Loves Slimming world!!
Hello all!!!
I have been on her for a while now and looking through other peoples diaries on here has given me so much inspiration that I thought I should maybe write my own!
So where to begin??
Well I guess I should introduce myself. I am Jo!! I am 26 recently married with a 7yr old son. I haven’t always been what you would call big but I rapidly started to put on weight after the birth of my son. You would think the fact he is now 7 I would of came to the decision to lose weight before now. Well I did I recently lost 2 stone for my wedding in August past there but then I went completely off the rails while in Vegas for honeymoon and gained 1 stone back I think in the months that have past since then my whole healthy eating plans went out the window as we settled into married life!!
The breaking point came 3 weeks ago when I went to go on a night out with all my girl friends and I realised I had nothing to wear. This would have been bad enough if I didn’t have to then endure the awful trip to the shops to try and find something!! I ended up going out in a horrible smock style top. Now anyone who knows me knows this is not my style at all so I felt uncomfortable all evening!!! I have always been bigger than my friends but this has never stopped me from have a great time with them on nights out. I guess what I’m trying to say is it never bothered or got in my way before. This night was different though I just sat there all night feeling like an outsider in my own circle of friends. I was too ashamed to even get up and dance for the fear that anyone would comment. The next day I woke up and resolved to join slimming world again as I know this is always something that has worked for me in the past.
So the Monday night came and I was excited to join and start my journey again. What I couldn’t believe was that in the 2 and half months since my wedding I had managed to go from 16stone 10 to 18 stone 5. I nearly feel off the scales I just was so shocked I had managed to gain so much so quickly. I did know something for sure though and that was that I would never weigh that much again!!!! I went home determined to have an excellent first week. And that exactly what I did when I returned a week later I had lost a whooping 7.5lbs!!! I was delighted!!!
I don’t care how long my journey takes but I know I will get there in the end, and who knows maybe along the way I will learn to dance again!!!!!!!!
