Then use that as motivation Hun..
The key to slimming world is organisation. You will be healthy and you will love the way you look..
It doesn't matter that you were off track, what matters is that you take this by the horns now and take each meal at a time and you will lose weight.
I have been over weight my whole life. Both me and my younger sister were born 9 lbs each, she...? She's wonderfully tall and slim, whereas I was over weight my whole life. I was 8 stones at the age of 8, and i remember my teacher asking me to stand on the scales after seeing her weigh in at 8 stones, and i thought.. How can I be the same weight as someone 4 times my age!
I was lucky that i was never taunted by my peers at school,i was the 'fun fat popular agony aunt' girl at school, was blessed with alot of friends, more male than female for most of my years, but i hated everything about my body. I hated and still hate my belly the most.
When i was 20 I loss about 3 stones through the Atkins and just general healthy eating when i was at home one summer from uni.. But when i went back to uni after the summer I put all the weight back on...
Then I met my husband in 2008 and he was everything I wanted in a man: he was kind, funny, incredibly ambitious, hard working and so.. So caring. He understood my battle with weight because he was seriously overweight at one point but he put his mind to it and lost so much weight.. He was a slim jim when I met him. He used to go to the gym 5 times a week, used to eat super healthy meals..but he never judged me for being over weight and was only interested in me being healthy..
but then he stopped going to the gym, because of me.. Well i say its me, he says its his own doing.. But i guarantee you if i had been slim he wouldnt have stopped going.. I ate unhealthily so did he.. And since weve been married he's put on 3 stones.. And I blame myself every day for that.
2010 i was constantly I'll from one thing or another: throat infection, kidney infection, fever, generally being tired, always feeling upset, depressed.. I had enough!
Enough of feeling so **** all the time, enough of feeling like the fat friend when we get together, enough of looking at Evans instead of new look. I just had enough.. So 14 march,2011 I joined sw and i have not looked back.
I tell you all this because you should not, for one minute lose hope and faith. It's okay to feel sad for a while but don't let your emotions dictate your eating now Hun. I wasted so many years being fat. Im only 26 and i don't want to be fat at 30.
Make a menu for the week, then make your food shopping list, go get the food and you'll be fine.
We're here if you need us.
I'M here if you need me.
