Hi,
Im Lizzie, a 47 year old mother of one (a son, 11 years old with ADHD and Aspergers).
At the end of August 2012 I started at Slimming World, weighing in at 14stone 5lb, Im 5 feet and 3 inches, despite telling the Leader I was 6 foot. Anyway, by Christmas 2012 I had lost 2 stone and by last Christmas I had 4 pounds to go to the magical 10stone target weight.
Guess what, Ive put about 2 stone back on. I just cannot get my head right. Things with my son are difficult and I am feeling really stressed and basically useless but I am hating how I look, how things that were comfy last year are tight again, I feel like I have failed and let myself down.
How do I get past this blip, very long blip though, its been since Spring. I need to find my mojo and quickly before I find the other 2 stone odd that Ive lost. Any advice would be gratefully received. Ive even taken to purging to try and shed when Ive had a binge and I know from previous experience that that will only mess up my head even more.
Thanks everyone
