Hi Folks!
I have been lurking on the site for a while but finally joined today.
I started my diet/healthy eating/whatever you want to call it
on Monday, so i'm now onto day 4 - so far so good!
I thought I was around 13stone, but weighed myself at the gym yesterday and i'm actually 13 st 10lbs, which is the highest i've ever been.
3 Years ago when I was 21 I got up to 12 st 9 and managed to get down to 11 stone by following Paul McKenna think yourself thin. I don't know what went wrong but I stopped following it and somehow managed to con myself that I hadn't put weight on, despite going from a size 12 to a 16.
So i've put on almost 3 stone in 3 years and i'm definitely ready to get rid of it. I am only 5"2 but I want to aim for 10 stone, as although my BMI says my top weight should be 9 and a half stone, I am scared to be that low as I never really have been!
I'm going to just try calorie counting for the time being - around 1400 a day, and try to exercise 3 times a week at least.I'm logging my food and exercise on'my fitness pal' app on my iphone which is really helping me to see where I was going wrong. I was eating like 3000 calories most days before!!!
I'm also going to try and not weigh myself too often because I am terrible for letting it get me down if I dont see the number I wanted!!
So yeah, i'm feeling really motivated.
I'm so sick of having to wear a cardigan with every outfit to cover back and arm fat, avoiding seeing people I haven't seen in a while in case they notice how fat i've got, having to wear my hair down every day even though it takes ages to do in a morning because I think it helps to hid my double chin, only taking photos from an angle to avioid my double chin, being restricted to a small % of my wardrobe because my clothes from last year and the year before no longer fit, avoiding social situations because I feel embarrased about my weight, worrying that my boyfriend might propose while i feel too fat to go wedding dress shopping, feeling too embarrased about my body to be naked on from of my lovely boyfriend.
So hopefully goodbye to all of that within the next 8 months!
