HI!
I've been on and off the weightloss wagon since I was 18, Someone in my family encouraged me to go to weight watchers because they 'thought'' I would benefit and the weight has been up and down ever since. (that person had struggles with body image) If only I knew to trust in myself and love myself I think I would not have had this love hate relationship with food.
I look back at photos of then and I looked fantastic!
It was then at 18 that I started the emotional eating and negative talk in my head,sneaking food while no-one was looking etc... I have hated excersize since i can remember and was never good at it at school and always tried to get out of it. As a result of that and some car accidents and physical disabilities, I always walk for cardio to burn off calories, but after an injury in May I have been off my feet and my dr said I need to cycle or swim (non weight bearing). I haven''t ever learnt either properly and I'm so shy to learn. Today I went in the kids pool at the local and just started teaching myself! HA! The little heated pool was indoors and vacant and as I was doing my hydrotherapy in the 'big'pool ,I ecouraged myself to give it ago and man it gets your heart pumping!! I didn't swollow too much water hehe...I'll try again next week at the same time when theres no-one looking at me....:happy:
