I thought i would start this post as i had the most embarrasing situation only last week and wanted everyone else to share there similar stories as this has now made me more determinded than ever and hope it will do the same for others, basically my weight is seriously ruining my life, i have just come back from spain and i had already planned to start this diet as soon as i returned but this just made me realise how important i need to lose weight,i used to ice skate when i was younger and did travel alot doing shows etc so i was very slim back then but i have put so much weight on the last 5-6 years having kids etc and when i boarded the flight a girl i hadn't seen for years who i used to skate with was the hostess and i felt ashamed of how i looked and to make matters worse when i sat down for the first time ever the seat belt wouldn't fit and because it was a tiny flight she was the only hostess around to ask for a extension....how bad is that??? i could have curled up and died, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and i think that was the massive kick up the bum i really needed......shame on me !!!
