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, I am a 90's girl!!! YAY for me!!! This is an absolutely amazing feeling. I lost 1.3kg last night so I now weigh 99.0kg. Wow!! i seriously cannot stop smiling.

I know I said a VERY long time ago that I would never hit that 100kg mark (and obviously i did!!), this time I mean it when i say i will NEVER be 100kg again!!! My next mini goal is now to be 90kg, along the way i will actually weigh less than Damien!!! :-)

I must get Damien to take a full length photo of me one of these days soon!!

Yay, I am so proud of myself!!! I am actually starting to think like a "thin" person!! I get guilty when I have few too many lollies, etc. Not because I "think" I should be guilty, but because I truly know that they are providing nothing substantial for my precious body!!! LOL - listen to this "new Natasha", where did she come from???

My goal is to be 98kg at the end of May, if I have a good week this week I should definitely meet that goal.


I don't often feel "pretty" but I actually did this night!!! So of course I had a photo taken!!! I think you can actually tell I have lost weight. I now have a neck!!!
