Starting AGAIN..This time its for good!

Kelly_1981

Hi Everyone,

My name is Kelly I am 29, married with 2 children, 30 is coming like a concord plane! The time that has passed between teens to now has passed by like a flash! I left school a slim UK size 10-12 and I am now in a size 18-20 and I dont recognise myself. When I look in the mirror straight on it seems ok however when I see a picture of myself I feel like I am looking at a "fat" me. I have PCOS and have struggled with infertillity issues since my little girl was a year old (I have 1 biological child and my "bonus" child who is 13 this year who I have raised since he was 2) I would love to have another baby before I get too old, my family doesnt feel compleate and I tell people " I dont mind, I have my babies". This is true I am blessed but I would love another.

I am sick and tired of starting Day 1 of the diet over and over and now weigh 13stone 9 (well that was the last time that I weighted myself) I have tried it all but I seem to fall off the wagon before It gets over the starting line. I dont want to begin 30 as a frumpy women. Me and my Husband will celebrate 10 years of married life on the 18th August and to celebrate we are going on a family holiday to Turkey, we havent been on holiday for years and I want to look back and be happy with the pictures not deleting every one that I am in.

I did loose quite a bit of weight 2 years ago on slimming world and it seemed so easy but after having little treats and not going to class because I knew what I was doing, I have put it all and more bacck on! I remember feeling amazing when I lost it all and I look back at a few of the pictures I have and thinking I want to get back there, I fitted in to a size 12 but didnt get to get used to it because the weight piled on after "a night off, because I have been so good" I remember that I felt great, my husband who says "I love you no matter what" couldnt get enough of me but I shy away now because I am not happy.My husband also needs to lose weight and I sit and panic about what is going to happen in the next 10 years, what if he or I have a heart attack or some other deadly result of too much food.

I keep getting motivated and I now HAVE to do this not only for me but for my beautiful children, I want to be around to watch them grow and start their own familys, I want to be motivation for my husband and I want to be happy in my own skin.

If you have read this all then thankyou! This is the start and I will cross the finish line this time

Hi Kelly!! I have PCOS also. It has been a struggle for me as well. I just currently was put on Metformin by my doctor. It is a diabetic medicine but also works for people with PCOS. It will be 1 day short of 3 weeks on tuesday when I go to the Dr,. I will have to let u know how it works, or you can read up on it. I also want to be happy with me too! We sound alike! have a good day!

Hi Kelly!

You sound very similar to me also 29 - 30 in November!

I have been married 7 years but have been with my husband 13 years in November.

We would also love to have a family - hopefully soon if nothing gets in the way!

I went on weight watchers about 2 years ago and lost a good aount of weight but my priorities changed and I ended up putting all my weight back on!

I have decided that this time is the last time as I want to be a yummy mummy and have a slim outfit for my 30th!

Thanks for sharing

Godd luck and enjoy your weight loss journey
