Hi everyone, this is my first post but I've been reading on here for the last few days and everyone seems so friendly.
I've started SS today for the last time. About 4/5 years ago I lost 3st. doing Lighter Life but didn't see it through to the end. Slowly but surely the weight has crept back on plus about 1st. more. There's been a lot going on in my life, loads of stress and worry but I feel like this is my last chance to change. I tried doing SS last year but just wasn't in the right frame of mind - think I had 5 tries in as many weeks! But I'm "in the zone" now (I hope!) and CWP is the only diet that will give me the results I want - doing weightwatchers or slimming world and losing a pound a week is soul destroying!
I turned 30 last October and always said I wouldn't be "fat and 30" but guess what, I was. And I hated myself for it. I'm currently at uni doing teacher training and will be going on placement in September - I really don't want to be fat and self-concious when I have to stand in front of 30 teenagers! My social life is non existent as I am sick of spending time getting dolled up and still looking a mess. I hate picking my sons up from school and feeling embarrassed cos I look horrible. I know looks aren't everything and I'm really proud of lots of other things about me, but sick of the shallow yummy mummies looking down at me. I don't want another summer hidden away in baggy tops, I've got 2 wardrobes full of gorgeous clothes I want to get back into.
I feel up to the challenge as long as I can get through this first week. My only problem is I'm not feeling very well, I've had a rotten cold since Good Friday and feel worn out and crap. On the plus side I've managed to quit smoking so really hope that this MY time now. I am going to be rather busy these coming weeks as I've got 5 projects on at uni so I'm hoping that the time will fly.
Weigh-in day is Saturday and I really need a good loss to keep me on track.
