So, this picture is me at 13 stone about 3 years ago, all dolled up in my 1950's pin up make up ready to go out. I went down to 12.5 stone at my lightest (started at 15st then). God I want to be this again so so so badly. I thought I was fat then, can you imagine if that girl knew she'd be 19 stone in 3 years time?? I can't believe I wasted those days thinking I looked horrendous...
I was bloody gorgeous.
Shock horror yes, that's big headed and probably against all modicums of Britishness I'm supposed to adhere to but look! I had cheek bones and everything!
Bah, I feel like I wasted that time so much by feeling ugly and fat, when I should have been brimming over with confidence. I actually, weirdly have more confidence now than I did then... Can you imagine what I'll be when I get back there??? That's a very exciting prospect
Looks like I just found a bit more motivation
Bring it

This gorgeous girl is still you, it will take being sensible and responsible (both boring, tell me about it) and your cheekbones and 50's frock will be back before you know it.
One day at a time huni, you've made the first move, coming on here, loads of support, tips, distractions. Look forward to future pics and positive days x
I know that feeling! I was 13.7 at my lightest (I'm 5 ft 10), I felt fat, I hated it when my fella hugs me and touched my belly, I thought I was really ugly. WRONG! I was stunning!
I have lost just over a stone so far, at my heaviest I was 17 stone 4. Now I feel miserable and hate my body (but my fella still loves me for who I am so why I worried about my little belly back then I'll never know!)
I go away in 10 weeks, so I'm aiming to get down to 14.10 and back to 13.7 by Christmas. And I totally agree, how amazing will I feel when I'm back down there! 😊
One of the the things that motivates me is watching tv and seeing people with bodies that I wish I had - if I'm craving something normally this is enough to distract me as that piece of cake or chocolate bar won't help me look like them.
Why don't you get this photo printed (lots) and stick it everywhere. On the fridge, on the cupboards and yes, even inside your glove box!! Anytime you're tempted to stray you'll be confonted by the you, you want to be! ..and hopefully you'll stay motivated enough to keep you on the path to getting back there. Just an idea x
Beautiful ,that look is here now and my daughter loves it,keep up the good work and its good to have pride in yourself,you are still that beautiful lady
