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, weighed in last night. Lost 1.7kg!!! I am SO happy with that. I now have only 1.9kg to lose and then I have lost 20kg!!! Now - that is pretty impressive. I did well last week, ate my correct points and exercised most days, so I definately did deserve my loss.

I started a new meeting last night as my other one closed down. I actually really liked the leader - she was great. She made it very personal. I only knew one other person there from my old meeting, but everyone seemeed very friendly!

I am off to Canberra in 2 days -this is my first WW test. I think I am going to do alright. I am taking my own breakfasts and snacks - so I should be pretty good. Caught up with a girlfriend today that I haven't seen for a few months - she could really notice that I have lost some weight (she didn't know I was doing WW). I have actually inspired her to try harder as well. :-)
