This is my story
I'm 39, happily married with three children aged 18, 5 and 2 and a half, and three step children. I am a secondary school teacher but i'm taking time out to look after children - the youngest of which is autistic. I was quite a chubby teenager until I was about 16 when I lost loads of weight and it stayed off until my late 20s... from then on I've just continued to gain weight - I've yo-yo dieted for the past 10 years - saying that I even went on the cambridge diet when I was 17 and I weighed 9st - I must have been mad!! Oh how I would love to be 9st again!
I have lost all motivation... to most people I come across as a confident woman who really doesn't care about her weight... the truth is that I hate myself the way I am and yet I can't seem to do anything about it... I buy diet plans/ shakes/ tablets, I'm enthusiastic for about a day then it goes out of the window! I just don't know how to pull myself out of this rut that I'm in... so I thought maybe I could get the support (and give some support) on this site. (If anyone sells motivation in tablet form please let me know!!)
I joined this site 3 years ago and lots has happened since then - including my very lively son anda serious illness which landed me in hospital (only came out 2 weeks ago and am now on the road to recovery - hopefully) - however, my weight crept higher and higher and after post-natel depression I topped the scales at 15stone 6.... I am now 13st 8lbs and I'm desperate to lose another 3 and a half stone, so I thought I would come back and join this site again and see if I can motivate myself to get back to 10st! xx
