Hi, I'm 31 mother of 2 boys and I signed up to SW last week. Over the last 4 years I've gained over 6st and have had my head buried in the sand regarding my weight gain. I've excused myself blaming my mental illnesses and my medications, but in reality I eat too many fry ups, takeaways, crisps and chocolate, drink far too much lager and hardly exercise.
The turning point came a few weeks ago when my 5 year old saw a picture of me 4 years ago and didn't recognise me because I am so much bigger now. I admit that prior to gaining so much weight I didn't follow a healthy diet but had suffered bulimia for 14 years, so I have never had a good, healthy relationship with food. I am determined to get down to a healthy weight though and a size that I am comfortable with rather than ashamed of and disgusted by like at the moment, but will do it healthily. I'm hoping slimming world enables me to achieve this and once I'm there to maintain it and not fall back to old habits.
I would also like to incorporate some exercise into my lifestyle so my heart can be healthy.
Thanks for reading xx
