Day 1
I suppose as this is my first entry I should tell you a little about me and why I am here writing this blog.
I am 32 years old, married to my childhood sweetheart and have a beautful daughter who is the light of my life. I work full time and also run a successful shop on Ebay.
Why am I here? Well I am morbidly obese and things have got to change. I owe it to myself and to my family as I am not happy or healthy as I am at the moment.
We have been trying to get pregnant for around a year and unfortunately nothing yet. I fell really quickly before but I was around 3 stone lighter so I am convinced that this is having a detrimental effect on our chances.
Over the last week I have been very poorly with pneumonia. After a visit to the docs and a weigh in and blood pressure check he prettty much told me he wouldn't recommend me getting pregnant with my history.
It was a harsh comment but one which really hit home and made me realise I need to lose weight before I get pregnant again for my health and more importantly the babies health.
So here I am day one of the Cambridge Diet. Its a bloody mad diet but it is one that bring fast results. I did the diet a couple of years ago and lost a lot but my own stupidity I fell off the wagon and ended up where I am now. Although I lost a lot I didn't lose enough to stop me from gaining the weight again.
I feel very motivated to do the diet and I know its going to be hard but I know that the results on the scales are worth the hardship.
My first mini target is to lose 10% of my weight, this is 29lbs and if I stick to the diet I should be able to achieve this in just a few weeks. This will take me just into the 18s which I haven't been for a very long time.
So this mini goal is all I am concentrating on for now and when achieved it will be a huge step for me on my weight loss journey.
I thought I would keep a diary on here as the site is really good for logging my weight and my measurements so I can visually see how well I am doing.
I know I am an emotional eater so rather than turning to food I will log all my thoughts and feelings in here.
