My mission to go from chunky monkey to sleek and sexy

[carrieann78]

Well hello there i'm new to posting so go easy on me.
I guess i have always struggled with my weight i was on the cubbier side through my school life had my first daughter at 18 and the weight slowly crept on by the time i had my son at 20 i was pushing 14stone in a unhappy marrage and felt at an all time low.
My marrage broke down when i was 23 and i went on to have my yougest daughter 2 years later .
If there is a diet out there i have tried it even the dreaded cabbage soup diet
My weight has yoyod over the last few years and although i feel happier in myself looking at photos of me as a bridesmaid at my friends wedding this june made me really upset.
I'm fed up of people saying but you have a really pretty face you shouldn't worry ... A face does not make you look good in your skinny jeans.
So I have joined slimming world this week and have promised myself that this isnt a diet this is a change for life.

My first goal is to have lost 7lb by november the 10th this is a bridesmaid dress fitting for my best friends wedding next year.

Ah rachel are you another serial weigher like me i cant walk past them in the morning without stepping on them might have to move them out of site so i really need to think before stepping on them at the end of the day its whats on the ones in class thats really going to make a difference to my week easier said than done though hey? ...

I'm also doing a mix of ee and red although i dont really eat pasta .. I think my head is still in the mind set that i shouldnt be eating as much as i am if i want to loose weight ..

 

[carrieann78]
