Ok so today I joined Slimming World ... Again, I could do the bloody welcome speech and patter myself, its always the same, the thing is I know everything she says is right and I know it works, i just need to get myself into gear and stick to the plan.
14 weeks ago I gave up smoking, something I honestly thought I would never do, I am not going to lie it was hard and the cravings haven't totally gone yet but it got me to thinking, if I could give up what people say is one of the most addictive substances in the world and not kill anyone or die trying then I am certain I can give up eating crap and start to exercise.
So these thoughts have been running around my head for a few weeks, and then the most embarrassing thing happened. I was flying to Glasgow (i fly a lot with work) when I sat down I could barely fit in the chair but I could not get the seatbelt to fasten, no matter how hard I tried it just wouldn't go... I had to ask the super skinny flight attendant for a seatbelt extender (in a hushed voice obviously)... If that wasn't bad enough she very loudly informed me (and my colleagues sat near me) that "if you cant fasten the seatbelt then you can NOT to sit near an emergency exit as I am too big and a health and safety risk" I was devastated, my work colleagues were pointedly looking everywhere apart from at me as they were embarrassed for me.
so to cut a long depressing story short, I have decided to do something about it and loose some weight, if I am honest the happy clappy vibe you get from class doesn't really do it for me (but i will continue to go to get weighed) it would be good to have someone on my wave length to talk to and support each other...
please let me know if you are interested in being a buddy, i cant promise i will be all flowers and bubbles, but I will be straight talking and will have your back xxx
