Well, here goes have sort of done it before last month but no support from hubby and kept having teas so decided this week I am going to do it properly and he will have to lump it!
Anyway, I'm Steph, I have never been a skinny minny but after loosing my little boy Jacob 5 years ago the weight just piled on as I found comfort in food, even convinced myself I couldn't eat normal healthy food and veg made me retch when I tried to eat them. Then came the shock, had a routine blood test and my glucose is high and folate is low so know its all connected to my diet and if I keep going then I will probably end up with diabetes. Also suffer from depression which apparently can be linked to low folate - new data out now.
So all in all I pretend to be happy on the outside but inside I'm so not, need to loose the weight and start to take control of my eating.
I am a size 22/24 now and weigh 18 stone so want to get down to a 14/16 and about 11 stone and I will be so thrilled. On holiday this year in Spain with my parents my dad bet me that if I could lose the weight he would take me out for a special meal to Spain, he also bought me a designer size 16 dress whilst we were there so I have this as one of my aims.
Anyway, headache and feeling so hungry today but am sure that as before it will go quickly.
Any help, support and suggestions would be great.
Am doing the total solution one.
Cheers.
Steph
