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 - we have just returned from 3 days away in Canberra. Had a great time. The weather was fabulous and Conrad had a blast playing with his cousins!! This was also my 1st weight watchers challenge. Just wanted to say that I THINK I have passed with flying colours!!! I ate pretty well. One the 1st night there we went to the club for dinner. Everyone was having deep fried stuff - pretty much the only thing on the menu. I had the sald bar, and literally only ate some salad, oh, and some fruit for dessert.

I even went the gym at the motel. I woke up at 6:00 both mornings and went to the gym. The "old Natasha" definately would not have done that!!! I had a quick peak at the scales tonight and they look promisinig - so hopefully on Monday I will have a good loss. -xxx-

Okay, here's the first of many comments.

That is frickin' awesome that you went to the gym while staying at the hotel!!! I am oh-so-proud of you. I can honestly say that I've thought of doing that, said that I'll do that, but never have done that.

YOU inspire me.
