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.......

Monday, May 12, 2008

well - i am just gutted!!! I had a gain tonight, it was 100grams. I know that doesn't sound much but today is my birthday!!! I had my very first gain on my birthday! What makes it really hard is that I truly, honestly don't believe that I should have gained weight. I have stuck to my points and have exercised every day!!! I did 3 seperate workouts today - on my birthday!!!

Anyway - I have cried, now i just need to get over it! It is a brand new week and I am determined to get under that 100kg mark next week!!! This definitely isn't going to stop me achieving my goal - a little bump along the way and that is all!!!

I am so proud of you and how far you've already come.

Remember that it's a long, hard journey and every journey has twists, turns, hills, valleys, speed bumps and pot holes.

Just take it day by day. If you fall off that horse, jump straight back onto it...even if it tries to bite you. ;)

And use your fabulous photos to remember where you started and how far you've got. You're absolutely gorgeous and I'm here for you whenever you need me.

Once again, you've inspired me. I might actually do a blog to keep me on track to finally get rid of those last 10 kgs...

xoxo
