Hi guys!
I'm coming up fast on my wedding (end of nov, less than a month to go) and a non-fitting dress has spurred me on to lose that stubborn stone that I seem to keep losing and gaining! A lot of it's down to emotional overeating, so I thought it would be useful to come on here (came upon it by chance, yay).
Like many seasoned dieters, I have a pretty encyclopaedic knowledge of what I should eat... but, it's the head stuff that goes with that that I get stuck with. So, having some friendly souls to share the journey with would be great.
Basically, I want to lose as much as I can before the wedding (dress can be altered, but I want to look GOOD in it) and then keep it up and work out how to maintain, which is the bit I have the trouble with.
Noticed you guys have a maintaining forum which is great! But before that, gotta lose the weight!
I don't want to weigh myself - that has tended to mess with my head in the past - so I'm going by how my clothes fit. My wedding dress first and foremost, but also a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to wear for aaages.
Basically, I want to go from a large size 14 to a small size 12. No particular time frame, I just want it to STICK!
Feeling apprehensive about this (after so many failures), but I do feel that my attitude is different now as I'm taking into account that the changes - mental and behavioural - that I'm trying to make are for life, not just for Christmas
I've probably waffled on quite enough now. But, hello, and that's where I'm at!
