I joined because I couldn't stand seeing myself in the mirror anymore, and every year I was getting bigger and bigger. I started out last September at around 19 stones, but after about 6 weeks I stopped going when I lost my job. Throughout the past couple of months I have felt so guilty for putting weight back on, and it made me feel even worse than I did before. So I made a pledge to myself to get to my target this year.
Before I got married in 2009, I lived with my family and the negative environment just kept making me feel worse and worse about myself. As I got older my dress size got bigger, the more I was ridiculed and made to feel ashamed about the way I looked. I felt worthless, and horrible about myself and took comfort in food. I had tried dieting, exercising, everything I could but I always ended up giving up because I didn't believe that I could lose the weight. After I got married, the love and support I have received from my husband has encouraged me to be stronger, more positive and make the changes I want. I don't want to be forever limiting myself to clothes from 1 store, or hiding behind big clothes or avoid social occasions. I want to be the woman I know I am inside and regain my confidence and self esteem. I want to have children some day and be a fit and healthy mother to them. I joined SW because I saw my friend who has had much more weight to lose also join SW last year and has had a significant weight loss each month...and I think if she can do it then so can I!
