Well i have seen alot of these types of threads on here and thought why not, if i post this then when i am having a bad time i can look back and see wat i have achieved.
Well i am 29 years old, live in hampshire, married with 2 georgous girls, 5 and 2 years old, they keep me on my toes!!!
i have been overweight since secondary school, all through my own fault, all i ate was crap, mum couldn' get anything healthy in me, refused anything slightly healthy and was always stopping at the shop on my way to school, at 16 i started work so had my own money and there was nothing stopping me eating even more rubbush, met my huband who although a very fit man eats for england so guess what, my portions got bigger, and cooking in my own home helped me avoid veg!!!
Joined Slimming world for the first time in 2003 and lost 1.5stone taking me down to 13st13lbs, then got pregnant and i have no idea where but found a hell of alot of weight. never really bother with anything for 3 years and in that time had another baby, got weighed at my midwife booking appointment and then the day before the baby was born and i had not put on 1lbs during my pregnancy which the midwife was very pleased with as this meant i had managed to lost about 1.5 stone while pregnant so was really excited about what i would be after the baby was born, anyway during my mat leave i managed to find a few stone!! where did that come from???? to many coffee mornings me thinks. One good thing, having the girls made me eat veg, cos if Mummy and Daddy eat it it must be good!!! can't avoid no more as i worry the girls won't eat it.
Decided enough was enough and joined slimming world in April 2008, weighing 18st 4lbs:wave_cry::wave_cry:, i went home and cryed, disgussed with myself i vowed to change, that lasted till i had lost 1.5 stone!!! beginning to see a pattern!!! started using Slimming world as a social event and wasn't bother what the scales said, whata waste of money. dear old hubby has been very supportive but did say enough was enough we didn't have money to waste if i didn't take it seriously i was not to go anymore :cry: spoke to m leader who said i made be able to get free on a GP referal, went to docs and he offered me Xenical instead, i was so excited.
My biggest fear is my girls will be big!!! i let them have sweets but limit them and every meal includes at least 1 veg, i constantly watch what they put in the mouths and question myself over their portion sizes and now i am worried my 5 year old has noticed this, i don't want them to realise what i am doing, i want them to eat healthy b ut i don't want them to grow up having an issue with food like i do :sigh::sigh:
well brings me up to date now, been on Xenical for 8 whole weeks and lost 12lbs so pleased, can't wait to get down to 15 st, then 14 st, i have no idea what my final target will be when i fit in clothes i actually like wearing i hope!!!
sorry its long got a bit carried away
