I never know how to start these things! I feel like I’m talking to myself while hoping someone else will be reading (lol!)
So I’m Clare, I’m 21. I’m getting married in 84 weeks and 4 days (a friend of mine bought me a count-down chalk board thing, I’ve not actually counted but just presumed she was right!) to a wonderful man who (apparently!) thinks I’m wonderful. Unfortunately, I don’t agree.
I’m moody, I’m grumpy, I have THE worst mood swings and the majority of it is down to unhappiness about my weight, I think. It could be that I’ll lose all the weight I need to and still be an absolute arse, but I’m blaming the weight for now!
I joined this site in October last year firstly on Slimfast. That lasted about a week and a half (if even!). I have a weird relationship with milk and making up the shakes made me feel sick after a while and it got to the point I’d rather not eat than have another bloody strawberry shake. So I gave up. My mum, at the time, was on Weight Watchers so she gave me her log in for the website so I could have a look around and figured it looked good.
Thus, my on/off relationship with weight watchers started. I lost 7lb in my first week (although I think I might have had my shoes on when I weighed in the first time so I’m not sure how accurate that is!) and then lost another 3-4lb and then put on 2lb and then lost 1lb and then put on…etc etc. So until about July this year I was hovering around the 11 and a half stone mark. I believe a healthy BMI for me is about 9 and a half stone, so still a bit to go!
We got engaged in May in Rome – and it was lovely. Booked our wedding for 7th April 2013 in the most amazing venue I could imagine and I’ve even got a dress! The problem with the dress is that it already makes my waist look TINY so it’s not the most motivating for weight loss, if only I could wear it every day!
Long story short, I’ve managed to lose that other half stone now – so I’m hovering around 11st exactly (yay), with about a stone to a stone and a half to lose.
I strongly dislike my job at the moment (in fact, I’m writing this rather than working) and I’m trying to convince the other half to decorate the house so we can rent out and move out. He’s agreed, but actually getting the gears in motion is a different story. I’m going back to college 2 nights a week starting 6th September, so I’ll be busy busy!
I really want to lose this weight and I know it’s only me that can make it shift but when you’re in the office 8 hours a day and it’s around 3pm and you know there’s a vending machine with galaxy caramels in it…it’s bloody hard!
So I plan to pop on here at those times instead, get a little moan (or happy news!) out of my system, and then back to work…euch!
