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, it has been a while since I last posted!! I am now 33 weeks pregnant - definately our surprise baby!! It has bought Weight Watchers to a huge hault!! My plan was to still do WW whilst pregnant and eat healthy, etc,etc....

I am really disappointed in myself!! Somedays I have great days, but on the whole I haven't been treating my body or this new baby nearly as good as I should be!! I have eaten junk like anything - did very little exercise. It is the "old Natasha" back alright! Excuses after excuses!!!

For these last few weeks of the pregnancy i really want to be as good as I can be - back to tracking and taking this seriously! Taking life seriously! I had a little "life moment" the other day. It really affects me when healthy people die of cancer (Jane McGrath, Kerryn McCann). I realise that we can be taken at any time for no reason - nothing we can do to prevent it. So I am now determined to do EVERYTHING I need to do so that my life doesn't get taken from me from something that could have been prevented! I am looking after this precious body from now on!!

The "new Natasha" is here!

Being overweight is hard, losing weight is hard. Chose your hard!!!
