Hello...
I was sleeved in July 2014. My starting weight was 23st 4lb's (size 24/26) and over 12 months on I'm at 17st 2lbs (size 16/18)
In February I joined a running group and have gone from not being able to run 1 minute to completing 2 5k races. I was soooo proud of myself doing that! I've joined the gym but find I'm not using it...I feel self conscious in the classes and find the gym so boring on my own. I do swim more often but in the last 6 weeks that's stopped.
Old habits are well and truly back, I'm snacking on crisps and chocolate every day, I've got no interest in cooking for myself (although I cook for the rest of the family) so I live on salad leaves, tomatoes, mozzarella and either a little chicken or a samosa. I have that every day at work for lunch and most evenings for tea. It occurred to me the other day that I'm not following the no drinking before and after eating rule and I drink fizzy drinks. I love wine, cider and g&t and have been drinking far to much of all three. I pretty much never have breakfast and am certainly not getting 60g's of protein a day.
To begin with I was obsessed with this site and posting regularly and reading all the inspirational stories etc. and it really helped. I'm at home off work this week and so far today I have consumed 3 chocolate hobnobs, a freddo and 2 small packets of cheddars!!! I'm disgusted with myself. I haven't been running for 3 weeks and not even done any gym or walking.
So now I've stuffed my face I've decided it's time to get back on here, sort my life out and get back on track. I was to get to 13 stone. 4st 2lbs to go!!! I'm going to post on here daily and list my food and get back into that mind set!
I will be healthy and slim!!!!!
