Quick copy and paste from the beginning of my previous diary...
I've never really been overweight until just recently. I used to be the girl that could eat what I wanted and never put on weight...up until I was 18 I was a size 10-12. I turned 18 and started drinking heavily, resulting in the next day 'hangover food'. The more I drank the hungrier I was the next day. I got into the habit of eating junk and lots of it. I got into a vicious circle...
Eat loads
Hate my size
Get miserable
Eat loads
etc...
I find that I eat loads when I'm bored or sad and working in an office 10 hours a day gets pretty boring, so it got to the point I was munching constantly throughout the day. If I wasn't eating at work I'd be hungry when I got home so I'd walk to the shop and buy food I didn't really need whilst dinner was cooking and then stuff my face. I'd then proceed to eat dinner after eating sharing bags of crisps and big bars of chocolate.
I have no excuses for why I eat the amount I have done. It just seems to be that bigger I get the worse my eating habits get. I've decided its time for change in my life. I'm a lot happier now in my life than I've been for a few years, all thanks to an amazing boyfriend coming on the scene. Now I don't feel as miserable about everything I think it's time to change. I am doing this for myself though as he says there's a big difference between wanting to lose weight and needing to lose weight (he says I don't need too;he obviously doesn't know the difference
)
I started the Tesco's Ultra Slim shakes this week (04/03/2013) and didn't get on with them at all.
I then tried 'Shake that weight' shakes and hated that even more.
So I joined slimming world on 25/07/2013 and started my first day today on 26/07/2013.
I've gained over 4 stone in 2 years and previous attempts at WW have failed. I managed to lose 11lb in 6 weeks there but then put that all back on over Christmas 2011 and then gained a further stone and a half in 2012. Whilst doing WW I kept a diary myself to track how well my days had been etc, however I didn't find it very useful. I feel like if I keep track on here, other people will be able to see it and will be there for advice and support, helping me stay motivated.
So this is me. Sian, a 20 year old girl, 14st 7.5lb with lack of will power.
DAY ONE
Breakfast - Muller light vanilla yoghurt, and blueberries
Mid morning snack - Grapes
Lunch - Ham rollups with laughing cow light triangles (HexA), salad of lettuce, cucumber, red pepper, red onion, pickled onions, baby plum tomatoes.
Mid afternoon snack - Melon, kiwi and apple.
Dinner - Big mac in a bowl - Extra Lean Mince, Onion, Dairylea Light Cheese Slices x3 (7.5syns) Lettuce, Light Thousand Island Dressing (2syns) Slice of wholemeal bread (HexB) Syn Free Chips.
This is my plan today. Will update and edit as needed xx
