Hello...
I have been reading all the diaries on here and am finding them so helpful and inspirational! Now I've posted a few times and feel a bit braver I thought I would start one of my own!
My name is Kate and I am a serial dieter...I have fallen off the SW and WW wagon so many times and even tried CD a few years, I lost but put it straight back on.
In the last 3 years I have piled on the lb's, I have hidden behind my 'big and bubbly' personality for far to long and my self confidence has taken a nose dive in the last 12 months. I hate my appearance, feel uncomfortable in everything I wear and have started walking like I'm 62 not 32 because my weight makes my short fat hairy legs buckle under the pressure lol!! I'm sick of being told "yes but you've got a lovely face" I want to feel confident, comfortable and sexy!!!
I have a fabulous son, 9 and a wonderful OH who is very supportive bless him. I know he is proud of me doing this and that helps a lot! We plan to get married but their is no chance whatsoever that I would do it looking as I do!
My starting weight is 22st 7.5lb's wow what a whopper lol!!!
I can't face thinking of it as needing to loose 10+ stone so my first target is to fit into a size 18 , I'm size 24 at the moment.
Because of my BMI my CDC advised me to begin on SS+ well I wasn't keen, I feel that taking food out of the equation is the way forward for me, at the moment anyway! I started last Tuesday (15.05.12) and was 100% until Friday evening when I had chicken, salad and some baby new potatoes. I felt crap...like a bit horrible failure, vowed not to do it again but promptly did it again last night, (Saturday). If that wasn't enough I scoffed some popcorn my son hadn't finished :sigh:
Really annoyed with myself, I was thinking that because of my starting weight I may well do almost 1 stone in the first week and that would really motivate me to keep going. I'm not ketosis this morning and it's WI tomorrow so god knows what the scales will say.
I'm not going to do my usual though and think sod it and stuff my face all day lol. I'm going to go and get loads of sparkling water to drink today to flush those evil carbs out and get my butt back into ketosis.
It feels quite liberating writing all this down!!! I'm so glad this site is here for support from so many like minded people who all battle with their food demons as I do! It really makes you realise that your not the only one, this diet does work and we can reach our goals!!!

Hi everyone...just on the dreaded lunch hour!! Everyone is tucking into butty's from the van and I am sipping my strawberry shake!
Was going to go for a lunch time walk but have got ridiculous sandelette's on so given up on that idea lol! Have printed off the 50 reasons to loose weight thing off here and am goin through it and picking my fav's to put in front of my diary to keep me on track lol.
Nothing planned for tonight so going to drag other half out for a nice stroll around town...bit of window shopping for when i'm slim and divine ha ha.

Day 8 today! Could murder something to eat but I'm not hungry! Just proves to myself that I was a boredom, habit, emotional eater!
Filling up on water...night out with work on Friday and I've changed my mind several times already about wether to drive or not. I think I will...but the vodka diet coke fairy keeps whispering to me to get a cab lol! We'll see. It would prove to myself that I can go and have a fun night and not drink...I am going to drive! Decision made.
Feeling like I can tell the difference today...tried a couple of nice summery tops on this morning and they were fitting better. Going to be really ruthless this weekend and sort through my clothes. Thinking if I get rid of anything that's starting to feel to big or is a fat cover up style I will chuck (well stick on the car boot pile).
Three weeks on Friday til my holiday, just me and OH going to menorca. I'm so looking forward to it. I know that I will still feel self conscious round the pool etc but I will be feeling loads better than I would have been!!! Next year when I go I want to be the girl that wonders to the bar in her bikini rather than me in a granny style low leg, thick strap one piece desperately making a dash for the pool before anyone spots me and shouts for Greenpeace ha ha.
Boring report to do now at work then going to have a stroll in the sub whilst my colleagues attack the butty van!
Xxx

Well last night was a disaster...
I scoffed my way through the following:
6 x minstrels
1/4 of a jam butty
1 packed of crisps
1 packed of opti vita biscuits
2 x pitta bread's with chicken and salad
1 x bag of chocolate buttons
and a partridge in a pear tree!!!
Anyway drawn a line under that and been 100% again today. Plenty of water and 2 shakes down at the moment so got another to have in a while. Feel fine and back on track!
Its 3 weeks on Friday until our week in Menorca so if that isn't incentive I don't know what is!!! xx

Morning all.
Busy with meetings today so going to take plenty of water with me. Work night out tonight and I've volunteered to drive! This is unheard of so I'm very proud of myself! Have also had a menu so I've planned what I'm having (chicken and salad)
My OH's children are over this weekend so we've got a walk and swimming planned for tomorrow. That should burn some calories!
Have a fabulous day everyone! X
