Hi all, I have been posting for a couple of weeks now but thought I would start a diary to attempt to keep me motivated.
To start, a bit of info about me. I'm 28, live in the midlands with my OH (no family yet but OH is mega broody!!).
I have pretty much been overweight all my adult life and have tried ww, sw etc but always put the weight back on when I start eating "normally" again. I am trying cc to hopefully start to understand what I am eating more and to ensure that good choices become natural for me as I start to change my eating habits. I also like the flexibility of the plan and the fact that you control what you eat.
My biggest issue which effects my weight loss is that I am an emotional eater, and I have quite a stressful job which is quite long hours so it's really easy for me to make an excuse to grab a take away and miss the gym at the end of a long and trying day.
My vices are cake, take aways and beer.
I am trying to stick to 1200 cals a day, exercising around 3 times a week. Done well so far but I'm a bit nervous cause we go in hols next week to America for a fortnight so thinking of upping the exercise whilst I'm there to give me more flexibility.
So that's me. Any help and advice gratefully received.
