Hello all,
I started on Slimming World today, and thought I'd keep a diary of my journey.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Teresa and I'm 33 years old. I have a beautiful 3 year old little girl and have been living in the UK for 8 years now. I worked shifts for 10 years and recently our department closed and I got made redundant. The weird thing is that I'm finally not working shifts and I can try and eat like "normal" people again.
I was skinny at school and even when I left school, I was still technically underweight. Since I left, a few things happened and I began to comfort eat. I've been dieting on-and-off for about 5 years and I've decided that this is it. I've tried every diet under the sun, including Lighterlife, WW, Sureslim, CD, and I'd lose weight really well, then go back to my old habits and put all the weight back on.
My family had a get-together this passed weekend and when I saw the photos I knew it was time to sort my life out. I do not want to be a fat mother and I want to be slim and healthy for my little girl and my family.
So, yesterday evening I joined my local Slimming World group. It was quite nerve-wracking and I am still seriously struggling to get my head around the plan, but I'm determined that I am going to get to goal as soon as possible.
This is my fight against the Flab. I'm sorry for the long post, but I really look forward to any tips or advice and support along my journey.
Take care.
Tess
