I am going to start losing weight today

jaz hear those sleigh..., 18 December, 2008 at 11:49 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 2

This is rather self indulgent but I feel I need to write it out and have a little thread to be honest in in the hope if I am bad it will shame me, so feel free to ignore. I weigh 20lbs more than I did a year ago (though it was 16lbs yesterday so think I might purchase new scales ?)

I am sick to death of all my clothes being too tight and living big clothes to hide in. I am fed up of looking at very recent photos and feeling mortified, sick and unhappy with how I look. I feel sad to look at photos of me a year ago and remember how overweight I felt and now be much heavier and realise I looked alright back then.

So today I am going back to the gym. I am going to try my very best to only eat when hungry and stop before I feel really full. I am not just going to eat food because it is there.

Although I have gone up at least one dress size I will not hide away over Christmas feeling fat and frumpy but will go out and have a nice time and if I smile and feel happy noone else will notice I've put on so much weight, right?

Hmmmph there, my "diet" hasn't started but my more sensible lifestyle has.

    Me too, I have put on tons of weight over Xmas and still have about 1 stone weight to lose since having a baby and eating like a pig. So I am determined that by Easter there will be a new slimmer happier me.

    I feel just like you, can't look at photos, don't fit in clothes so I am going to sort it out. I am going to do Slimming World. Cut out evil white wine and ride my horse more to achieve this!

    Good Luck to all people on a diet x

    Good for you missus!

    I started today too. Healthy eating and I walked 2miles (quickly!) woo hoo for me!

    I feel refreshed and alive and not all lethargic and fat (althoough I still need to shift about two stone!)

    Good luck to you, and I'm hoping that by the summer I'll be fit and healthy and slim ?

    Yes me too! I am hoping in the that by going on here it'll entice me to do this even more! I have just come home from my WW (first meeting since end of Nov) and have cried my eyes out! I have realised that I can not keep pretending all is ok - because it's not! For the first time ever, I'm really embarrassed by me! Since the end of Nov I've put on 7lbs - I nearly fell off the scales when she said it! I'm gutted & want to fit back into my beautiful clothes & I want to feel pretty again.

    And so, here I go: no more tears, excuses & complaints. I want to loose 2.5 - 3 stone (will see how I look when I get there - I don't want to look like an orange on a tooth pick!), and I have an outfit that I wore to a wedding a few years back, that I desperately want to fit into for my friends wedding in May. So this is my official pledge to you all........ by the end of May I will post pictures of me before & after, in the wedding outfit!

    Best of luck everyone!

    xx
