Hi All
Have been debating for a couple of weeks about whether to start a diary after seeing so many inspirational ones while browsing minimins
What spurred me on was my weight gain at meeting last night in my third week of slimming world for no apparent reason, which then spiralled into an indian takeaway, wine, an iced doughnut and a kitkat - I should still be happy I have lost 6 and a half pounds in three weeks but I followed my usual pattern:cry:
I hope that if I post my food on here then people will be able to tell me if I am going wrong and I can use it to look back at successful weeks for motivation
I am 32 years old and have a partner (who isn't exactly motivational with my weight loss attempts) and a five year old son
I have tried various different diets over the years - and 8 years ago I managed to get to target with weight watchers before a holiday to new york (hence the 24 year old me!!!)
I met my partner a year after that and have been piling on weight ever since and now have six stone to lose
I joined Slimming World at the beginning of 2011 and lost 1 and a half stone in 12 weeks but due to financial circumstances I couldn't continue classes, I tried going it alone but after a few weeks old habits started creeping in and I have now pretty much put it all back on
So three weeks ago I joined Slimming World again with my mum, hoping her support and the group's support would spur me on to lose this weight for good
Well that's me and I hope even if nobody reads this that it will help me along - I don't care how long this takes but I need to do this for me and my family!!!!
