ProPoints CarlyLanky140's Weight Loss Journey (28/155lbs)

Hi

Just reading your diary and it cried out to me. I have been trying to loose weight since I was 20 (now 46) . I got to goal about ten years ago with ww and held it for 6 years . then had numerous health issues (back opperation, early meno P , thyroid ,depression ) and am back strarting again but I think a big part of me taking so long to get back was my self esteem was shot. I have been working with a therapist for the last few months and she has taught me that I am a strong person who can change my life and not a victim . I feel so much better and strong .
keep up the good work . remember you deserve this . you can change your life
 
Thanks very much for ur reply :) I do worry that I won't make or that even if I do I will have loose skin but I can do it :) x
 
Well done on your losses :) you're doing great
 
Thanks hun! How are u doing? Which plan? Xx
 
In my first week of pro points. Weigh in on Monday and I'm really excited to see how I've done. I did it before a few months a go but college and work got in the way and I don't think I was in the right frame of mind. I am now though :)

Hello anyone who follows this thread :) Just a bit of an update...

In any one stint on a diet the most I have lost is two stone before putting it and more back on.. and more recently on SW the lowest I got was 18 stone 7 so I can't wait to break that barrier and prove to myself I can do it...

Breaking a barrier this week too - I started SW a couple of years ago and never managed to be good for more than two weeks in a row.. now I am on ww I am confident that it can fit around my life (and I can still be sociable!) and so I am pushing through my third week...

Bizarrely despite that fact I love routine I find being at work harder to diet - what with the cake for peoples birthdays and the fact I am hungry by 10.00... but I have decided that I need to make more filling choices for brekkie and lunch and that this will help...

I am still desperate to work on eating more food but know that I am putting so much pressure on myself that I can't face it... so I think I need to take one day of one week at a time and maybe aim to try one thing every day for a whole week... :)

I also really want to start C25k but couldn't face doing this outside on the roads in front of people... I am a member of a gym and also have spent a lot on a wii and some games - and at the mo I am very busy and angry at myself for wasting money - I need to go to gym and use wii!!! I think I need smaller targets tho coz I always expect too much too soon of myself...

I am feeling in control of food (even though there are issues as to fruit/veg/fish etc)

I was on antidepressants for over 3 years and decided that 2011 would be my year - again I set my targets too high but one thing I have managed is to come of the tablets all by myself.. I do have my low days (this week has been a full week of them!) but I know I am a stronger person!

I also want to save money for car/ house - so far I have a credit card to pay off and money is a massive stress - but I am a fully qualified solicitors in June and so I am hoping the pay rise (unsure of amount?!) will help out and I may be able to start saving... I also want to go to New York - it is the only place I want to visit - and want to do it when I am slim - am thinking of saving up to take my best friend as a surprise hen do...

I am her bridesmaid in August next year and so I would like to be at goal (or near) - I don't want to let her or me down - the other bridesmaid is a stunning size 8 and I will not be the fat lass in the piccies!! My only concern is that she will want to buy dresses soon - but she has said she just wants us in same colour and not necessarily style so may persuade her to wait - if worst comes to worst I could get one made nearer time if nothing in the colour....

So money/ sharing house with family (small fridge / freezer so constant arguments about me buying food - which incidentally is costing a lot at mo - although probs not as much as all the meals out I used to have) etc all stressful

I love my job - but feel a bit out of my depth right now especially as I will be in court as of June - so over the next few weeks I somehow need to fit in eating, working long hours, more exercise and loads of reading haha... and try to see my friends (who can also be a source of frustration - I always have to make the effort....)

This must seem very rambling and negative but it feels like a blog/ diary when I can just get it all of my chest.

I genuinely am a lucky girl to have met some lovely people on here who I know will support me all the way through this journey - and I am going to reach my goal this time!! I am a lucky girl coz I have a job and I do have some great friends (even if they are busy/hopeless)! Everything is fixable and controllable and I CAN DO THIS!

If anyone made it this far I am impressed lol... Much love :) xx
 
I'm sat listening to mellow music... Just feeling physically sad... If anyone knows what I mean?! I have no idea why... Seems to stem from film I saw - was awesome and lovely... Think I maybe feel lonely for first time in a while... Chick flicks have a lot to answer for lol!

I am so depressing on here this last wk!! Screw this - I am awesome and when I believe that other people will too :D
Xx
 
PMA! One day at a time :) I will be happy and have the life I've always dreamed of! :) X
 
Thanks Jo! It's a really good point about exercise! I will aim smaller coz it's better than nothing :)

Im feeling more positive today and in control :) I can do this - just one day at a time!

How are u doing at mo? X
