Hullo!! I have just joined, have looked at allllll your threads and I thought you all sounded lovely so you're getting my angst thrown at you. When I was 16 I was around 11 stone at 5ft9. I am now 20 and put on about 3 stone and then when I turned 18 and moved in with the boyfriend I put on another 5 or 6 stone. He was abusive mentally and also a baker and I literally ate Fat Rascals constantly. Prob consumed 5000 calories a day, wow my stretch marks are extensive.
Now I am starting university on 21st Sep and I know I can't lose all the weight but I want to get rid of as much as possible so that I don't feel so much like the fat girl. I am about 17 stone 5, scales today said 17 stone 2 and a quarter but I am saying 17 stone 5 as I won't know till tomorrow whether the 2 is accurate!!. I weighed myself in February at 18 stone 13, I had lost some weight I think but as I hadn't weighed myself I don't really know what my highest is. so highest recorded is 18 stone 13. I have lost 1 stone and a half roughly just because I stopped eating Graemes scones or all of the greasy curries. He thought he could cook but really was useless. you could see a cm of of floating grease in the wok when he was cooking. So I've just lost the weight because I've been walking to work etc.
I get up at 8am. I leave the house at 8.30am I walk 1.7 miles get the train then walk another 2 miles downhill to work. I work in a coffee shop so am active all day. I get to work at around 10am and sit down to eat something. Start work at 11am and end up not getting lunch till 3.30 sometime sand even then I am only allowed 15 minutes so cooking food isn't ideal. Finish at 4. Walk uphill to train station get home at 5.30ish. Point is my working pattern is odd, on the occassion (like everyday next week) I have to work 9 till 6, I'll have to leave the house at 6.30 to get the 7.20 train and then at the other end will get home late. Unless I have my bike in which case I can get the train an hour later as its a quick downhill bike ride but thats in the shop.
I just wrote the above to give you an idea of my lifestyle. I live with my grandparents who constantly buys ice cream and stuff, don't tend to eat it though when I do I binge.
I was wondering whether SS would be appropriate whether its Exante, Kee or Avidlite. I struggle with food, I mean it is absolutely linked to my emotions without a doubt. I might be depressed I don't know I am not a doctor but my weight, depression and food all mixed together are not good lol.
I thought if I did SS I might learn not to associate food with my emotions as I am not eating food. If that makes sense? But I am keen to lose as much weight before Uni, I don't drink etc so I don't see my student lifestyle in leeds making me gain weight but I just don't want to go FAT
I am a tall girl, I carry weight well, I am a size 18 but less than 18 stone. I know someone who is a size 24 at my height and weight. I think I have a lot of muscle as well, I have slim legs even though I am heavy, I used to cycle a lot as a child and I find cycling easy (thats why I don't do it to keep fit as its too easy!!) so I think a bit of my weight must be muscle but my face is completely different than when I was slim and its upsetting.
Sorry about the long message....
