Hello there!
I'm new (to the forum, not Weight Watchers) and have noticed lots of people use the forum to keep weight loss diaries, which I think is a splendid idea. I'll join in!
A little bit about myself - I'm a 24 year old trainee teacher and a life long yo-yo dieter. I've always been insecure about my shape and size, even when I was under the age of ten I felt fat. I look back at pictures of me as a teenager when I was terribly insecure and think "wow, I looked lovely, why was I so hard on myself?" Unfortunately, it was those feelings of inadequacy that lead me to overeat and I eventually became the large girl I always thought I was! Ironic, huh?
Anyway, I've joined and left Weight Watchers many times. I always lose weight successfully, one time I even got down to a size 10 and thought my weight troubles were behind me for good. But I always seem to start losing motivation - probably because I'm happy with my weight loss and think I can relax. Doesn't work that way does it? So I put all the weight back on. Over the last few years I've fluctuated over about 1st 4lbs, but I've finally reached my heaviest weight yet - time for action! I know WW works brilliantly, but I thought joining a forum like this might help with my motivation. I'll need lots of encouragement to keep working hard once I get some weight off!
This last week I attempted a different slimming club (I've written another thread on that if you're interested) DISASTER! I've gone up 3lbs and I was already at my very heaviest. So, I'm back with a bang and I'm determined it's for good this time!
