Hi every1

Im moving over from the herbalife forum. This has been such a hard decision for me as I have bn a herbalife lover for so long! Lol but I have 2 admit now the plan just isn't suiting me any longer & it's a real struggle for me.

Last 4 months has been extremely difficult, my dad passed away, I lost my baby, my relationship fell 2 pieces so therefore I had 2 move house (back 2 my mums) so yeah its bn tough! Lol & tbh i have totally comfort ate myself through the hard times. I'm not going 2 beat myself up about it because I done what I had 2 do 2 get by & survive they dark days, but with the help of an amazing therapist I'm not in that horrible place anymore so basiclly want the outside of my body 2 reflect how I'm feeling on the inside

I have also given up alcohol....my dad passed away due 2 alcohol related liver disease & i read somewhere that addiction is 50% heredrity & 50% due to the persons coping skills & i just dont want 2 take any chances! So the last drink I had was one G&T at my dad's funeral (12th June) I had my first 'sober' night out on sat, im not going 2 lie it was very difficult & i felt so nervous & self conscious but I done it Im not saying ill never have a glass of wine with a meal but but the days of me going out with my friends & getting smashed are over!

My goal is 11st & I'd quite happily reach that goal with a 1lb a wk loss, so im not going 2 b hard on myself (for the first time in my life) this really is a lifestyle change!! I'll b joining class on wed but I have the books so im starting the journey to find the 'real me' 2day.

If you have took the time 2 read my post you deserve a medal :thumbup: lol I just thought it was important to have a wee but of back ground knowledge on me haha...hope you enjoy reading my diary
