I came across a cute blog a while ago called Diminishing Lucy and have been one of those annoying lurkers, so I have decided to start my own weightloss blog as I feel it could be quite therapeutic for me to expel my feelings in words here instead of ingesting them via chocolate or ice creams!
(Magnum Golds are satan's invention people!!)
I have been reading a few of Lucy's Fat to Fit friends blogs in the last few weeks so many of their stories are similar to mine, I had no idea that so many others felt the same way I do alot of the time and sadly I share the same recent heartbreak and disappointments.
My story
I lived in the UK for almost a decade and returned to Australia in 2007 with a new baby, lovely hubbie and almost 20 kilos of blubber. fast forward 3 years and I am still carrying 17 kilos of blubber - well done to me I have lost 3 kilos in 3 years, I am such an inspiration! um not.
I have realised in recent years that I am an emotional eater and since the last few years have been somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster (will share more in the coming months) and I know that I have to try and teach myself to seek refuge in things other than food if I am ever going to win this battle for lifelong health.
Dont you just love it when you hear of people who get stressed or upset and go for a run or do yoga to de-stress,well me, I buy chocolate/wine/ice cream, usually in that order!!!ha
I am 36 years old. I was slim at school as I was an avid ballet dancer and tennis player, then in my 20's I always ran or visited the gym which continued in London. I pretty much ate what I wanted probably to excess, my older friends always warned me that it would catch up with me sooner or later. Oh how I laughed , but when I turned 30 it was like my inner furnace light just snuffed it and all of a sudden it just was not working for me anymore and I put about 7 kilos and then I fell pregnant at 31 and I thought oh well will worry about it later, well it is 5 years later and now I am worrying about it.
Starting weight 86KG! yikes
I haven't linked up to this week's Fat To Fit yet (saving it for after my weigh-in tomorrow morning) but real glad you joined up and I look forward to following your journey!
