What was the final straw that forced you to lose weight once and for all?
I've always been bigger and since I can remember have always been attempting to lose weight since the age of about 11, when really I wasn't that overweight at all.
So almost 20 years later I'm bigger than ever despite constantly starting and failing diets. I'm so uncomfortable in all of my clothes (I'm size 22) and am achey and tired all of the time. We've got our first foreign holiday booked next year and know I can't go looking and feeling how I do. Not to mention that I would probably need a seat belt extender for the plane. I feel such a terrible failure and role model to my children.
I have so many reasons to lose weight but, despite how utterly miserable I am, nothing seems to give me the push to get real and do something! Two close family members have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes yet I'm still not getting serious
What was the final straw for you and what did you do to put the wheels in motion?
