Determined to succeed ...
I'm not sure how it happened - I caught sight of Pauline Quirke and her '6 stone weight loss' when I was checking my mail on AOL. I found myself [unusually] following the link and her speaking of 'lighter life'. Now being a girl on a budget [which of us isn't now a days] my google searches led me to the £70+ per week price tag but a posted note mentioning a more manageable £30+ Lipostrim. I reluctantly looked up the details and the 'participating pharmacies' in my area - convinced of course that no one close would offer the service and found to my surprise that a Pharmacist just 4 miles away did.
Yesterday I found myself in the town - I was going to pay some money into the Building Society next door and ...... I found myself wandering in and ....... plucking up the courage to speak to the [male] pharmacist. Next I know, I was explaining a few medical blips that I thought would exclude me [No - that's fine] and having filled in the forms and been attended to by his female assistant I came out 'signed up, and rearing to go!
Don't get me wrong - I've struggled with my weight all my life - I'm the traditional yo-yo. I can loose it but don't seem to be able to maintain it for long. It's only a year ago I went to the Chelsea Flower show in a dress that I would struggle to get my right thigh into now [well almost!!!] and I don't really know how and why I ended up back to needing to loose 67lb [again!]
Anyway - I have to get my head in the right place before I'm able to loose weight. I'm there now. This diet wil be a struggle for me because I don't really like the shakes, but I have to take it one meal and one day at a time. a means to an end [and I'm hoeing they'll grow on me ... not literally you understand!!]
I'm going to keep this diary to remind me how dreadfull I felt about myself having crept back up to 15:07.0, How I felt along the way, what I battled and how [with so much help from others] I managed to overcome the difficulties.
I'm sure there will be highs and lows but I really want to be able to wear the nice cloths I have and to not feel so self concious about myself.
Still, one day at ta time. I didn't get to be the size I am again in a day so I won't be able to put it right in a day ! I can only stick to the rules each day - None of us can do more...
Anyway - we're all here 'journey - ing' together - Let's make every day count!
Day 1 [yesterday] - 100% onefromone...
Let's go girls !!! :girlpower:
