Heya,
Long story but I did the Cambridge diet 5 years ago and all together I lost 10 stone. It caused me several health problems including getting very nervy. I have never quite been the same. Through several huge life changes (including divorce/moving to a completely new area and finally meeting and now living with a great guy I am thoroughly happy with) I have put 6 stone back on and feel so unhappy in myself even though I am otherwise soo happy. I have tried WW and SW but can't really afford them and find SW too limited at times.
After having a serious bout of flu over Xmas I have been unable to take part in my usual spinning classes (though I plan to in a couple of weeks) and am at my wits end.
So I have begun down the calorie counting route. I started on Monday and am using MyFitnessPal. I have stuck to it all week but am finding it really difficult tonight as it is a Saturday (but I have stuck to it!).
I have the following goals in place-
Get into my jeans I could wear a few months ago (to start with)
No alcohol until my birthday in a few weeks time
Drink a pint of water with every meal
Get back to the gym on 21st Jan
No eating at work (I go home for lunch)
Ultimately my goal is to get into my lovely clothes I bought when I lost the weight before.
Please can someone give me reassurance and abit of encouragement. Can't believe I am doing this again.
To top it all off, at work I am surrounded by skinny girls constantly complaining they are fat! It upsets me as I think "if you are fat then what am I?"
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond
