Hi everyone,
I have just turned 30, am single (eternally) and have been fighting the weight loss battle most of my twenties. I've tried Weight Watchers before with success and more times without success. I think if you are not mentally prepared to do it properly you're just wasting your time.
Anyway in October 2012 I had enough of feeling depressed and having no confidence etc etc and joined Lighterlife. To be fair, this was a life saver and in less than 5 months I had lost over 5 and a half stone and I went from a size 20 to a size 12. Wow! New woman!
However, I got fed up of it and just dropped it, not bothering to complete the Return to Food program and immediately went back to my old tricks (binge eating, compulsive over-eating, secret eating etc). So since early Feb I have put on 21lbs and I can feel it. I'm feeling less confident, I can't wear a lot of the fabulous new clothes I bought and I'm starting to hide away again.
So last night I went to my local WW meeting and signed up. Today is Day 1 and I know I will struggle to not binge/eat mindlessly so I am on here calling for your support, your tips, your go-to treats, your success stories and I hope I can reciprocate.
In March 2012 my sister got married, I squeezed into a size 18 dress and felt absolutely huge in front of the 200 guests. In 6 weeks time I will meet most of those again at my first nephew's Christening party. In 6 weeks I would love to lose a stone (ambitious?) and feel fab at the party.
Thanks for listening.
