Hi Everyone,
Completely new to this site and therefore just wanted to say hi...
I am 28 years old and I have been dieting for 15 years.....I have never got very far.
My weight has always been a problem for me and I am a typical yo yo dieter / fat person....I eat when I am Sad/ I eat when I am happy, I eat when I am bored / I eat when I am occupied out of habit, I eat when something bad has happened/I eat when I have something to celebrate...blah blah. At the moment I guess I live to eat...rather than eat to live..this is going to change.
I cant say that I am going to suceed this time as I dont know if I am....I really struggle when people say 'if you really wanted to loose weight you would'?? Its really not that simple....I did not want to be bullied as I child, I did not want to miss out on job opportunities because of my weight and still find myself single after 4 years (main factor being my weight).
I am not here to moan lol but I just think that loosing weight is not easy as I am sure giving up smoking isnt yet larger people get judged more.
I want to suceed !
There are two reasons I am doing this...the first one being the fact that my 7 year old highlighted the fact that I was fat a few weeks ago...Kids always tell the truth and for him to notice now is just the start...soon he is going to discover embaressment cos of my weight and I am not wanting to put that on him.
Secondly I am just fed up of being large, fed up of being told that I am not really that big when clearly I am (15st 13lbs) and more importantly having to walk past those cool trendy shops knowing that I would not even get one leg in a pair of their jeans (hello river island!!!) or have to go straight to the back of the rail to check they have my size before setting my heart on having that cute little top or sassy dress....
I am happy & confident in my attitude and myself..unfortunately the exterior needs defining!!
Its going to be a hard slog and I am terrified of failing...but we have to be positive and at least try.
Knowing what I am like I am only going to weigh myself monthly as if I do it weekly - one little slip and it would be all over...at least four weeks give time for the body to adjust.
So here goes!!!! :wave_cry::jelous:
Anyone who wants to buddy up...please give me a shout!
