Once upon a time...or ready steady go!

[L.i.n.d.a]

Day one again for me. Doing ww points, when was at club, they recommended 38 points a day for me.. Theres Lots of bad s*** happening in my life right now. Gotta try one good thing. And yes I have restarted diets thousands of times in my life. But I am starting again today, my start weight is a disgustingly obese 19stone, 10 pounds. Goal 9 stone...haha..So ill start with this first 50 lbs first...*

Good luck

 

[L.i.n.d.a]

Thanks Clh..Im doing it on my own, using old books I have, as cannot afford class, ...so need lots of luck....

You wont need luck if you have determination hun

I restarted last week after ballooning to 21st 5lbs again. Had managed to get just below 20st before going mad. I refuse to ever be this size again, it rules my life completely to the chairs i can sit in to what holiday is best for me.

Never again, we can do this

 

[L.i.n.d.a]

Lets hope so, Well done for restarting and for having such a great attitude. Ive onr foot on the first step and have to constantly fight my struggles. I also have those youve mentioned. Being an emotional eater is a bind. Do you mind me asking your age? Im guessing around 27 cos of your screen name? Silly guess? Im an old biddy of 41, thinks like Im 21, feels 81....

 

[Loser85]

Im 27 in Sept linda so a good guess!

Also an emotional eater and a binger too. Im surprised my WW leader hasnt given up on me yet ive mucked her about so much. But bless her she kept my card and said she kned id return eventually we just have to be ready for it. Losing weight isnt easy regardless of what people say. Little by little we'll get there though and each shiny 7 on my card is a stepping stone to better health.

 

[L.i.n.d.a]

Well Im sure youll do it and wont waste the next 14 yrs of your life til your my age and state of health trying to do so....

Hi and welcome :0) good luck on your weigh loss journey :0)

 

[Loser85]

You're giving it a go now though which is the main thing.

My mums 57 in Sept and shes onto WW for her 2nd stint. Shes not quite as heavy as me but shes still getting there. Shes nearing 2 stone gone in 4 months i think it is. Nearly half way to her goal too. Doesnt matter how old you are hun if your ready now then thats fine.

 

[sapphirestara]

Me and you both!!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

I see it as something I can control if it helps you at all?

Thinking of you and welcome to the journey!! Xxx

Thankyou everybody for your very kind words...I know 41 isnt that old, but I wanna be 41 in the jennifer aniston way...someone who has looked after her body....Good luck on all your journies too*

 

[sapphirestara]

Good luck! I started last year at 19st 5.5lbs, lost 30lbs then mucked about for eight months. By sheer luck I managed to mostly maintain and restarted two weeks ago at 17.2. After first week I was 16.11, and I have 2nd weigh in today x

Hi Hun. I started out 4weeks ago weighing 19 stone 10 so near u and I am now 18 stone 13.
U will get there think of mini targets first as 9 stone is a lot when u first think of it but for instance I wanted to be 14 stone something by Xmas and its getting nearer every week.

I am 31 btw so only 10 years younger and 41 is NOT old young lady!

Cme joins and do a diary I am finding it a massive help with various girlies on here who follow and comment. It really spurs me on. Xxx

Oh and a bowl of healthy pasta, dunno what triggered it, but I feel lousy and bloody useless...why cant I control my self loathing, the day isnt over yet....:'(

 

[bulldogdaisy]

I've lost track of the number of times I've been back to the same WW leader over the last 5 years! I'm also an emotional eater and I binge a LOT.

Thing is for some people losing weight IS easy. My husband decides to do it and he does. I have come to accept that I am not like 'normal' people and I am in fact powerless over food. It totally controls me. So I'm working on that. And as I'm working on it, the weight is finally going. WW alone can't do that.

Good luck L.I.N.D.A.
