ok so this is me, i have serious issues with my weight which i have had most of my life, i can remember my diet being changed to lose weight when i must have been less than 10! i have a mother who has dieted as long as i can remember so it has always been a part of my life... although she is only about a stone from what she would class as her goal weight i am just under 4 stone overweight.
i have tried so many diets.... this is my life... it was weight watchers and calorie counting when i was a kid..the chocolate diet..the cabbage soup diet weight watchers again...slimming world...weight watchers...slimming world...lighter life...3 stone off ....1 baby born.....3 stone on...slimming world...weight watchers...lighter life...diet chef....slimming world.....2nd baby born......slimming world...weight watchers...lighter life....weight watchers.....and STOP...i want to get off...
so as you can see i need to get a handle on this...my whole life has been one big dieting roundabout and i really don't want to pass it on to my kids.
so why am i doing it and why slimming world?
it is time to grow up...i'll be forty soon and i aint a kid any more i've got my kids to think of, i want to be fit and healthy and to feel good about myself, i want my kids to feel good about themselves as they are... not like i did when i was a kid always feeling like i had to strive to be better. I want to be able to walk into a shop see clothes that i like and feel confident to wear them...not like now where i buy dark baggy clothes and cover up. Most importantly i am doing this change in my lifestyle (not a diet) for me...because i am worth caring about, because i am worth making the effort for!
and slimming world because it moves away from all those diets that have you counting and restricting things and means you put your faith in yourself and the power of eating healthy food!
