This time next year .. · 1 January 2022

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Here it is... THE HONEST TRUTH 


I am starting my Slimming World Journey again. 2.5 years ago I was at my lowest weight after loosing 5 stone, I was 12 weeks pregnant and I looked and felt incredible .. now I am at my heaviest, I've had 2 babies in 2 years and gone through a pregnancy and birth in the first lockdown. I became incredibly upset and quite depressed last April, I couldn't see my family or friends and couldn't celebrate my pregnancy, I felt lost and quite alone - even though I had my wonderful boyfriend working from home and being an absolute superhero with our 1 year old I still felt low and out of control .. to compensate for how I was feeling I ate .. I ate a lot! My sweet tooth had gone into over drive and I was consuming family size chocolate bars, cakes and gummy sweets every day! I couldn't stop, my excuse was I was pregnant and it wouldn't be that bad? Would it? .. I had put on 1 stone with my first little girl and 4 stone with my second. Needless to say I was mortified, disgusted and shocked at what I had done to myself. I have zero confidence, my self worth and self esteem is at rock bottom, I couldn't be any lower. I hide behind my happy personality, pictures of food and my beautiful family (I won't have my picture taken with my girls as I hate how I look) I cannot sleep, I have really bad back ache and feel extremely unhealthy .. so 2021 I am taking charge 💪🏼 I CAN and WILL do this 💪🏼 I want to feel good about myself and love my mummy bod, I am not worried about stretch marks, c section scar or even extra curves, I will embrace the new me .. but I want to shed the lbs .. so I am doing a 'this time next year' challenge .. I hope to loose at least 4 stone, learn to love myself again and maintain a happy and healthy life ❤  .. here goes ... xx
