresses until i am at least 3 stone lighter!! that is my reward!!! find something important to yourself and use it!!
anyway hope this helps and good luck whatever you choose!
