This is my story
Hiya, my name is Jackie Campbell. I am 47 years old, mother of two grown up daughters and have been married for 27 years.
I live a busy life in the country. I work full time but manage to find time for my hobbies which are stitching and reading.
I have always been conscious of my weight. Even when I was a teenager I thought I was fat - I weighed between 9 and 10 stone.
I now weight over 15 stone and very unhappy.
I don't really eat unhealthily - but I must admit I hardly do any exercise!
My problem is motivation.
I have the ideal sinario - live in country, lots of fields, own two greyhounds, like walking when I feel like it. Enjoy gardening when I feel like it - enough said.
I did join a gym - just for ladies, but got fed up.
I have actually given up alcohol - which was one of the most difficult things I could have done as I was finding that I was getting dependant on it - so I must be a strong person .... though I cannot motivate myself to shift this extra weight.
I have even been to see a hypnotist - didn't work
Slimming clubs - don't work
Meditation and self help books - don't work
Skipping ropes - can't be bothered
etc. etc.
Found this web site today and bingo!
Hope this maybe the turning point for me.
It is now several months since I logged onto the web site and things have got worse! I visited my GP yesteday for a check up and found out that my cholestrol is sky high and also my blood pressure.
This is a 'waking up' call for me - I don't want a heart attack, I don't want a stroke .. so I've just given myself a 'kick up the backside' and I'm gonna give it another go!
