ABOUT ME
written 15th June 2001
I like to eat anything savoury or sweet
cakes, chocolate or chinese goes down a treat
I haven't got a lot of will power within me
and I give up after two days or three
So I thought by going public for the whole world to see
would give me the incentive that I need
My current weight is 9 stone 7
oh, to be 7 stone 9 would be heaven
For me that weight would be right
for my 5 foot 1 height
I'm a 33 year old single mum
and being fat is stoping me from having fun
I live in Essex by the sea
with my 4 year old daughter who means everything to me
I've never been really really overweight
but 28 lb does not make me feel great
recently I have lost 7 lb
but it was difficult I found
When I was young I was a chubby
and never liked being a tubby
Though in my twentys I did look good
that was by eating the right food
But this is now and that was then
I had a 24 inch waist and was a size 10
Now my waist is a 28
I'm hoping for me it's not too late
I can't work due to back pain
so instead I get weight gain
5 years ago I had an operation
to remove the disc, a spinal fusion
I can't sit, stand or walk for too long
so too much exercise is wrong
This makes the weight loss very slow
it might take 6 months to go
I long to wear the clothes that I used to wear
at present I feel frumpy and sqaure
