Hello All,
Just joined minimins after being a reader of the forum for quite some time. I'm just starting out on a weight loss mission to try to drop 100lbs.
I'm about to turn 30 in under 3 months, and get married in just over 9 months time and would like to be slim, for once in my life.
I've always been a big girl, and although I carry it quite well (I think people would be amazed if they knew i was 18st10!) I want to know what it is like to be slim. To wear skinny jeans, shop in Topshop, to be noticed. Being fat just makes you invisible to so many people. To be a 'normal', healthy weight.
We'd like to try for a baby after we're married and I can't bear the thought of being this big plus pregnancy weight and feel that if I don't shed the pounds now, I never will.
So, I'm trying. I'm hopeless at sticking at things, I guess the voices in my head say that I cannot do it, so I'm hoping that a bit of support here, and writing down my feelings might just help make the difference.
Good luck in all of your journeys.
