Hi everyone. As the title says, I’m back for the third time! My weight has been a problem my whole life. I started my weight loss journey at 24st in 2007 by eating very few calories and I even ended up only eating baby food for a while (not a good idea!), then when I was struggling to lose any more weight at over 17st I started the cambridge diet. I got down to 12st but it was a tough time for me. It was fantastic that the weight was falling off but I was so miserable. My skin went grey and my hair started to thin quite dramatically. The low energy levels made everything much harder and i was always tired. Going out to socialise was hard. Christmas dinner of a shake was not fun! Then as I was approaching 12st the weight loss slowed right down and I made the decision to come off when I was stuck at 12st. Then the weight just started to go up and didn’t stop. Since then I’ve been constantly dieting but nothing is working for me. I’ve tried many diets, calorie counting, paleo, 5:2, 16:8, 18:6(eating in a 6 hour window), healthy eating, only eating soup and only having one meal a day.
This time I’m going to plan to have one meal a day (as I’m chronically ill and that’s all I can really manage at the moment) and eat healthy, unprocessed food and only drink water. If I feel hungry I will eat something else but I will stick to a 4 hour window. I need to do this for my health and happiness, as both are not doing very well. No weighing for me this time round, just measuring multiple areas every week.
Sorry for rambling on. Hope everyone is well and I look forward to meeting old and new faces and seeing everyone’s journeys.
