Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site...but it seems very helpful and informative so it seems promising
Also, would like to say a huge congratulations to everyone here for trying to take control....and especially to those who have lost weight and maintained it also!
I started anxiety meds 4/5 years ago....which made me eat compulsively, like an addiction, rather than just overeating. So, I was about 11/12 stone starting university and then i went on to go up to 16 st 9lbs i think was my heaviest...and a weight/place i never ever want to see myself in again.....
Anyway, I came off them meds about 9/10 months ago...I went down to 15 st 1/2 but then just got a bit relaxed again up until now, i am about 15 st 8/9 lbs....which is great considering im eating way too much junk food over the last few weeks/months....The difference is...now I am eating for COMFORT rather than compulsion. So, that gives me great hope
So....I want to put my motivation to use...and start shedding all of these excess lbs, slowly but surely! And keeping them off too this time!
I have been on and off diets for years and I am just sick of using silly excuses and saying "Someday, I'll look beautiful again".....What am I waiting for? At that rate I will still be saying the same thing at 90 years old....
I've decided to weigh myself and start from tomorrow officially.....but i have made some good choices/changes already today, instead of stuffing my face and then craving it all again tomorrow morning.....
Good luck to everyone this week too and keep up the good work!!
