I am one of those people who do better under pressure. I set deadlines for myself and 9 times out of 10 I manage to achieve what it is I want to do. However, losing weight has never been one of the things I am able to achieve.
I’ve always been on the big side. With a chest like mine I realise I’ve got to have a bit of extra weight to carry it off otherwise I’d topple over all the time which would be most frustrating! But over the last four years I’ve managed to put over five stone on! Can you believe it! I eat when I’m happy but I eat more when I’m sad and unfortunately I have had one or two stressful situations to deal with recently. I’m not blaming anyone or anything in particular, I just love food. I have tried every diet there is and have even been on pills prescribed by my GP for weight loss. I did manage to lose just under two stone last year and I have kept it off until now but lately it’s been creeping back up again. I decided a few weeks ago that I need to do something about it.
I try and go swimming once a week and my friend and I are trying new exercise classes every Thursday. Last week was Dancercise and tonight was Bums and Tums. I’ve worked muscles tonight that have been lying dormant for the last few years. They’re going to hurt tomorrow!
Now I know this has nothing really to do with my search for a husband and I’m not saying I will find one easier if I was slim, but I think it would certainly help my self esteem and make me just that little bit more confident.
New goal = find a husband AND lose 5 stone.
Wish me luck! |
