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.......

Well, today is my first day of blogging - something very new for me :-) I have been doing Weight Watchers for 14 weeks now -I am actualy so proud of myself. Proud for actually sticking to something, proud because I am trying and proud because it is working!!! I have lost 16.4kg so far. I know there is lots to go - but i have started my life to become a healthier and happier person.

I have stuck to my plan pretty well. I am definately doing more exercise than I ever imagined. I am also eating healthier. I am just so excitied firstly to get below 100kg, and then to get to 65kg.

So far, so good.......... -xx-
