I might even be able to beat my original goal....

Im usually a very negative person, in any situation, and my weight has been a battle for the last 7 years (divorce, post natal depression, put on lots of weight, viscous circle).

My sister told me about this site before xmas but I didn't bother going on here until 45 days ago today, and I still cant believe that I have lost 15.75 lb so far. Without much effort. I have always wanted to control what I eat in a realistic way, but never found the right way, but using the food diary on here is great, I wouldnt be without it, or my kitchen scales and measuring spoons.

I am still eating my favourite foods, Chinese and chocolate, just smaller quantities but dont feel like I am missing out. I am definitely NEVER cutting out any foods completely.

So 45 days = 15.75lb, I have 59lb until I meet my target, which is February next year to get into my lovely wedding dress that I have already bought..... but I now feel confident that I can carry on past that goal, and continue until I am very happy with how I look and very healthy.

There are 7 more 45 day blocks until my wedding date, so I can potentially loose more than the 59lb by February.....watch this space! I am already looking forward to putting on before and after pictures! lol.

I feel in control of my weight for the first time since I was at school!

I just thought I would share that with you all :)
