Hey All
So I am new here and came across this thread of people sharing their journeys, and thought I would join in. If nothing else, being able to dump all my thoughts on virtual paper so that people who understand can read it can only be a good thing!
I am doing this diet because I am 29 and fat. Not overweight or chubby or curvy. I saw my bum in a mirror the other day walking past and it's got a mind of it's own. Nice. I know not everyone will agree with my wording but there's my reasons! I don't actually dislike the way I look, I'm not terrible, I have curves, I just want a few less!
My whole life has been spent trying to lose weight. I've fluctuated between 14st and 17st11 for as long as I can think. I have a wardrobe with every size under the sun stocked in it - Oxfam could set up several size ordered rails, no problem. The thing is my family have given up on me losing the weight now. My mum and stepdad always buy a big curry, feed me cake, tell me not to worry one meal won't count. My Stepmum and Dad are super healthy - gym every day as well as cycling and walking, no wheat in the house, no processed sugar, no nothing. My stepmum in particular thrives on telling me I am lazy or it's my own fault, or I have a problem. Cheers.
So I need to prove them wrong. I need to do it and for it to work this time. I am off to Vietnam in 3 months, and I want to enjoy it, to be able to sit in an airplane seat without flinching and panicking as I sit that I may not fit. I want to be able to walk through the city in a sleeveless top and smile at people going by, to wear a swimming costume in Ha Long Bay and not flinch when people look at me.
I miss wearing jeans and nice tops and feeling great. My dresses look great, but sometimes I just want to put on a pair of jeans!
So yeah, here I am!
I've been on SS for a week and had my first WI today, 10.5 lbs gone which is amazing! Not really felt hungry or anything last week, so I guess I'm a lucky one in that regard.....now we start week 2!
Height - 5'3"
Start weight: 17st7lb
Week 1: -10.5lbs (16st11)
