My biggest problem has always been binge eating...I would miss lunch and dinner just so I could sit and eat crap for the rest of the evening, crisps and chocolate were my worst enemies!
I originally lost almost 9 stone 5 years ago and on the whole have managed to keep most of it off, my husband left me for a bigger woman 3 years ago, and I guess through feeling sorry for myself and being lonely I put 2 stone back on...and for the last 6 months of last year just denied It was all getting out of control again, huge packs of kettle crisps every night and maltesers or jaffa cakes.
Well on 5th January this year I decided that this is going to be my year, I am going to lose the 2 stone I put back on...and hopefully a further 2 on top of that!
I have been following the bodychef low carb plan, which is brilliant for me as although its expensive as everything is prepared for me its nice and simple. I have so far lost 22lbs and although its slowing down now Im still losing. I still get the binge cravings though, and have a couple of times given in to them, then beaten myself up for days afterwards!
Well this week is going to be my last on the bodychef plan, as I just cant justify the cost so tomorrow night I am going to go to my first ever slimming world meeting, Im more nervous than I have ever been for anything in my life. But I need to do this to help me keep on track, as I dont have anyone to support me when I have bad days.
