Hi Y'all
Hey Everyone,
Im Emma Jane, 25 years old, originally from East Kilbride in Scotland, now living in Falkirk area with my dear boyf! Now on week 10 of Lighter Life and loving every minute of it loss to date of 30.5lbs started at 19st 6, would love to be 9st 6 but thats a wee while away yet but boy can i taste it!!
Ive always been "big boned" and actually resigned myself to that fact that I was the fat friend in my group through school, although a mere size 14 i always felt mega huge next to my size 8/10 friends, and so the eating began, and it carried on, and on and well you get the idea.
I was in florida Jan 2005 and I had to be pushed into one of the rides, the Hulk (ironic or so it would seem that I too was a hulk! not green mind you til after the ride lol) Anyways that and the plane trip there and back really socked it too me as i had hardly any room and couldnt reach the bloody radio controls in the arm rests.
But came home and did nothing about it for a whole year really, my cousin was married this year in march and i really struggled to find an outfit to make me look ok, I ended up getting a v expensive dress which i love to bits from a bridal shop in glasgow and i passed as glam for the day. And now in 10 short weeks its far tooo big!!! Hurray or boo im not sure lol, but once this weight is off the dress will be taken in cause i still love it!!!
Some more months on my colleague at work told me about a girl who had done lighterlife, lost 8 stone and gone on to become a fitness instructor I couldnt believe it, and i did some research and concluded that anyone who doesnt eat for that long must be nuts, so I immediately decided that this was the plan for me! lol
Not having to think about food as such and being able to concentrate on the mind is a very amazing experience and long may it continue, another cousin of mine is getting married next august and by then I should be into maintenance, bring it on baby Im soooooo ready for this roller coaster!!!!
Luv Y'all
EmJ
