Hi there, I'm Natalie a CWP revert. I have come back into the fold to my saving grace CWP.
So I don't bore people to death . I'm sure you can guess, I've done this before...the first time, I lost 4.5 stone in 12 weeks in 2007 and got down to my goal weight of 9st 7lbs and maintained for a year... at which point I promptly got knocked up (which is no mean feat with duff ovaries)and of course being pregnant gave me the perfect excuse to eat lots and lots of cake. I was a woman possessed with sugary goodness, I could skip entire meals but eat a jumbo swiss roll in one sitting. Pregnancy did strange things, honestly.
Even 12 months of breast feeding didn't chunk down the 2 stone I gained; yes , midwives tell you that it helps you lose weight but with a hungry boob obsessed baby, it just made me exhausted, in fact, I just kept growing. Following an unflattering new years eve picture, which was like shamoo in a frock in 2010, I decided enough was enough and I was coming back AGAIN and lost a conservative 3 stone between March and August. Then...well I lost the plot. Life got in the way; stress problems, sleep problems, husband problems, house problems, work problems. I've had them all. But honestly, the only problem I've got that Ive not been able to solve is my FAT problem....Well fat,I have a message for you.. you have taken residence here for far too long and now you have to go...
Today is the first day of the last stint of a VCLD I plan to do. I'm not going to lie. I already feel like gorging myself stupid. But I'm not going to. Im reading some diaries instead. Looks like a lot of inspiring people out there. 12 weeks, its not long at all. I can shift a lot in 12 weeks. So here goes....
