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
