Hi all
Just a quick quick intro from me.
As my user name suggests I'm a full time mummy to two girls aged 14months and 2yrs 8 months so I'm kept busy!
I've struggled with my weight since I was about 9 years old. I blame my parents. My mum has no idea about healthy eating portion control ect and her own weight problems only support this. She would send me to school on crisps and chocolate for breakfast. I can even recall a time when d have microchips for breakfast (I've not admitted that to anyone ever so as I say be gentle) I've decided if I'm going to change my eating habits, I need to be honest with myself and those I hope will support me.
I've learnt honesty is the only way after suffering post natal depression with my youngest daughter. I'm still suffering and on medication but my mood is under control most of the time.
Going back to my mum - I can't blame it all on her as I've lost weight before (on a calorie controlled diet and on we) so know I can do it but I've always gone back to old habits and gained it again. But I learnt a lot from her - my love of chip shop chips, eating a family bag of crisps rather than a 25g bag, having to have at least 5 biscuits with a cuppa...... the list goes on.
Anyway this morning something snapped in me, I don't want my girls growing up like me,I want to live to see them have children children of their own and I don't want to feel so bloody hot n sweaty every summer.
As I said I've Done ww before and I don't like the new points system so I'm going to give sw a chance. I'm quite impulsive and now I've decided I've gotta do it before I lose the courage so I'm joining tomorrow morning, reading the literature tomorrow afternoon and starting Sunday as I have a girl's night tomorrow.
Hopefully I'll be able to offer support to you all and hope I can gain supply from you all....
Next instalment to come soon
