Helloooo everyoneee
So i kinda wanna know what made everyone want to lose weight? Was it 1 thing that triggered the thought in your head, or was it a bunch of things building up for a long time? Also.. what made you choose Cambridge?
For me, i've been overweight all of my life. Coming from a very big Italian family, i grew up on carbs!! Way too many carbs! I always weighed my age! From the age of 10 i started weight watchers with my mum, but i only ever lost 1 or 2lb a week and i was just too young to understand. We then tried slimming world, the atkins diet, i even saw a dietition at a hospital in my early teens.. i tried everything! When i was 18 though i watched the documentry on channel 4 'Half a ton mom' i sky plussed it, cried through the entire programme and visioned that lady to be myself by the age of 20. I watched that documentry every single day for about a week, and then i researched the Cambridge Diet online.. I knew it was pricey, but reading the sucsess stories were all i needed. So April 2008 i started Cambridge but the doctor i saw at the time refused to sign my medical forms. I was told i had to lose a stone before i could start officially on Cambridge, so i went away, locked myself in doors for 10 days and i lived on a peice of grilled chicken every day for 10 days with about 2 litres of water. I went to see the consultant and can you believe it? I lost a stone!!! I remember crying in her kitchen, unable to believe that i had achieved what i needed to all by MYSELF in just 10 days. I went on to lose 4 stone in just 2 and a half months in 2008 on Cambridge, but unfortunately my mind wasn't where it needed to be, and at 16 stone 4lb, i gave up.
Now, i'm 22. And March this year i decided to tackle my weight for the final time. I don't want to look in shop windows but never going inside, i didn't want to refuse to see my friends because i felt too fat to be around them, i didn't want to shop online at plus size websites and look hideous in UNFASHIONABLE clothes. So yeah, 2nd March 2012 i started at 20 stone 8lb, and now 12 weeks later i'm 17 stone.. By christmas i want to be 11 stone!
