Back, Again
Hey, I keep on leaving this site out of shame at my perceived 'failures' then coming back when things get bad. I always mean to lose the weight (and did for a while last year) then it came back.
My wake up call came in a changing room yesterday, one of those ones which have mirrors all around you so you can see EVERYTHING. Depressed me so much. I'm 27 but I have cellulite, huge thighs and back fat, as well as a belly. After this I went to Boots and weighed myself (it's a uk chemist and has machines which measure you too) and it told me I was 5'4and a half (taller than I thought actually) and 130lbs. I know this may not seem like a lot but I have a small frame and my ideal is 120lbs, although somehow those ten lbs seem impossible to shift.
It's silly how much this effects my life, my confidence, even my work, however it really does. I eat well and do yoga, but sometimes I overeat, crave sweet things or come home too late too cook and just grab a pizza. I also have a friend who I eat with a lot who can eat pretty much anything and who only seems to like super fatty foods. These evenings in with risotto and wine are relaxing and lovely at the time, but long term they are awful.
Anyway - I'm back and hoping to lose the weight by mid Sept (think that's a sensible goal, right?)
Anyone else struggle with friends who can eat whatever?
