Hi all, hope you don't mind if I join you?
I've been sitting reading some of the truly inspirational threads on this forum to try and divert me from rushing into the kitchen to stuff my face :sigh:
I had lost 5 stone until earlier this year (using first LL and then CD) and was under 21 stone for the first time in over 10 years! This morning I am 24 stone exactly :cry:
I have been trying to get back on the treadmill for weeks now but have finally been prompted to do so by the fact that my diabetes seems to be getting worse (lots of low blood sugar moments induced by too much refined carbs) and also by my other half telling me a 'funny' story.......At the weekend he went out with his mates and was talking to a young woman that he knows vaguely. This is not a problem, he's a big boy and I trust him! The problem was the 'funny' bit of the story. He apparently told this girl that he liked the dress she was wearing and then said 'it's from Jane Norman isn't it?' at which point she was amazed 'cos it was, and all his mates took the micky out of him for knowing that! My problem with this was the Jane Norman dress and the fact that for the last 10 years I haven't fitted in anything from that shop, and indeed many many others, except a ruddy handbag!!
Anyway, the upshot of this is that I am definitely back on the diet. I want to be able to wear the clothes that I actually want to wear, not just what will fit and looks ok-ish. I've still got some shakes and soups left and am wondering whether to go back to CD or just to buy some on-line 'cos I do feel like I need a break from food and I know that it does work for me and balances the diabetes.
Just thought I'd introduce mayself and say 'Hi' to everyone I know that I will be using this group for support and I hope that I hope I shall soon have an inspirational story of my own
