Hi everyone,
My name is Ali. I am new to posting on this forum, however have been reading this and getting lots of support and encouragement from your threads since starting this WLP in July '09.
I managed to lose 3stone and 13lbs last year, going from 15.13 to 12 stone, a size 22 to a small 16 and I felt just great
I managed to maintain for 6 months, hovering around the 12.4 mark, but in the last few months have put weight on and am now around 14.3.
I am not happy at this weight, have a family Xmas planned, most of them havent seen me since a family wedding in Feb '09 when I was at my biggest and unhappiest. I feel like a failure for putting 2 of the 4 stone back on. I am starting to look 'round' again, but I just cant seem to get past a few days of CD. What is wrong with me? I am unhappy, and look awful and really, really want to feel good for the Xmas family meet-ups. Surely that is incentive enough??
I know that if I stick to it, I could lose a stone easily by Xmas which would make a huge difference to how I feel and look.
So please, if you have any words of encouragement or advice, I would really appreciate them as I desperately want to stick to this.
Help me to get back into the right mindset please
Thanks everyone xxx
