Hello...
I have been reading all the diaries on here and am finding them so helpful and inspirational! Now I've posted a few times and feel a bit braver I thought I would start one of my own!
My name is Kate and I am a serial dieter...I have fallen off the SW and WW wagon so many times and even tried CD a few years, I lost but put it straight back on.
In the last 3 years I have piled on the lb's, I have hidden behind my 'big and bubbly' personality for far to long and my self confidence has taken a nose dive in the last 12 months. I hate my appearance, feel uncomfortable in everything I wear and have started walking like I'm 62 not 32 because my weight makes my short fat hairy legs buckle under the pressure lol!! I'm sick of being told "yes but you've got a lovely face" I want to feel confident, comfortable and sexy!!!
I have a fabulous son, 9 and a wonderful OH who is very supportive bless him. I know he is proud of me doing this and that helps a lot! We plan to get married but their is no chance whatsoever that I would do it looking as I do!
My starting weight is 22st 7.5lb's wow what a whopper lol!!!
I can't face thinking of it as needing to loose 10+ stone so my first target is to fit into a size 18 , I'm size 24 at the moment.
Because of my BMI my CDC advised me to begin on SS+ well I wasn't keen, I feel that taking food out of the equation is the way forward for me, at the moment anyway! I started last Tuesday (15.05.12) and was 100% until Friday evening when I had chicken, salad and some baby new potatoes. I felt crap...like a bit horrible failure, vowed not to do it again but promptly did it again last night, (Saturday). If that wasn't enough I scoffed some popcorn my son hadn't finished :sigh:
Really annoyed with myself, I was thinking that because of my starting weight I may well do almost 1 stone in the first week and that would really motivate me to keep going. I'm not ketosis this morning and it's WI tomorrow so god knows what the scales will say.
I'm not going to do my usual though and think sod it and stuff my face all day lol. I'm going to go and get loads of sparkling water to drink today to flush those evil carbs out and get my butt back into ketosis.
It feels quite liberating writing all this down!!! I'm so glad this site is here for support from so many like minded people who all battle with their food demons as I do! It really makes you realise that your not the only one, this diet does work and we can reach our goals!!!
