Hi, I'm Bex and I'm a size 12...

So, a little about me and my weight loss struggle...

I recently hit 30 and boy, don't I know it! As a youngster, I was always a size 6/8 (UK) dipping into bouts of anorexia and bulimia. I hit a point (aged 22) when I realised how much I actually loved food. So from there my love affair with food really started. After 8 years of stuffing my face and 2 pregnancies, I now weigh nearly 12 stone and my dress size is a 12 (UK). I must add that I did do my fair share of running whilst stuffing my face, completing several races and a half marathon last year. Now, due to operations I am unable to exercise until the end of my treatment, so I thought I would try (another) diet.

I have followed several diets in the last few years, Weight Watchers, Slimming World, 5:2, Dukan Diet, and ok, they may work, but I am impatient. When I set my mind on wanting something, I want it yesterday! So for me, the results were not quick enough. Which is why I failed. I wasn't willing to put myself through weeks and weeks of dieting for slow results. I need something which comes off and that I can keep off by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

This blog will hopefully allow you to follow my journey day by day, as a sort of food diary.

So fingers crossed, here I go...
