I've just joined the forum and thought I'd start writing my (hopefully) 'weight loss diary' ;-)
I'm 22 from england and married to a wonderful man. For my wedding in 2004 I lost 4 and a hlaf stone in just 9 months. I felt fanatastic!! I was beautiful, I felt confident and I even did some modelling.
But over the years, it's crept back on and now I'm exactly twice my weight I was. I'm now 18 and a half stone, a BMI of 40!! My thigh is about the same size as my waist was then...
Today is the day I change, I just want to be the person I was. Not worrying about what people think or feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. Feeling free to enjoy myself knowing that people aren't thinking I'm fat. Like before I could be this fun, vivacious personality who dressed up in the nights out with velvet, jewels, makeup and my hair done. Now I just feel I'd look stupid.
I also have a problem, that my mother constantly reminds me of my obesity which makes me very depressed.
I feel quite positive, I'm looking forward to getting slimmer. I'm going to eat healthily but not deprive myself. I think I will have a homemade pizza ONCE a week. I do LOVE food so I'm going to allow some treats and focus a lot on the exercise. And I'm very lucky that my hubby really does think I'm beautiful whatever size I am.
I don't yet have any photos uploaded of me now, but here's my incentive photos - photos of me when I was slim:
