I love fashion...no I mean it I LOVE fashion.
I used to be a size 8 to 10 and I had an amazing wardrobe which was coveted by all my friends and the first place anyone went to borrow things!!
I had a major car accident when I was 18...on the day of the crash I weighed 8 stone and less than two years later my weight had doubled........my confidence plummeted.
I trained a couple of times a day ate healthily and was happy and confident but that all changed I didn't recognise myself and became so depressed....
I was diagnosed with post traumatic shock....wait for it....8 years after the event this was caused by a memory of me believing my 18month old sister and mother were dead (both survived and are now thankfully happy and healthy) on top of this I had alot of injuries dislocated hip,whip lash, fractured cheek bone, broken ribs and I also developed blood clots in my legs where they had been trapped. The injuries put paid to my training and I had so many tablets to take I rattled and developed stomach problems.....I had to take food with each one and developed a habit of snacking....which as the weight went on became a cycle of bingeing,purging, laxatives, slimming pills etc etc....
Glad to say i have finally had the counselling I needed and this diet has given me the time "off food" to break the habits I had developed...(fingers crossed)
I am tired of not recognising the person in the mirror and living a life that doesn't feel mine......2stone 3lbs down now and feeling good.....along "weigh" to go but I am on my way!!
