Hey Ladies (and men),
Been a while. A very long while indeed. And I'd love to be coming back in telling you all how in the two years since I've been gone I managed to maintain my weight loss and living life as less of me (in size) was going great.
But that would be a fib. So let's not go there.
I've even tried to restart a couple of times but my head just wasn't in that place and I never managed to replicate what I managed with Slimming World the first time around. SO this time, before coming on here with a big TA DAAAAAAA and announcing I'd be here asking for support again I thought I'd give it a couple of weeks to check that this time I really really meant it.
And I did it and I even managed to get through Christmas and pretty much stick to the ideals of the plan (if not the letter of the law) and I weighed in this morning and I'm now 4lb down from the start.
So it's working. Well, we all know it works, I know, you know everyone knows. It's just those times we lie to ourselves about how good we are being sticking to a new healthy eating plan when we're really smuggling ferrero rocher into the bedroom at night and hoping nobody spots it. And the person you're hiding that food from doesn't actually care (unless it's their ferrero rocher of course) and the only one you're punishing by being super clever at hiding your real food intake is yourself.
I'm waffling again aren't I? I kind of that did that before. BUT.... one of the parts of being successful before I really believe was coming in here and having a little vent with you guys and rattling on as if everybody is captivated by what I'm saying when you probably all just skipped to the last sentence to see if I'd lost any weight and moved on. See..., I know
Anyway. Lets see how this goes this time. I'm guessing most of you are probably pretty new to me (and me to you) so if you're interested/bored/a glutton for punishment my previous diary is here: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/199047-weigh-life.html
but I'll be doing my 2nd attempt at letting the thin girl inside me out again right here.
Looking forward to making new friends and offering/sharing the support here
