Ok,
So, I have decided to start this thread so that I have a little more support when dieting (as I have very little will power to be honest). Seems obvious when I write it down like that but I guess I have to as I find this very odd, I don't normally share with people that I am dieting or am even down about my weight.
I was already dieting, but have decided to get serious about it as last night I was looking through a memory book and kind of had a mini 'Eureka' moment! I have a very skinny sister - who no matter what she eats always maintains her physique, I have always seen myself therefore as the 'fat' sister, however, looking at photos I realise I never really was, yes, I was curvy but I had a gorgeous figure- just different to my sister, more curvy. I used it as an excuse to eat more and feel bad about myself, triggering further eating, this ironically lead me to actually being the 'fatter' sister.
A second trigger is that I am going on holiday in August to Florida, I havent been anywhere warm in a year or so and decided to check all my summer clothes, as I had a feeling I had put weight on. It wasnt as bad as I thought! I think a stone will get me back to how I once was, but I think I only need to lose just under that to fit into all my clothes. If I get serious - I CAN do this.
I dont want to shy away from having pictures taken or look back at photos with regret.
So.... here we go!
