Over the years my weight has gone up and down like a blinking yo-yo! Unfortunately for me every time pounds have returned to me they have brought some friends along with them resulting in my ‘heaviest ever’ weight being larger every year 
When I got married in September 1988, aged 19, I weighed approximately 10 stone.
When I gave birth to my son in February 1992 my weight was approximately 20 stone.
Yes that IS right, in three years and five months I doubled my weight without really noticing, I know that sounds impossible but its true!

23st 7lbs | This is the next recorded weight … it was a stressful year, I left my husband in October ’07, it was a long time coming & even longer to sort out. |
| Here I spent a couple of years in denial, well I’ve spent most of the last two decades in denial in many ways. | ||

25st 13lbs | Here is what I had written in my weight record“No idea size except well yeah 32/5xI went & got weighed cos my rings no longer fit!!! My dragon thumb ring & pentacle ring L , my glasses have worn a trench in the side of my face & the ankle boots I got for xmas wont fasten – this last stone or so has gone on fast!!! Must be stress re lack of divorce + weight made back bad so can’t walk so doing less so getting depressed so eating more = wicked sinful circle.
Have been v depressed this last 6 months.” |
That is the Past!
The future started again on Wednesday 3rd August 2011 when I started Slimming World.
My weight then was 26st 5 ½ lbs … I survived that by my well favoured method of denial, I’ve not thought about what my weight it for the last seven months, I’ve concentrated on how many pounds I have lost, no not lost … thrown away!
A very brave and honest look at history Willow – but look at you now!!! You have done so well with Slimming World – and will continue to do well until you reach your healthy target! No more yo-yo’s – show them all that you can do this – because I know you can!!! You and I will be a shadow of our former selves! Mags xxx
