Hi everyone,
This is the first time I've been on this forum.
I've known in the back of my mind for years now that I really need to lose weight but I've always just really ignored it until tonight. I'm 5ft 8 and a size 20ish, but lately my boobs seem to have taken on a life of their own, and they won't stop growing!
A couple of months ago, some people at work arranged a trip to a certain theme park, and I happily signed up and paid all of the money to go. Then tonight (the day before we leave), it suddenly hit me: what if I was too fat to ride? What if I had to do the dreaded "walk of shame" back down the queue because the attendants couldn't get the restraints to fit?
I can't face the thought of it as I'm a bit of a coward, so I've resigned myself to wasting the money and staying at home. At least I don't need to get up at 5am tomorrow!
But the whole realisation that my weight has reached a limit where I worry about public humiliation is pretty depressing. It's not fun to worry about going on holiday incase you can't fit comfortably in the seats/need the dreaded seat belt extension etc.
My problem is that I'm very good at kidding myself that I'm not being naughty when I clearly am, e.g. eating too large a portion size, or buying the "low fat" option so that I can eat twice as many. So I was thinking that I might have to go the way of the zero tolerance policy and avoid conventional food altogether for a while, and CD seems like it might suit me. Plus I've been enticed in hook line and sinker by the really encouraging success stories on this forum!
Can anyone tell me if they think the CD may be suitable? I've managed to find a CDC in my home town and I'm hoping to get in touch with them tomorrow morning - at least I'll feel better once I've talked to someone and started to actually do something about my ongoing weight issue.
Thanks so much for reading my ramblings!
Nicola
