Hi all.
As I'm sitting here watching the rain pour down at my window (good old British weather ), I'm gutted there is no sunshine but secretly relieved. Why? well bad weather means I can hide another day behind my coat. Sad as this may seem, and I can't quite believe that I'm being so honest and open here for all to read :o , but as someone who has been struggling to lose weight for 9 years, I dread the summer.
Summer for me means having to expose flesh when I would rather cover up :lol: It also means feeling hot and bothered and generally hating everytime I have to go out. Is this just me or do others feel the same?
At school I was called 'beanpole' and before I met my partner and had children was 11 stone, which for my height (5ft 11) was slim. Now I'm carrying an extra 5 stone and desperate to change the situation. I so badly wanted to come over to the geek stand at Excel, but couldn't bring myself to :o Being overweight is effecting many parts of my life, except nails :Love: and as I've hit rock bottom, wanted your thoughts and views.
I've tried every diet (sorry Sandi, I even fell off that one :o ) and as my hubby points out, I never stick with anything (except nails :Love: ) Do you think that diets work? Is it just a case of self control and everthing in moderation? For those of you who consider yourself at a healthy weight, how do maintain it and for those who have dieted, is it the fact that you will always be on a diet?
I was reading a book by Susie Orbach and the main tools are to eat only when hungry and stop the moment you are full? I'm not sure I'd know what genuine hunger is :Scared:
The rain has now stopped and the sun is trying to break through the clouds. I look forward to your thoughts and comments as I embark on a new chapter. My daughter makes her First Holy Communion on 12th June this year. I would so love to enjoy the day, instead of dreading it.
