A little more about me
I thought it might be worthwhile letting you know a little bit more about me, and how I’ve come to be in the situation where I need to lose 30lbs!
I had struggled with my weight in my early twenties and eventually lost all the excess flab I was carrying round through a combination of WeightWatchers and exercising more. I kept the weight off for quite a while, but gradually it has crept back on.
I attribute the gain, this time, to a combination of things. Firstly, I began dating someone wonderful who took me out and spoilt me by taking me out for dinner and drinks. Then, as things became more serious, we started having more romantic meals at home together. So, some weight gain was an inevitable consequence of my increasing happiness! Since then, I’ve become ill which has resulted in an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and medication which does have the side effect of weight gain.
I am now hoping to lose this excess weight by eating sensibly and beginning to exercise slowly and gradually build up my levels of activity. Hopefully, this will have the added benefit of alleviating some of the symptoms of my illness.
