Hello
I just wanted to say and introduce myself. I am a foodaholic! I love food and I love eating!
Eating is definitely linked to my emotions, I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I am happy, anxious, worried, nervous, bored and excited!
However, I have decided that enough is enough. I am not 'dieting' but I am going to make healthier choices and I am going to move more. This is not just for now, this has to be for life. I can not spend any more time feeling disappointed about my weight.
This month I turned 30 and I know now is the time to change. I am happilly married and my weight holds me back, I hate the effect it has on my confidence. I don't want to feel or look this way when I turn 31.
I have been overweight my entire adult life. In 2009 I became engaged and knew I wanted to slim down for our wedding, so I began weight watchers and lost 2st and whilst I was very happy with how I looked, I was still 11lbs off of my target on my wedding day and i'd had plenty of time to hit target! After the wedding I was determined not to undo all of my hard work however, that did not go to plan. I think I just crazily assumed that I would not put the weight back on, although I was eating whatever I wanted and was not even pretending to watch what I ate. Now I'm quite embarrassed and a little ashamed to say that in the 15 months since our wedding I have put on 4.5st!!!!!
Now I know this will take time and will not be easy but I know I can do it.
I only ever want to put on weight in the future, when my husband and I decide to start a family. Until then I want to work hard on getting healthier. I want to be an active mum, not a mum that can't chase around after her kids because I'm too unfit and tired. At the moment the 2 flights of stairs at work leave me embarrassingly breathless.
I have chosen slimming world this time round, I did it about 6 years ago and had good results until I binged at christmas, put on 9lbs in one week and never went back due to the shame! Also a good friend is following the plan so it will be nice to have someone on side, she is doing brilliantly. I have one friend who is at target after losing 5.5st and another who has lost 6st and is still going strong. These guys have really inspired me. Also, if I am lucky enough to fall pregnant then I can carry on with the slimming world plan.
I am not going to be attending the meetings, but I will be able to get plenty of support from my husband, friends and hopefully here.
Monday is going to be my weigh in day and I actually started 23/1/12, so my first week is up and weigh in is in the morning! Eeekkk
I don't always get on the computer as much as I like but I am going to try to get on here regularly. I have already been stealing menu's and idea's.
Ok well I best get get off of here now, as I've rambled on longer than intended, I just wanted to say hi, especially as i've begun to comment on threads here and I didn't want anyone to wonder who the heck I was! lol
I hope to speak to some of you more soon.
Hope you all have a great week x
