Hi all
Thought I'd start a diary to keep me motivated and allow for venting/self reflection/motivation -and to stop me gatecrashing other threads with my thoughts (must be very tiresome). Apologies in advance for the stream of consciousness.
A potted history - struggled with my weight all of my adult life and yo yo'd a lot- there are no inbetweens for me I'm all good or all bad and need to achieve balance- most recently lost 3 stone in the run up to my wedding (hence the pen name) doing CD - went from around 17 (size 22 ) stone to under 14 - (around a size 16/18).
Since then had a baby who unfortunately did not weigh 3 stone and therefore was back up to around 17 stone post delivery- for a year sat on the sofa breastfeeding and eating dairy milk -eek - ended up over 18 stone-very unhappy about that - want to be fit, healthy, attractive and have healthier relationship with food - be lovely to get into those clothes again I bought in run up to wedding and before I became the milking machine- and feel good about myself - do not want to be fat mummy at school gates etc etc etc
So started Exante - but have been playing at it a bit - hoping this will keep me more on the straight and narrow - I started off at 18 stone and am just into the 16's.(16.13 ish)
What I need to remember is that if I stop messing about I could be 13 stone something by Christmas (even if it's 13.13 and 3/4's - psychologically it really helps me to be in the next bracket down)
YES BY CHRISTMAS - SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ???
I know that at that weight I am still according to the BMI overweight for my height but I would genuinely be quite happy to get to what I feel is a healthy weight for me and a sustainable one - it makes me about a size 16 - oh to shop in normal shops again - ah a dream.
I can always reassess once I'm there.
Can I just repeat to myself this is achievable by Christmas - so please Mrs stop putting your life on hold and get this sorted- it's such a short period of time in your life - and you know how good you would feel if you did this and sustained it this time.
So off we go again -but as someone else posted pleeeeeeeease let this be the last time
