not giving up
Hi
Well I'm Laura and I am 29 yrs old. I have resigned myself to the fact I will never be able to eat what I like and not have to work at getting and keeping it off a long time ago. Unfortunately I am surrounded by friends who have the ability to shovel food and drink and never put on so much as an ounce. 3 girlie holidays a year watching them eat as they please in their size 8 bikinis is depressing to say the least, I love them but I could throttle them at times
After spending my teens and my early 20's in very active jobs I continued with my pattern of eating and drinking and not realising how the weight creeped on when my job started seeing me sat at a desk day in day out.
I was never a fat child and was always fed with a very healthy diet (my mum never owned a chip pan!) so as soon as I left home and bought my own house I got carried away with the freedom and discovered far too much food and alcohol.
I lost 4 and a half stone in 2008 but cutting out the rubbish following the principals of slimming world and lots of aerobics. I then slipped into the bad habit again of thinking that I could get away with eating what I wanted and not doing as much physical activity. I then gained 2 stone nearly half of what I lost gggrrr.
I chose the CWP as I like the simplicity of it that I don't have to think about what I can eat as my vicious cycle of creeping certain foods back in can't even enter into my mind at the beginning. I aim to lose 3 and half stone and more importantly keep it off!!! I lost 7lb at my first weigh in which I am so pleased about and hopefully the rest will soon come off and more importantly I can keep it off.
It is only when I start to diet that I realise what effect my weight has on me. I love fashion and I have always managed to dress in the latest trends but I find it increasingly difficult and find I pay over the odds for my clothes compared to smaller sizes and choice is limited. I am surrounded by family and friends who love me just as I am and that comfort has given me a false sense of my size for so long. I have to stress that I am doing it for me and no one else, it's that battle in my head that makes me think I can start to slip back into my old ways and I know I can't.
I am in it to win it this time and I refuse to be fat for my 30th next September 2012.
