well - today was just amazing!!! At playgroup today, a lady that doesn't come very often came over to start chatting as if she didn't know me (I have met her a few times). Once she knew the boys names, she clicked and recognised me. She said I "look different" today - I didn't think too much of it. I just said I was tired!! She then came back a bit later - and said "I know what it is" - "have you lost a fair bit of weight". OMG - I cannot believe that she didn't recognise me at 1st because of my weight loss!!! Unbelieveable!!!
It only gets better!!! A little bit later another mum (who is just lovely!!) told me that i am looking amazing and wanted to know what my secret was!! She said she noticed a few weeks back that i had lost some weight but didn't want to say something in case she offended. She is also a larger lady and said that because I am looking so good, she is also going to start coming to Weight Watchers with me on a Monday. Can you believe it -I have inspired someone to lose weight!!! Honestly, I am just blown away!!!
I cannot stop smiling!!!!

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.......

What a fantastic day!! That is so great that the other mum's are noticing and even better that not only did you inspire someone to go on the journey, but she actually followed through.
I am so proud of you!
And, I have to agree with the mum's - you are looking absolutely fabulous. And I love the fact that you put up another photo with the same clothes on because it really shows how much you have changed and how much you have lost.
xoxo
