Hi all,
I thought it was about time I started my own weight loss diary, mostly for my own motivation and encouragement, but also so any of you who feel interested to have a read/giggle/despair/sympathise with my week to week experiences and struggles.
Where do I start? From the start? Ok! So I'm 5'1" and a bit (and yes the but does count), I'm not short, I'm fun sized!! I'm 24, live in Lancashire and I currently weigh 11 stone 8lb and counting! I was 13 stone 7 at my heaviest and extremely unhappy! I got down to 10 stone 5lb at my lightest, mainly due to rapid weight loss caused by sudden appearance of Gallstones! Which were swiftly removed (along with my Gallbladder) after being admitted to hospital on discovery that the stones had travelled and caused pancreatitis. It had put me in a pretty bad way (not that the misery of hardly being able to eat anything without the onslaught of an attack wasn't enough), and caused me to miss my Brothers, Mums and Dads (40th) birthday! However I was that happy to be released and able to eat things again, I foolishly and gleefully stuffed my face with junk food over the months and stacked my weight back up to 12st 1lb!
So this brings me to where I am now! Since around March this year I have managed to get down to around 11st 3lb at my lightest this year! Enough is enough now, I've really gone round the houses to get anywhere close to my target this time and I think it's about time I stopped and did something!
I'm following Slimming World, I love the plan and it's the only plan I have ever followed, I've never done any other diet or plan and don't really wish to, it definitely works for me, it's just that I an be my own worst enemy!
I've just applied to be a Slimming World consultant (wish me luck) and have heard that many consultants struggle to lose weight/put weight on due to how time consuming being a consultant can be (bearing in mind that I already work a 48 hour week!). Have any of you experienced this? I'm waiting to hear back to see if I am able to attend an interview, so fingers crossed!
Well that's pretty much everything up to date! I'm going to try and update this diary as often as I can and be honest with myself and all of you, then maybe we can see where I am going wrong, like today for example... Talking with the girls at work about how rock hard we want our abs to be and simultaneously reaching for the box of thorntons chocs!! ??
Thanks for reading any of you that do and it's be great to hear about you and your story too!!
Love Xia!
