Weight Loss Journey Intro

So I have decided to keep a blog of my weight loss, I use to keep a video diary on Youtube but that kind of fell apart.

This is just an intro into what I will be doing and talking about any struggles I have, and temptations which I already have slipped up today :( will come back to today in a bit I want to explain how my weight started and in a way how my faith is helping me combat this once and for all.

When I was younger I was not a fat child I still think I was but my mum says otherwise, but is was only when I saw pictures of me when I was younger (after finding albums which where hidden in the attic) that I was a slim child and a good weight for my age back then.

I think my weight problems began when I started Secondary school at 11 and there you could choose what you wanted for lunch for example, burgers, chips, pizza, sausages, cakes, cookies and such like, it wasn't like having school dinners when I was at primary school where the dinner lady had a set menu where what you chose to have to begin with the other went with it.

I remember most of the time it was just chips! The same for when I started college at 16 there you could go into town and again I would get chips the fav was curly cheesy chips in a cafe underground called the Cavern that's where most of the college went!

But my weight really spiraled out of control when I met my first boyfriend at the age of 17. He to was a big guy and after a year together we decided to move in together, we would have huge portions of chille con carne, spag bowl, with lots of cheese and fry ups and lots of takeaways of Chinese, Indian, Pizza and Mcdonalds.

In 2008 after 2years living with my boyfriend the relationship broke down and I moved back home and with in three or four months I went from being 18 and a half stone to being 15 and half but that didn't last long and I but on a stone.

I have also suffered from depression I had 4years of it and recently since coming to faith it has completely gone and no longer on anti depressants but whilst on then they didn't help me lose weight more retained my weight I also had a blood colt that put me back as well from dislocating me knee cap as I have had problems with my knees.

Now that my knees are good again and that I don't suffer from depression and that I am clear with blood clots I want to get my weight off once and for all as I want to have a healthy life I have been and ex smoker for well over a year now so that helps to begin with.

Anyway these weight loss blogs I will go probably about once a week and what I have eaten and what exercise I have been doing. SO to being with today, for breakfast I had toast with jam and then for lunch I had left over tuna mayo with some bbq sauce mixed into it with some cheddar crackers then this is the bit where I slipped up I had a packet of crisps and a four finger kitkat dark now Im off to have dinner.

I think I will leave it at that for this week and will blog again next Monday any suggestion or advice would be really appreciated :)
