I am really bad at saying "No"! I don't want to disappoint anyone, I don't want to upset anyone, I am happy when everyone around me is happy ... but those people are not happy while I am this unhealthy so it's time to change.
I'm 285 lbs. I genuinely cannot think if a time when I ate because I was hungry. I eat when I'm bored and lonely and too tired or lazy to cook properly and I never say no to food, especially if someone else has made it.
I have always been big ... I did once lose weight - I lost 7 stone on 6 months to try to qualify for ivf after years of failing to get pregnant. I didn't need ivf - got pregnant as soon as I reached a healthy weight! However, i destroyed my efforts by eating rubbish and using my long awaited pregnancy as a reason not to exercise.
I have messed about with various diets. Promised myself "I'll start on Monday" for years and finally I have had enough. I can't live like this it's ridiculous. My life is on hold waiting to be thin and i am missing out on amazing opportunities everyday ... and for what? An extra piece of cake??! It's pathetic. It stops now.
I know this time is different. I can feel it. I'm not going to diet. I am going to work with my amazing husband to create a healthy environment for our children to grow up in. I refuse to be a fat lazy mum that can keep up with my toddler son and I will not allow my baby daughter to grow up in an environment where food is a negative or obsessive entity.
I am an adult and responsible for my own decisions - no one is forcing me to eat or not exercise. I need to grow up and learn to say "No"! I'm going to start with "No thanks ... I'm not hungry".
