im a 34 year old mother of 2 beautiful boys and wife to an amazing husband. Until I was 22 I was slim, never any bigger than a size 10/12 and I was full of confidence and energy!. When i was 20 i met my husband and then began the evenings of drinking and eating in together and my gym and exercise routines disappeared. ( I loved exercise)
I wasn't brought up on take aways and had never been for fast food except for a treat and then all of a sudden this became my staple diet. We moved in together in a small flat with no real kitchen and surrounded by take aways.
i remember weighing myself vividly when we moved into the flat and I was 10 stone 2 and then again and I was 11stone 8 in no time at all but I did nothing and the weight has just kept piling on.
We gor married in 2003 by which time i was 13 stone 7 and cried when I saw my wedding pictures in my size 20 dress!
i stayed this weight ever since until I got pregnant in 2009 when pregnant with twins I weighed 14 stone 10lb the day before I gave birth. After having my boys I weighed 12 stone 2. I thought this was amazing until the change in lifestyle meant that food was a constant and no one could see md eating at home and I am where I am now!
there is no one to blame but myself for the size I am and I have been between denial and shame for the past year and now I've had enough. I never want to be told - you have a pretty 'face' ever again.
I've been 'trying' to start this diet for 2 weeks now and wasted these two weeks. I've had endless support from people on this site and without that I wouldn't be doing this today.
October will be my 10 year wedding anniversary and I am going to be the woman that I was when I met my husband and that I loved!
today is the first day of my new life!
