Irish Overweight Angel's Diary

Hi Folks,
I'm 27 yrs old and 20st 6pds. I'm fed up hearing 'oh you've a beautiful face' and decided to take the plunge and try something drastic when my sister asked me on my last visit home if I'd considered having surgery and a stomach band fitted. I was so hurt but realised something needed to be done.

I've always struggled with my weight and growing up in a house with 6 skinny brothers didn't help. I still occassionally heat them call me ten ton tessy. When I look back on my teenage photos I now realise I wasn't stick thin but I wasn't massive either - despite what people led me to believe.

My mum died very suddenly 8 yrs ago and this had a massive effect on me. I managed to maintain my weight for the next couple of yrs between 12 and 14 stone but since moving to England 4 years ago to teach the weight has gradulally piled on. For too long my work has come before my life, someone told me recently if I put as much effort into my weightloss as I did my work I would reach my goal in no time.

I tried LT about a month ago but found it difficult to concentrate in work, I had an interview for a promotion and decided to come off the programme until I could commit to it 100%.

I started Lipotrim last Monday and my starting weight was 20st 6pds! Todays the day then of my first weigh in. I really hope I have a big loss as I've been so dedicated. I've been on a course where lunch was provided and I sat and sipped water when everyone else ate sandwichs and fruit around me. Last night I went to my friends housewarming and despite pressure to have a drink and food I again had water on ice followed by my last shake when I got home.

My boyfriend is doing it too which helps cause we literally have no food in the house so no need to cook and no distractions.

So off for a walk now before our first weigh in will let you know how I get on.

Start weight: 12.7.2010

Well done Angel, the fact that you have the support from your partner is fantastic and no food in the house sounds like a dream! Look forward to hearing how you are both getting on.
