Hi everyone, I'm new to this site so thought I would start my own diary to get me through my diet! I will apologise for the long winded first entry now!
I started LT last Monday but not had my first weigh in yet due to visiting my girlfriend who lives 4 hours away. I started out at 19st 9llbs and will be having my first WI on Saturday. My mum is also doing it so we are supporting one another.
The reason I chose LT is because I am sick of being in this state. I'm quite an active person and could never understand why I kept piling on the pounds, having one meal a day apparently does that to you! I want to get as much off as possible by July as this is when I graduate from uni. I also want to piss my cheating ex off.... So you could say I have quite a lot of motivation!
Over the past 5 years I have been in and out of hospital starting with one problem which then lead on to a number of other problems. During this time I was also part of a long term (and what I thought, happy) relationship. My weight just kept increasing due to stress plus my ex never wanted me to lose weight...wonder why! Anyway I was cheated on and lost a lot of weight due to not eating and general heart break. After almost a year I met my current gf and couldn't be happier, but with happiness came the food! My weight ballooned up to the biggest I've ever been so now is the time to get it shifted again.
Basically I need to change my attitude towards food, I love food but think I need to retrain my brain that little and often would be best suited to me. My hope is that by the end of LT I will be reconditioned enough to keep losing on a healthy eating plan.
Today has been sooo tough which is weird as yesterday I was completely fine watching my gf's little niece chow down on a KFC. Yet today, in my own company, I'm struggling. I'm going to down some more water and get my soup sorted, hopefully this will help!
Anyway I look forward to my first weigh in, think I need it to give me that extra boost! X
