I am writing this to read back in six months. You don’t have to read it, but I know that this will motivate me to keep going.
I am 5’4 and 19 stone. I have been dealing with horrific postnatal for one year and have gained six stone since birth.
I am deeply unhappy and am self conscious. I no longer make an effort with myself and my clothes are all huge. I have a double chin that makes me hate my face.
I was never like this. I was always slim and happy, my goal and natural weight being 10 stone.
Yesterday, I started a keto diet, because I am desperate to keep it up. And I am vowing to keep doing this and beyond getting to my target weight.
I know it will happen in steps and that’s okay, but I can’t be this way any more. I am unhealthy and anxious about leaving the house and even sitting in public chairs in case they break. This isn’t healthy.
I have a child who I need to be here for, so I am doing this for him as much as myself.
In six months, I hope to have lost four stone, and by one year, or even two, I hope to be back to where I was.
I hope I come back to read this when I am happy in who I am, and what I am.
