Hi everyone..

[londonS]

thought I'd post a thread to say hello to everyone.
I'm about 5,6 tall and 16 stones with a pretty face. ( so I'm told). I go to gym a lot and quite active so carry weight not too badly and fit in size 14/16 clothes depending on the shop.
All that said, I'm extremely self conscious and feel like fattest person alive. Never liked or enjoyed my body. Few years ago on Cambridge diet I went down to a comfortable size 12 but in my head I always remained a fat person.
it is such a head game that you lose a slight focus and off you go again. After several months of fighting my own self, I have defeated the demon and decided to address this issue once and for all.
If any of you are also starting a low carb/Cambridge/slim & save etc, please say hello and keep intouch.
My target would be to lose 4-5 stones by end of this year if not sooner. Let's go...

Hi LondonS,

I'm doing slimming world but just stopping by to say good luck getting to your goal weight. I think its takes a while to not view yourself as fat or overweight etc. When I lost 4 stone years ago and got to my goal weight, I still felt massive, wasnt until I caught my reflection in a shop window that I started feel the size I was.

best of luck x x

Do u have a fruit insfuser? I have one and I found it does help u drink more water. I find the strawberry not the best tasting and the lemon with orange is nice. Les x

 

[londonS]

Hi Les, Good idea, I think I should invest in one. Need some motivation to up my water intake.
How are you getting on?

 

[Les]
