I wasn't sure if I should do a diary or not, cos who wants to read bout me, but I guess if nowt else it'll hopefully help me to keep on track. He's the boring history bit......
I've always been a fatty bum bum since the age of about 3 really and I'm very nearly 41 (well in years maybe but not in mentality) And when I say fat I mean I've always been morbidly obese. I recall the days when that singled you out as being a bit different at school and having to wear terrible Demis Roussos style smocks as shops didn't sell clothes for us big un's. Anyway I've never really been an unhappy fatty as I have the mentality (but not the appetite) of a thin girl - i.e. I get a right shock when I see a picture of me standing next to someone I consider chubby and then realise the honey monster next to them is me. So life was ticking along quite nicely until I hit my 30's and all of a sudden I managed to lose over 8st in a year - I've since come to the conclusion that it was a marital breakdown that helped this along as going to the gym was a better place than being at home - cripes that'll tell you how bad things were - ha. But here I am in my 40's and what do you know I've found all of the 8st and more, and not only that but I'm now struggling to do things like walk up a hill and run for a bus which is a terrible state of affairs. I joined a weight loss club at work last summer and did manage to lose 2st and then stalled as it's too easy not to go. I have a bash at weight watchers and slimming world and found them too faffy for me and whilst lurking on this site notice the S&S diet in people's info, wondered what it was, did a bit of research and here I am.
So I started on Wed 25th, meaning I'm currently on day 4. had the odd headache and woozy-ness and hunger pang and now have the runs!!! I have been naughty and popped on the scales and am quite pleased so far.
The hardest thing for me will be to fit it round my social life, I go out a lot for food and drinks, I managed my first night last night on blackcurrant and soda water (naughty girl I know) but it was better than my usual litre of gin. I've declined an invitation out tonight (just as well really - considering the bum bum problems) and I'm out again on Sunday and I know I can't last on drinking just water so I might be lured by the blackcurrant again. (to be fair I did just have the one shot of cordial all night, and I thought it might contain less citric acid than lime)
Anyone who wants to comment, join me or give me advice is more than welcome, cos I could deffo do with some support, if not I'll just post away here talking to myself.......
