Hi,
I’m newbie here so please be gentle with me...I found this website purely by chance as I’m trying to find out how WW works as I’m kinda unsure where to go from here…
I decided I was going to do this last week and ordered the eating out, shopping books and the journal and they arrived yesterday… I was going to try to go to a meeting but there isn’t one locally that fits into my work so I’m going to have to do this alone and reading the book last night I am kinda a bit lost as to where to go from here and how to start…. That’s why I was searching the Internet this morning for help and found this place!!
I’ve had a bit of a lurk and seen how supportive you all seem to be and I feel that this might be the place I need to come to help me achieve this!
My doctor told me last year that I was obese and he just sent me in floods of tears :cry:as I knew I was over weight but never considered myself obese, that scared me…
So I decided after the New Year I would do something about it… and here I am… I’m 5 foot 6 and weigh 15 stone 7lb, there that’s a first because I have never openly told anyone other than my OH my weight.
I hate clothes shopping with a passion because I have a weird shape, I have a narrow waist but carry a lot of weight on my hips and bum so whenever I shop for clothes I never find something that fits me right as I have to consider my rear end … I’d love for the day that I can wear a pair of Jeans that actually fitted me at the waist rather than gathered up!
I’ve had health issues too I’ve have plantar fasciitis which is basically the arch of my foot is swollen and in pain, it hurts to walk, first thing in the morning I couldn’t put my heel on the ground because of the pain… I’m having treatment on it, which is helping, but I just know if I lose weight it’s going to make a difference.
I’m tired a lot and I don’t have much confidence, I work in a posh building with lot’s of pretty young slim women walking around and I feel so out of place, kinda like I’m Ugly Betty if you have seen the TV program you’ll get what I mean!!
Wow reading this above makes me sound like a right miserable person…. I do have a few positives too, I am a good person with a kind heart and in my spare time I make cards, it’s a big passion of mine and I have a wonderful supportive OH so I can’t be that bad!!
So now I need to work out what my ideal weight is… not too sure what is ideal?! Going to start tomorrow as my first day tomorrow as I now know how many points I can have a day thanks to this site...
If there are any tips you could give me I would really appreciate it as this is quite scary doing it on your own!
Thanks for listening!!
