As it says. I'm done with diets-I have struggles with my weight since I was 11- at the age of 20 and 16.8 stone I thought enough is enough and I embarked on the Cambridge diet. I lost 4 stone and felt fantastic. My 21st birthday was amazing feeling confident and happy within myself.
I kept the weight of-put on the odd pound here and there but all in all maintainedy weight. I was determined not to pile the weight back on.
A year and a bit on I fell pregnant
for the most part I managed my weight well and only over the last mo th did I really gain. Post baby whilst breast feeding I lost weight and water and actually felt pretty good.
When I finished breast feeding I felt it was ok to start dieting-it's been a downward spiral from there. I had been with 4lbs o my goal weight then binged myself back up past pregnancy weight :-(
I don't think my contraceptive helped-I'd never been so hungry. So weekend feasting bender where in preparation for the diet on Monday. Only the diet would come and go and but the pounds stayed and multiplied.
I'm back at the stage where I feel insecure an uncomfortable. I feel awkward eating out and felt at a loss. I know what I should and shouldn't eat. It's not rocket science! So I'm following now what I know. I'm fed up of denying myself this and that and letting food control me.
I've been on two runs this week and am ignoring the scales and have pulled the fridge and freezer full of rich good foods.
I think it is impossible for anyone who hasn't struggled with their weight (either being to big or to small) to appeiciate how hard it is.
My doctor said to me a good few years ago-when people have an addiction they can try and remove themselves from situations where they might be tempted. You cannot do that with food as its an essential part of life which is why food can be the hardest addiction for anyone to conker. I didn't know if anyone else wanted to have a place (thread) to share their experiences, thoughts or have an input.
