copied from my lighterlife blog. x
ive been here before....... i dont doubt that many of us have been here before... but ive been HERE before lol.... ive done so many diets over the years. and this is what ive discovered about myself.....
before i had my son... (hes nearly 4, and i was just 19) i could eat whatever i wanted..... i wouldnt put on any weight, i was around 10-11st i think, of course i had no reason to weigh myself back then.... i fit nicely into my 10s n 12s n didnt complain at all..... x
when pregnant with my son i continued to eat whatever i wanted, as i had done for years and years, and OMG i put on roughly 5 stone !!! urgh, how horrific.
i went on to lost 2n a half st, god it was such hard work and took about a year and a half !!! then i fell pregnant again..... (ella-may now 2) i didnt put on 5 stone thankgod, but i did regain the 2 n a half that i just struggled to lose!
after ella i did lighterlife....
heres a quick run down of how it went for me..... i went from 15.13 to 14 stone, in 1 month..... i lost 9lb, 8lb, 3lb, 4lb (the 1lb and 2lb the 2 weeks after i had to stop).... and my bmi went from 35.1 - 31 and my dress size went from 20 - 14
i trailed off towards the end. i was in a very explosive relationship and had such a terrible time around then....... it resulted in me and my children being whisked away to live in a refuge to escape the violence.
i hated that i had to give up lighterlife.... i had wanted to lose the weight so badly!!
ive sat through many a lecture from people who APPARENTLY know people who've done lighterlife and lost loads and loads and put it all back on straight away....
well i know someone who did it... lost 8 and a half stone in a year and still looks just as good.... and i lost what i lost all that time ago (year and a half ish) and ive had another baby since then (little miss lola-lou 9 weeks old) and im roughly 14.7 now !! so i didnt put it all back on !!
ive decided that i only put on weight when im pregnant....... i dont really gain weight.... trouble is i dont lose it either.
the only thing thats ever worked for me is lighterlife.
i never had a problem not eating. i hated water to begin with but soon got used to it. and i loved going to my meetings and hearing the loss !!! i felt like i was making real progress.....
i start next week..... on the 20th...... and i cant even begin to tell you how excited i am !!!
i cant wait to give up food and feel like im on the way to being me again !!!
3stone to go.... maybe a few lbs more..... i wanna see how it goes.... x
so............ we gonna do this or what??
im game if you are x
