Hi all,
I've decided it's about time to begin a weight loss diary - I have a food diary which is updated *almost* daily and I find extremely useful but I think it would be useful to have somewhere to talk about my actual weight loss and how I feel about it rather than just what I've consumed that day.
To give you a brief overview of er, me. I'm 22, I live at home with my mum and brother and I'm currently at university training to be a nurse! I'm halfway through my course so if all goes to plan, in just over a year and a half I'll be a staff nurse and I can't wait.
My weight has been an issue for me as long as I can remember, the highest weight I can ever recall being is about 17 stone at the age of 17, I'm now 14st 13lb which is the lowest weight I can recall being for a very long time - however there's still a long way to go which is why I'm on here.
My motivations for wanting to lose weight are:
- I like feeling healthy, I enjoy going to the gym and I feel good knowing that I'm giving my body the right things.
- Due to being a student nurse, I almost feel that I should be 'practising what I preach' if that makes sense. I know that it isn't healthy for me to have a BMI of 30+ so I should be doing something about reducing it.
- I'm quite fashion concious and wish that I could wear clothes that I can't, purely due to my size. I also want to feel good when I go out with my friend's and not feel self-concious that everyone I'm out with is thinner than me.
- I want to feel comfortable in my own skin.
That's enough self-indulgence for now. I weigh in every Wednesday evening at a friend's with 3 of my friend's and one of their Mum's, it's lovely, haha, we sit, chat, have a b*tch, weigh and drink diet coke.
Anyway, here's to a 100% week. And if you've read all of that, then thank you for stopping by.
