Hello!!
My name is Natalie and I am 26. I am a primary school teacher with a huge food obsession! I adore cooking, eating, playing around with ingredients etc. But this has led me to be heavier than I have ever ben in my life. Some people may scoff at my weight and think I have nothing to worry about, but it doesn't matter how big you are, if you are unhappy it affects every inch of your being. Basically, at my heaviest I was 13 stone 5 pounds, that I know of - it could have been worse.
I had lost all confidence and self esteem, I couldn't look in the mirror, I refused to get completely naked in front of my boyfriend, I didn't like being touched and talked about. I hated myself. At this point I was also prone to binging as a comfort, eating whole cheescakes etc when feeling really low. I slumped into a vicious circle, a lifstyle choice that was making me bigger as I got more depressed, and more depressed as I got bigger.
So after Christmas I decided to do something positive. I decided to chronical my fight with the flab and my efforts to lose 2 stone. Along the way I am hoping to share the highs and lows with anyone who chances upon my blog. I am also posting recipes, tried and tested their calorie content.
I have started counting my calories and doing a little exercise. I refuse to adhere to diet plans as I don't think they promote a long term change. I have tried to change my outlook on food, what it contains and what effect that will have on my body. Its been hard work so far, but I am already feeling the effects!!! Its wonderful!
If you feel kind enough, click the link below and have a read of some of my ramblings.
Hope to hear from someone soon!!
