*edit 18/4/12. Changed diary title to Woulda, shoulda, coulda 
Diary as for the last couple of weeks now I've not been 100% but I have been very good at analysing what i could have done better afterwards..so maybe this will remind me to make the better choice in the first place and then I don't need to go down the Woulda, shoulda, coulda route.*
Hi everybody! :wavey:
I thought I would bite the bullet and start a new new new diary. Please feel free to stop by and say hi! My diary is probably going to be a random collection of my musings, food diaries, photos, recipes and anything else which pops to mind!
I've been here and done this so many times now it's not even funny but I am *was* one of those terrible yo-yo dieters. I lose weight, I gain more, I lose, I gain more and so on and so on. I think more than one or two of you will know how that goes
And because I always know what I'm doing wrong when I'm gaining weight I get so fed up and angry with myself which continues the binge/comfort eating weight gain cycle but now I really am determined to do it this time.
I tried doing it online, and then entirely by myself but I always lied to myself, told myself that 'never mind you gained this week. NEXT week will be better' but it never was.
The short story is... in 8 months (from my wedding 29th May last year to 15th Feb this year) I had gained 2 stone 3lb and I rejoined a class on the 15th of February. I have had 2 weigh-ins since then and lost 6lb so far, which I am very pleased with. I was aiming for (to start) 7lb before my birthday (which is 2nd April) so that is looking good, and likely to exceed that target!
