Hello all

My name is Sam and I was a member previously back in 2007 when I weighed 14st 2lbs. So whats happened since......
Thanks to support on this thread I joined a Rosemary Conley wieght loss group and lost 2 stone.
August of 2009 I found out I was 8 weeks pregnant and started to maintain weight, sadly at 8 weeks in September, I miscarried and threw myself into weight loss again losing a further 7lbs.
Boxing Day of 2009 I found out I was expecting again and again went to maintaining weight but stopped all exercise due to fear of a repeat. January 2010 I had my first scan thinking I was approximately 8 weeks only to be told that I was in fact 16 weeks pregnant and the baby looked underweight due to my loss of appetite and a strict diet and exercise routine I had been on so I left my weight loss group and tried to enjoy my pregnancy
July 2010 my daughter was born two weeks late weighing a healthy 8lbs 11ozs! I went straight back down to 12st.

Since then I have been a bit lapsed on my healthy eating and in fact have no sort of regular eating pattern at all - for the last 17 months I have picked on the run and eat a lot of junk food - the nearest I get to a meal a week is sausage and chips from the chip shop opposite my work on a thursday night shift where I work 5 - 10pm and can basically eat junk all night - despite having fresh fruit there and available!
Today - christmas dinner - I have eatne two plate fulls and realise how much I need to get myself sorted with my eating regularly as I seem to have developed this weird phobia of sitting and eating a meal and Ive no idea why.

So I have decided I need to return here now. My partner has mentioned a holiday in September for our 10 year anniversary to spain or somewhere similiar which ultimately means I will need to shop for a swimsuit and at the minute I have no body confidence so am really dreading it.

So I look forward to making new friends here and encouraging others too.

Love

Sam
