New but I am a restarter

[Cypherkitty]

Hey guys

Im not really new to this, but after a couple of years of hitches I am back to thinking about my weight, but more importantly how I feel. I have been on slimming world before and lost 2 1/2 stone, I was only a couple of stone off target, and my world turned upside-down. Im not saying that this is an excuse but I do feel like I let it slide.

I am fed up with feeling my stomach there all the time, I know that sounds strange as its always there, but I can really feel it now and I can see it, this I cannot have any longer, so I finally have built up the will power to start down this road again, it takes a lot as I know all you guys know, to finally bring yourself round to thinking about it and actually doing something.

I started Monday and I believe that I have stuck to everything that I should be... but I have been forgetting to write a food diary... naughty me, so I cant be sure, but I have stuck to what I know what works. I haven't been exercising, but I have been suffering for years with fatigue, but I know that after a couple of weeks of detoxing my body with good healthy food that I should start feeling the benefits and be able to exercise.

I know I have a long long way to go this time, but as long as I have a support network around me I believe that I can do it!

So to all of you good luck and healthy thoughts!

I know exactly what you mean about your stomsch as I feel exactly the same. I am restarting on monday and have a good amount of weight to lose but I am hoping that my head is at long last in the right place and I can succeed this time. I hope you do well and look forward to hearing about your progress

Hi lulu it was my stomach that got me started too so know where you're coming from. I could feel it growing just under my not insubstantial bust and it was getting me down also cos I know that once you start gaining there it's very dangerous for your heart. Always been an hourglass but my waist disappeared so I was more like a beer glass! I am hopefully getting my first half stone this week and it's week 5 so it's going slowly and steadily for me but I was getting into the mindset of "oh well this must be it as I'm getting older" but have decided that not going to do that. I find the food diary helps me as I would cheat more if I didn't fill it in and know I do lots of "forgetting" of things if I don't fess up. I keep mine on my phone. Just got a journal app. Good luck with your journey and hope you feel energised soon
