Hello all.
I thought it'd best to keep myself motivated by reminding myself of how far I've come so far and sharing this with all of you fellow SW members
I first joined SW in January, but fell off the wagon as my mind wasn't fully into changing my bad eating habits. I've been overweight pretty much for as long as I can remember and have been left somewhat scarred by the effects of being forced onto a variety of 'diets' as a child - Weight Watchers, SlimFast and even Lighter Life, which left me ill with gastritis in hospital. Given all of this, I've had to gather up a lot of strength and have a lot of difficult conversations with loved ones about my issues (facing up to your mistakes is never fun). Once this was all done however, I re-joined SW in March - a different meeting venue to the one I went to previously. I went along with a new sense of determination - a weird fire in my belly that I haven't felt before.
On the left is me in March, just starting out at my personal trainer's gym (19st 4lbs). On the right is me now, just over a stone lighter and feeling fitter than I ever have done in my life.
I still have a long way to go, but am so proud of everything I've achieved so far and am feeling so so so so so determined to keep going forward in my weight loss journey.
