Hi, feel v embarrassed to be back

[jodidi]

You proberly dont remember me, I did post a couple of years ago and i've just re-read your replies and i feel so embarrassed that you gave me such encouragement and I blew it I dont think I made it passed the first day!

I've been lurking for quite a few mths now, but I didnt dare post until I knew I was ready to! Alot has changed, I'm now the very proud mum of a 4 month old little baby boy who is cute as a button !

However, I will be weaning him soon and I dont want to set him a bad example, how can I expect him to eat the healthy foods I want him to, if all I eat is junk! I'm so scared he'll end up like me and I wont let that happen! Luckly when I was pregnant I lost weight and when I had him I weighed the same as I was when I concieved then after I had him I lost over a stone without tryin but I'm slowly putting it back on, I feel like I wasted that opportunity to keep losing weight!

When I lasted posted I was 26 now i'm 28 and nothing has changed, I'm going to be 30 soon which I'm not happy about but what I'm even less happy about is that I've wasted nearly all my 20's being overweight and therefore not doing the things I wanted to do! Now I've got a little boy I want him to have an active lifestyle with me and his dad, we need to show him the way!

I am actually fed up of eating junk now, some of it doesnt even taste that good but it is an extremely bad habit I have got into! This time I want to start Atkins by myself I'm not going to tell anyone, I need to do it on my own for a bit and then I'll tell my hubby and I know he'll do it with me, but I want to prove to myself first that I can do it!

You'll do just fine. When you are truly ready you will know and the sooner the better although you know that. I am on my 18th day and feel really good abou the upcoming results. I hope your able to stik with it because after the 2-3 day. Its easy to kick the cravings and if you get them later its easier to just say no then too.

Thanks I think I'm ready now, I have so many good reasons to do it and non to not do it!

i will definately be popping in the century club, i've read stories on here of people losing the same weight as me and more and they got the same problems with food as me and it is encouraging to know it can be done
