I have always been a bit overweight, but always been ok with my weight and fitness. When I was 40 i had climbed to 13 stone and over the course of a year lost 3 stone. It came back and in 2013 I was 12 st 12 lb....I have lost since then and managed more or less to stay around 10st 7 lb. I would like to be 10 stone again. My husband is genetically slim, we eat well and sensibly it is the in between things that let me down. For example he can buy a multi pack of kitkats and eat one a day, I would have eaten the lot with in an hour.
I can happily go with out chocolate, cake etc until it is in the house then it calls to me.
I have found using fat secret very helpful, but i am guilty of not posting my food intake on bad days.
I feel better for losing weight, I had begun to suffer from acid reflux and watching my diet means I can manage this without medication so that is the spur I have rather than being sylph like, which is never going to happen anyway.
