My Story

Hi Dolls,

growing up all my life I was always a healthy weight I was never an overweight person never ate junk food, take away's or fizzy drinks! That was until I became pregnant! Over the nine months I was waiting on my lovely little boy to arrive I did nothing but eat sweets and take away's! I went from a size 8-10 and 9st 4lb up to a size 16-18 and 12st 11lb!! I didn't see my weight as a problem as I though 'oh when I have my little boy it will fall off!!' Eh.... was I wrong or what ha-ha 

My weight never really bothered me but for the last year or two my confidence has really taking a knock over it. I absolutely hate summer time I hate showing my body any part of it!

I cant even look at myself in the mirror and feel disgust about my self and my body! And I really want to change that! I want to feel happy, sexy and confidant, I want to wear all the clothes I look at but never have the bottle to buy or even try on! I don't want to have to keep looking to the back of the clothes rails for my size I wanna just go into a shop and pick up a top or dress from the front wear they hang all the small sizes! I know everyone is lovely no matter size, shape or color they are but when you have no confidence you don't think straight! 

So far my weight has gone from 12st 11 lb to 11st 8lb :) I'm soooo happy with they weight I have lost everyone is telling me that I look great but for some strange reason I still haven't seen any difference in my clothes... well apart from one or two things but that's about it. I still have another 16lbs to lose but I know that I will get to my goal weight this time and be happy with my body! 

When I started out wanting to lose weight I was all about the final picture but going to my WW  ( weight watchers ) meetings has made me look at making smaller more realistic goals.... saying to your self  'I want to lose a pound by next weeks weigh in' is a good goal but saying ' oh by my next weigh in i want to be down  8 pounds is not only bad for your health but very dangerous aswell! 

If you stick to small goals you will always reach your bigger goal in the end!

As for exerciser I walk for about 4-6 miles a day, I do the EA Sports Active Fitness Game for the Wii Console for about 40-55mins most days, this game kicks butt it is so hard... for me anyway ha-ha :) If im not doing the Wii game or walking I'm running the house playing games with my son, having a 3 year old wears you out and is such a great workout  ha-ha

One thing that always sticks in my mind is a saying that I heard one day at one of the very first WW meetings that I went to and that saying was......
