Hi Girls,
Ive decided that its now time to face the weight demons and thought this would be a great place to start. This is more a journal for myself so i have somewhere i can rant and rave about how bad/good ive been. But it would be great if i could have some friends/stalkers on here. I think i will share my story with you. Ive always been overweight but about 3 years ago i found a happy medium of 14 stone (bmi 34) and a size 16 i know to some this will seem huge but i had been 18 stone at my worse so as i could buy clothes in any shop i decided that id would just be happy myself.
I then fell pregnant with my 1st baby in summer 07 it was a complete surprise as i had tried for years when i was in my early 20s and with my ex but we had never had any luck didnt have any tests as we split up so i put ttc to the back of my mind but felt like it probably wouldnt happen for me. Fast forward 5 years and just about to hit the big 30 and id only been with my current bf for 6 months but we were very happy it was short lived though as when i had a scan at 13 weeks there was no heartbeat and the baby had died around 11 weeks i was devastatd and once again felt like i would never be a mum all i did for the next 3 months was to eat and put on 2 and a half stone. I then found out i was pregnant again and by this point my weight was 16s 7lb (bmi 40). My pregnancy with my son was very difficult and i put on 4 stone over the next year i lost 2 stone of the baby weight and then got pregnant with my daughter by this point my weight was 18s 7lb (bmi 45) I tried really hard over my pregnancy and only put on 16lb. I weighed myself for the first time today 5 weeks after having her and my weight is 18s 6lb so im back to what i was before i got pregnant. I would love another baby but as ive had 2 emergency c-sections the 1st was because of a placental abruption and the second was because of another problem with the placenta and the baby wouldnt tolerate labour. I have been told future pregnancy will be c-sections and i dont want another c-section until my bmi is under 35 so i have to lose 5 stone. Im really determined to change my lifestyle for the sake of my children as if i carry on this way i wont be able to run around with them.
I really dont eat huge portions of food but i do eat totally wrong foods. I hate vegetable and salads believe me ive tried them but they make me gag. So im gonna try really hard to eat better and excersise more now that my c-section is almost healed im gonna start by walking my son to nursery everyday its about a 20 min walk so a 40 minute round trip if i do that twice a day and take the dogs for longer walks this should really help. I will try and update everyday and i will be very honest. Im due back to work in march 11 so i would love to have lost a lot of weight by the time i go back as i hate my job and would like to be trying for a baby within the next year
Join me on my journey and good luck to everyone else trying to lose weight!
