I've just begun my second week of Slimming World. I've already lost 7.5 lbs and I'm feeling positive about the week ahead. However, to keep me on the right track, and to remind myself why I'm doing this, I'm keeping a Food Diary here.
Almost five years ago me and the OH moved into our own place and soon after decided to try for a baby as we felt it was the right time. But it was not to be. So, after what felt like hundreds of negatives, we went to see the doctor.
A few weeks ago we were refered to the fertility clinic, and were very happy! But after filling in all the paperwork and booking the consultation, we were told that due to my weight, we were not eligible for funding from the NHS (and we could never afford the thousands of £s it costs for the treatments).
So, I was told that we'd get no help until I drop about 10 stone! I was utterly embarrassed and felt so guilty that it was my fault we were "turned down". So now I'm completely determined to drop as much weight as is needed to get the help.
I am a little upset about the fact that I have to drop so much weight, though. My size has never been a problem for me, and despite always admitting it would be nice to drop a couple of stones, I hate the idea of being that thin! People say I'm mad, but fat is just who I am, and I'm happy with it. But if that's what it takes, I'm willing!
