  • i'm so determined!!

    hey everyone,
    well i'm jane from essex in the uk.i'm 25.

    so anyway 2008 was definately not my year. i lost my job,my flat,my car got stolen,in debt,you name it it happened.

    so instead of being my bubbly outgoing self,i was in all the time sorting out my paperwork,phoning around for jobs,and mostly BINGE EATING.and i mean the works,i was eating like 7 big meals a day (by the way i suffer from insomnia so that just added another 8 hours in the night to eat too).

    i would eat daily on top of my meals,several icecreams,flapjacks,kitkats,anything i could find at the corner shop that was very bad basically.the bloke at the shop even asked me if i was expecting, as he's never seen me buy so much junk ever.and can you believe i actually said yes,just because i was embarassed about anyone knowing how much junk i was eating.i think i was kinda going through a bit of depression or something,cuz i've never been like that around food.
    and off course because i wasnt exercising or even walking,my body was just getting fatter.

    i will admit that i am lucky in a way i guess,i went from a uk size 6/8 (us 2/4) to a uk size 10 (us 6) for 5'8''. and in weight,well this time last year i weighed 48kg at the doctors and a couple of weeks ago i weighed 59kg.

    maybe some people think this doesnt sound too bad,but honestly i just look unhealthy.i have skinny ankles,legs and arms,and then i've just got a load of fat round my hips,top of thighs around the bum,the bum,and bottem of my belly.it just looks so wrong!!! not to mention what its done to my complexion.my skins gone flaky with little spots.

    so anyway my goal weight is 50kg,and i'll be happy if i get back into my jeans,even if they will be tighter than what they used to be,i dont care.i just want them to fit.

    i really dont feel confident anymore.i feel so heavy and sloppy.i hate wearing anything that shows my figure off,so i'm literally living in baggy clothes,i feel so unfeminin

    but no more moaning!!! i'm gonna stick to this, i'm gonna get back to looking and feeling good. I'm then gonna finish with my debts, move town, and start over.

    i am so excited about this.i really feel that all of this happened for a reason.i'm not sure what that reason is yet lol, but i'm a strong believer in karma. think positive and do good things, and you will be surrounded by postivity and good things.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

    Superjane, I am so sorry for the awful run of bad circumstances you've had to deal with. That would get anyone down.

    But I am so proud of you for taking charge of the things you CAN control... like your way of eating!!!

    I'll bet your confidence returns as soon as you start losing weight. And that should help you deal with all the other things a lot better, too!

    So glad you joined us!

      Hi Jane welcome aboard! you've come to the right place for 10 pounds or 100. Work Atkins and it will work for you!

        Welcome to the board, superJane!

        You have a great attitude and it will take you far! And you will definitely feel much better once you have your eating under control and that will help with everything else that's going on in your life.

        I wish you the best of luck with everything!

          Hi Jane,

          Welcome to the forum! I like your usename

          Sounds like 2008 was a rubbish year. A lot of us here can understand emotional eating. Atkins really helps to cut this down.

          Best of luck, and let us know how you get on

            AWWWWW THANX EVERYONE

            yeah i'm already starting to feel better.the weight is dropping off really fast.its quite astonishing!! and i dont seem to be having any proper cravings like chips,or icecreams,and stuff.

            i tell you what tho, i could murder for a cuppa with milk and 2 sugars.thats so wierd.i know i could probably have a plain caffeine free tea on this diet,but its not the same as when its properly done with the milk not cream,and off course SUGAR lol hahaha.but i'm coping lol hahaha. i'm just so focused on dropping the weight that i just keep thinking to myself,"whats better?having a tea which i'll down in 3 min? or being slim and confident?" ,theres no comparison

            anyway guys...its day 7 yayyyyy!! just another 7 to go and i'm through to the next round lol

            i am so happy i decided to do this!! i cannot believe how much has come off,but yet how much i've been eating,its just the best.

            GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AND THANX AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR POSTIVE COMMENTS
