Laney's road to skinnydom!

I thought it might be a good idea at this stage to start a diary of my own. Ive been reading everyone elses and got great inspiration from them so here goes!!

My name is Louise (screen name gone!) and Im 25 and living in Dublin. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. Im going out with my boyfriend for 9 years and have gradually piled on most of my weight ...happily munching and crunching through food on the couch! Lovely!!
I got bullied at school cos I was big and I dont think Ive ever not been self-concious of it. I got to the stage recently when I couldnt get dressed for a night out and cant bear to look in the mirror. So after many failed attempts at weight watchers and Gi and everything else under the sun...here I am

I dont want to be me anymore

well done on starting a diary Louise. I find that mine really helps to keep me focused and if it helps anyone else, even better.

You will soon be slim. COngrats on the 12lb loss already. Im sure you dont mean it when you say you dont want to be me... you just want to be a slim version of yourself.

I wish you the best of luck with the diet.

This is my third week and I had a bit of a blow out last night. I was in bad grumpy humour and the kids were eating chips! So I decided to rob a few chips off their plate ..... but couldnt stop! I also had 2 sausages Why I felt the need to do this I dont know. I wasnt hungry . And do you know what....it so wasnt worth it. I felt rotten afterwards with the guilt and this morning I had cramps in my tummy from it. DEFINATELY NOT worth it! (Mental note to self )

Back on form today...I have to remind myself why Im doing this. Its for me at the end of the day. It was freezing this morning on the way to work when I suddenly remembered I needed a new winter coat...I have never owned a proper winter coat cos Ive never been able to get one to fit me properly. I will get a new coat before christmas..I promise myself I will

I have serious chatterboxes and need to understand how to shut them up! Trying to keep myself as busy as possible. Ive joined salsa slims so that should be a laugh and gonna get working on my gym ball soon. Dont think I have the energy to walk yet!
