I've just started WW again for the umpteenth time. I'm not even going to say "this time I'm determined this is it" etc because I know how many times before I have said that. What I do know is that I'm trying to conceive so I have REAL incentive and a partner who is doing it with me.
The reason why I'm stupid? Because if I really think about it the reason I started to gain weight badly was when I was about 16 because I felt huge anyway. Looking back I wasn't. I was around 13 and a half stone - which i know is big for 5 foot 4- for a long long time and yo yo dieted but never went beyond that. I did Cambridge a few years ago and lost 19lbs, then put it back on again.
My friend just joined slimming world the other day, she's 12 stone. I never saw her as being big, ever. It just made me think FFS I was only a little heavier than her at might lightest after Cambridge.
I guess part of the thing is that my body shape must naturally be quite petite because at 12 I felt huge still. Saying that I am now 5 stone heavier (I know! :,( ) and my clothes aren't even that much bigger. So much for 1 stone per clothing size!
So basically I'm an idiot if I'd just thought to myself as a size 14 16 year old " you're not that big..!! " I probably never would have gained it all... Stupid hey
