i just want to be slim..... & now lol

[sarahaglover]

Morning all. I'm sat here thinking about how I so wanna be slim (id be happy at a comfortable 14) & realised its prob the main thing I.think.about atm. Sometimes it feels like I'll never get there. Other times I feel not too far away. I know i will always have to.watch what i eat but cant wait to be where I wanna be so its not all i think about. It's weigh day tomorrow & I never look.forward to.it. I know 2lb a week would be good but I'd so love it to say half a stone lol oh why oh why do the pounds go on so easily but r such a pain to shift! Sorry moan over now lol x x x

Tell me about it, how come I can put on half a stone in a week but it takes me a month to get rid of it again? I think you have to be slightly obsessed at the beginning to keep focused and to get those losses going, it's when I stop obsessing that I lose my grip and go mad. At least we're trying!

Hiya, I know exactly where you're coming from and I feel exactly the same! It's constantly on my mind and I wish sometimes I could just press a 'boost button' and lose a great load like 7 pounds in a week, instead of the 1 to 2lb I normally lose or (heaven forbid) stopping the same. Sometimes I feel so strong and other times I worry about how much further I have to go. I prefer it when i have my strong, sensible head on!

Do you have much further to go to get into your size 14? My short term goal is a 16 before my Majorca holiday at the beggining of August, then to just get back on board when I return from that and carry on with the healthy eating.

It's constantly on my mind too and I've always given up in the past because it takes forever to come off. I'm determined to presevere this time though because at the end of it all, even if it takes months, I'm gona be a completely different, healthier and more confident person, rather than the insecure chubby person stuffing her face and then feeling fat. It seems so pointless sometimes making the effort when you feel it's not paying off and you aren't changing, but the bottom line is, if we are eating less junk and exercsing more, we WILL lose weight, even if it is just 2lb at a time, and we will reap the benefits of it at the end - just stick at it!

That's brilliant, that's my elusive first goal to get into a 16 as it's the national average and I've got it in my head how much I want it! Right now I'm in an 18 in tops and can do up a pair of size 18 work trousers but need to lose a few more lbs as at the mo I'm shoehorning myself into them lol. I've come down from wearing a 22/24 (Evans sizes) in tops and a 22 in trousers. To get my first top (size 18) in the regular range at Tescos was fantastic and I can't wait to be able to get 16's and eventually smaller sizes. Don't worry about your BMI right now and just concentrate on your own personal achievements. I'm not thinking about my BMI cos mine is still very high and I know it would just stress me so I'm trying to just go down in bite size chunks so to speak and not worry about the bigger picture for now
