Hi everyone, I've decided that after attending SW classes for the last 4 months that they were just not working out for me and have decided to join SW online and go it alone. So any help, advice and support would be greatly appreciated.
I turned 40 last year and have decided that it's time to get back in control of my life as it is passing me by and I'm plodding along and not really living it. I have spent the last 20 years of my life caring for other people and totally forgot about caring for myself. I have always been overweight and was already 22 stone by the time I found out I was pregnant at 19. I had my son not long after I turned 20 and it came as a huge shock when he was diagnosed with Spina Bifida and hydrocephalus. He was transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital straight away for surgery and that is where we spent the next nine months of our lives. Obviously I was at his side the whole time but being stuck in hospital meant that I got no exercise and was limited to eating in the canteen or out of the sweet shop. So I never lost my pregnancy weight and I piled more weight on top too.
So my plans for this year are to lose weight and my target for this year is to get under 20 stone, to get my confidence back and to have much more fun!
My food diary for today is:
B. 2x Weetabix and semi skimmed milk
L. Omelette with ham onion and mushroom with salad.
D. Salmon with steamed veg.
Snacks, orange, apple and a Freddo bar.
