Why am I doing this?????

Well, I have finally decided to start a blog....

I guess the 1st thing I must tell you all is why I am doing this weight loss journey..I have always struggled with my weight - was a "chubby" child and "chubby" through high school. I did manage to lose a lot of weight in Year 11 and 12, simply by not eating!! (definitely wouldn't recommend that!!). I have always known that I have been big and have always had trouble finding "nice" clothes to wear - but nothing has really made me focused in losing the weight. I guess, I was never out of breath, could still do everyday things, etc...

The start of this year(2008) things changed...my mum became very ill - they didn't think she was going to make it. She is just 46!!! She has been an alcoholic for a VERY long time and her liver is failing. I have always been on my high horse and told her to stop drinking etc!!! Well, at the start of this year I was so cranky that she was about to die and leave behind 6 children and 6 grandchildren!!! That is when i had my "lightbulb" moment... I am also killing myself with food and I am only 26.Well...that was the start of my journey. I joined Weight Watchers on the 7th of Januray 2008 and I am now losinig all my weight, for me and for my amazing boys who deserve to have their mum here for a VERY long time!!!

This is my journey.......

Another week gone, another weigh in done. I lost 0.9kg last night. This is great as we were away in Canberra for 3 days. My goal was always to be 100kg for my birthday. This is still achievable for me (JUST!!). I have 2 more weigh ins before my birthday and I need to lose 2.8kg. This is a biggish ask - but i am going to stay focused this week and hope for the best!!!

Wow - to be under 100kg, that is going to be great!!! My BMI is going down every week, I am only obese now!! I started morbidly obese, so soon I will just be overweight!!!

Still loving my new meeting! The leader is very nice and actually gets to know us personally.

Hoping for a GREAT week -xxx-
