So after a good two years of denial I finally got weighed at the Doctors today. Was completely shocked to find I have ballooned to 85kg (13st 5) and feel so ashamed I can't even bring myself to tell my husband! The past few years have been a rollercoaster for many reasons and I have piled most of my weight on due to not handling stress well, giving up smoking and adopting an attitude of "who cares" to what I have been eating and drinking (wine - I love wine!). But my body is telling me it needs my care and attention more than ever before; I have just turned 40 and been diagnosed with asthma! I need to lose 20kg to get back to my pre-giving up smoking weight, and having tried slimming world for a little while I know that I also need something where I don't have to be constantly worrying about what I am eating or drinking. I have too much going on in my life to be restricted all of the time! What is anyone's best advice for getting started on 5:2? And for sticking with it? My scales broke around 3 years ago - I am guessing I need to buy some new ones....feeling quite overwhelmed!!!
