Hiya 
:wavey:
I've been debating about doing my own diary for a week or so now, especially after reading so many wonderful diaries that truly inspire me and make me feel like I'm not alone. I don't comment, I'm a bit of a lurker lol but hopefully I can change that!!
So a little about me I guess, I'm 28, live with my boyfriend of 2 almost 2years and I weigh 17 st 13lbs right now (god that sounds so much!!)
I started gaining weight at around 14/15 when my stepdad died, my life as I knew it completely changed, I suddenly had to take care of my 2 younger sisters and my mum who went into complete meltdown. I know now that I never dealt with my own grief and emotional state at the time as I was so focused on being strong and keeping everything going. We ate healthily as a family but I would eat in secret in my room every night (comfort eating I suppose).
I wasn't huge, I was a size 14/16 when I met my first boyfriend at 16, and if truth be told he changed me again, I'll always be thankful for that, I changed from being very shy and socially awkward, thinking I was very unattractive and just didn't really like myself at all. He brought me out of myself, made me feel beautiful and like I could achieve anything. We spilt up when I was 20, but he honestly saved me from myself! That sounds ever so dramatic!! lol
So back to the present day, I am a very outgoing person, very sociable but can be shy still with new people (hence why I don't comment too much on other diaries lol)...but all in all I am happy with who I am, just not the body I am in lol......Contentment has a lot to answer for I tell ya!...Since meeting my boyfriend 2 years ago I have put on 2 stone at least, everything we do seems to involve food or drinking (or both!), especially in the beginning when we would eat out 3 times a week, and his best friend runs a pub so we would often go there at weekends!!
ANYWAY......I've been doing slimming world from home for just over 3 weeks now and lost 9.5 lbs, which I am over the moon about but as I am doing it from home, I find myself slacking a little when it comes to writing my food diary and synning things properly so I figured even if no one reads this it will help me to focus on writing it each day and I can also ramble on about anything else I may find to, um, ramble about?!..........
Sorry for such a long post!!
