A New Beginning

First posts on blogs are always a little awkward and this is going to be no different. I'll just start with what I want to achieve with this blog and what I aim to post for you lovely internet users who happen to stumble across my ramblings. I'm Hannah or "hlg" and this is my attempt and getting myself back to my skinny self without going down roads that could lead to either hospitalisation or starvation (I'll explain later..!) I am to post meal ideas, what I've eaten each day, my day to day life and hints and tips at weight loss. So first things first, why do I want to lose weight?

Well, I have Crohn's Disease (hence the hospitalisation mentioned earlier) so my weight fluctuates more than most peoples. I've been everything from 6 stone 7 lbs to 9 stone. Currently I am the latter. I don't like being this weight as I lose a lot of self confidence and don't feel great about myself. Being this weight takes me back to bad times in my life when I was bigger before and I don't like being reminded of these times. However I don't want to be back at the lightest I've ever been either. Although happy with my appearance when that small, I was extremely unwell and had no quality of life. My idea weight is 7 stone 7lbs so that is my aim. I aim to lose a stone and a half by Christmas (giving me just over two months to do - easy right?!). Once I achieve that weight, I will continue living a healthy lifestyle.

I've done all kind of things to lose weight, I've done the eating one meal a day for about a year (ending up in my again being very unwell) and I've done the healthy eating thing for about 5 weeks and ended up getting bored and craving fried chicken.

The idea of the blog is to almost prove to someone that I can do it. If I did this alone, I could fail and feel no shame. If I fail here, the whole internet can see my inability to stick to something - and no one wants that.

So here we go. These are my current stats at the time of starting this blog, I cannot wait to see them change in the near future.
