Getting married in July!!
Hi everyone!! I hope you are all keeping great! I haven't been on in a while as i was finding some of the food talk was too tempting for me and i was afraid id cheat. I hope everyone is doing great since i was on last.
Today i noticed a real difference in myself. It was my two month weigh in and ive lost 2stone 8lbs. I never thought when i started that id be strong enough to last this long. I thought it might be a nice motivator to remind ourselves why exactly we started something so severe as lipotrim; that A-HA moment that made us know we just had to take the bull by the horns and finally do something drastic. So here is my story and if anyone else wants to share theirs thatd be great. X
A little bit of back story...
Im 24years old and i have battled with weight all my life so far. I always felt fat. Ive been all differant shapes, weights and sizes but ive always felt concious of my weight. It has always effected my life in every way. As far back as primary school i felt fat (even though i wasnt really, just a few pounds over weight id say). I hated pe at school and always wore low cut tops in my teen going out years, i guess sub consciencly cos i didnt think boys would fancy me compared to skinny girls but i knew i had great boobs. I never got to wear the clothes that i really wanted and would look rediculas in skinny jeans r anything like that. Ive been in weight watchers 4 or 5 times but for one reason or another hav always put the weight back on pluss more. It has effected my confidence greatly over the years. 18mnts ago i lost over two stone on ww and was really in the weight loss zone when i was in a hit and run car crash and very badly damaged my spine. I am still recovering and cant exercise. I developed bad panic attacks and was on citrolopram for a few months,i felt sorry for myself and became heavier than ever.
Now finally for that A-HA lipotrim moment...
My uncle died and i decided to go home for the wake and funeral. When packing i was devistated that none of my black clothes would fit me. Not even my fat clothes from years gone by or my super floaty black dress that i thought would fit any size. I was horrified and really upset. I found two outfits in the end but they were desperate!! I couldnt zip up the skirt so put a long top over the zipper as my own body force would keep it up and even had to wear stretchy black tracksuit bottoms to the wake!!
My sister and her boyfriend collected myself and my fiancee to take us out. She is 29 yrs old. She was so sexy!! She was wearing heals and a coast dress and her hair and makeup were perfect. When we arrived at the house we got out of the car together and all my family and distant relatives flocked around her. Mean while i went in to stifiled hellos carrying my platters of sandwhiches. I felt invisable and in a way i wished i was.
I felt so sad. Im the younger sister, i should b the fun, sexy dressed, party goer not the great big sensible one with plenty of time to make sandwhiches.
It made me realise that i really should be all those things because thats exactly how i feel on the inside but i wasnt confident enough to be any of those things. I was really happy for my sister but it made me realise that there is absalutly no reason i shouldnt look and live like that too. Something just snapped inside me and i realised that i really really needed to own up and take control of my weight! There in that moment i knew i was going to change my life.
I spoke to my brother in law that night as he had done lipotrim comming up to his wedding. He was so supportive and i got really excited at finally changing my life. I knew it was right for me because i wanted to loose weight quickly and couldnt exercise due to my spine. My life opened up in that moment.
Two months on and ill never have to feel like that at another family/ formal occasion again. The dreadfull tracksuit bottoms have been thrown out, ive lost a lot of weight and my confidence is growing day by day. I love meeting up with people and having fun now because i am more confident in myself and i know that in another two months ill b even more fabulas!! I get married next july and have every confidence that ill feel great on the day and be happy with the wedding photos. The first few weeks of lipotrim were tough but im so glad i stuck at it because it is helping me change my life FOREVER. Ill never look back, and hopefully neither will you!
We are all doing this for our own reasons but the one thing i know for sure is that we can and will all do it!! We deserve it! Hope you enjoyed this and maybe other people will share too.
XOXO
