So it's my first time, in the history of my life, that I have ever begun to think about what I eat and how much I weigh.
I mean I have thought about both of those things, but in a more "Flipping heck I love chocolate, guess I'll always be fat" way rather than a healthy way.
It all started when my crush of two years (yes I'm 25 and still using the word crush in reference to guys) turned around and told me he was in love with me. Needless to say, after two years of back and forth, amazing sex, awful arguments, a lot of tears and my weight going up and down, I was absolutely ecstatic!! , He LOVES me! And wants to be with me, forever! This has never happened to me, I've been in love before, but he wasn't in love with me and I was about 12. But I have never felt this way about a guy before, never been this serious, and I'm pretty sure no guy has ever been in love with me.
So anyway. That was a couple of months ago, we're now together and working through all the crap from the past two years and I am now looking at myself and thinking I need to make some changes.
I want to be around for a long time, I want to look good next to him, I want to like photos of us together, I want to be healthy!!
Both my Mum and my housemate (Jes) are doing slimming world, so I figured I would give it a go. I was surprised at how easy it seems, there isn't anything you can't have, and it's a very easy way of eating! I'm impressed here people! I can't wait to see how it goes. I can't wait to get on the scales next week and *fingers crossed* have lost weight!! I can't wait to look and feel healthy! I'm not doing the meetings, so I feel like if I check in here every day and keep a food diary, it'll keep me accountable and help me to keep my head in the game.
So I'm 253 pounds, my target weight is 180!!
Here goes...

Sounds like you've got yourself a lovely bloke there. And the good thing is you're doing this for yourself, so good luck and I'm sure you'll get where you want to be in no time at all xx
