Hi everyone,
I'm 26 years old from South Wales. I'm doing Slimming World from home using a combination of my Mams old books and Google. I don't go to classes, I'm a student and I can't afford it!
I have had health problems this year that have all been made worse by my weight gain. I have had cervical cancer, gallstones, fibromyalgia and asthma all in the last few years. My weight gain started when I had a car accident and couldn't walk for a long time. I had to leave my job and I was bored and in pain for around eight months before I was able to get my life back together. So how did I fill my time? Eating. Just pure greediness. I am ashamed when I think back of how much I used to eat, but for me at the time it was normal. It's only now I've re-evaluated everything I can see how out of control I was.
Thankfully, I have my life back on track now. I am in my third year of Uni, I have my own place and I'm engaged to a great guy. I hope to become a teacher after I graduate. There is just one thing that holds me back and that is my weight. I am just over 5ft and weigh 17st and wear a size 24 on the bottom and a 20 on top. I am fed up with it now and have decided to finally do something about it. I am doing Wii Fit every day aswell for a minimum of 30 mins and so far have lost 4lb this week.
I tried Slimming World before and was doing really well but I slipped off track once and never got back into it. Doesn't help either that my fiance is a baker and always cooking up delicious treats. But he is doing it with me now and slowly getting into it!
I feel like my weight is the last reminder of my past and I want it gone so I can move forward with my new life.
Sorry I've talked too much but I'm chopsy.
Hoping to pick up some tips here and get some support. I've been lurking for a few months now but never had the courage to join.
So here goes.....
