Hello Everyone 
Well i went back to SW last week for 2nd time, first time was a disaster, i think i just picked the wrong time to go and i only ended up losing about 4lb all in all. This time im raring to go, ive shopped, planned all my meals etc and so far im on track.
My main reasons for doing this are varied and there is a few of them, so ill put them on the line for you
1. I have a 2 year old daughter i couldnt stand to leave if i died of an obesity related illness, how selfish of me to do that to her
2. I work at a local hospital and i am asked to give patients healthy eating lectures basically and healthy living talks, and i can see their eyes rolling all over my body as i talk about healthy eating habbits (i must admit i do feel abit of a hypocrite).
3. To feel more confident and like what i see in the mirror and be able to go into nice shops and get something off the rail and know i wont cry when i put it on because it simply doesnt fit me.
4. To just be healthy and have a good relationship with foods and the right kind of foods, to set a good example to my little girl.
5. When my daughter goes to school i dont want to give her an added reason to feel embarassed by me, lets face it all kids are embarrassed by their parents and to be fat to go with it, i wouldnt want her to get picked on.
6. For people to see me and not see my size first.
What really kicked my behind to go back to slimming world was an incident at work, i was working and a ward full of ladies really berated me for an entire shift
"omg isnt she huge" (im a size 22 not exactly monsoon sized but not thin)
"I bet she isnt married", "Dont you think you should lose some weight". I had this type of comment for a full shift, you can imagine what kind of mood i was in when i got home. To say ive never felt so humiliated was an understatement, no collegues backed me up, instead just laughed along like it was a joke.
My mum and dad celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary not long ago and they decided to book a 2nd wedding for august this year, which is going to be lovely and some what lavish affair. My sister is a very trim size 6 and a model to go with it, we both are wearing the same dress, i saw my sister try her dress on and i thought wow thats a gorgeous dress looks really nice and classy, until i put mine on!!!! totally different look going on.
I know i wont lose much weight between now and august but i really dont want to be a laughing stock in front of my family and family friends.
Anyways sorry to ramble, hope your all doing so well.
Hope to hear back from someone.
