I've been a long time lurker, and this site has helped me so much i decided it was time to join up!
3 years ago i lost 5 stone, going from 17st 3lbs to just over 12st. I felt fantastic but i did some things along the way that i am not proud of (skipping meals, eating less than a 1000cals a day etc). Suffice to say the weight has slowly but surely crept back on and now i am nearly back where i started!
I have done slimming world in the past and lost weight doing it, but im impatient and thought the weight should come off quicker so off i went and did my own stupid ways to lose weight!
Anyway, a week ago i stepped on the scales and was horrifed to see 17st flash up.:cry: So from that moment i decided to do things the right way! I joined up online (as with my work i have to work when clients want treatments so cant commit to meetings at the mo) and as a friend goes to meetings i knew id have support and also be able to pinch her books and stuff if i needed!
So as my first week is nearly over i thought id pop by and say hi. It hasnt been an easy week, its hard to say goodbye to some old habits, but i think im doing ok.
Oh and thanks to all members, i have been reading a lot in the past week and you are all a great help and real inspiration. I just hope that i can make it work for me!
Can i just ask, what do you guys do if you get a craving? Do you go for a walk, try and do something else, give in? At the moment my self control and will power isnt turned on! Need to get into the habit of doing something if i feel myself craving something i shouldnt!
