Over the years my weight has gone up and down more times than a whores drawers, I've blamed everything from baby weight (youngest's 15!) to the alignment of the moon. The problem lies in my feet ........ I can't keep them away from the fridge.
I've tried many diets, pills and potions, eaten from smaller plates and even drank urine flavoured milkshakes that (falsely) promised to rid me of half my body weight in a fortnight. I've purchased every celebrity endorsed workout DVD and my personal favourite was Insanity. That bugger nearly put me in traction and that was only 7 minutes and 6 seconds into the warm up.
The label in my clothes should be reported to trading standards for false representation! My thick stretchy leggings are now stretched that taut they resemble 10 denier tights. Lycra ladies is not your friend!
Breaking point for me wasn't joint pain, breathlessness or constant heart burn. No, it was a photograph taken and posted on social media. I didn't recognise the huge moon face smiling back at me, cheekbones were gone and I now have the addition of an extra couple of chins. I shrieked in horror and asked my friend to remove it. I then cried that night. Sobbed at the mess I had become.
Last week I took the plunge and joined Slimming World. My consultant made me feel at ease but nothing could have prepared me for the numbers that screamed back at me from the scales. What I thought was the international dialling code for Taiwan was actually my weight!!!!!
Since Wednesday I have stuck to my plan rigidly, carefully weighing and calculating my healthy A & B options and weighing up the most effective use of my syns. So far, so good. Watch this space peeps ........ Let's see what the scales say on Wednesday
Much love ...... Cx
