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.......

Weighed in this morning, I have lost 500 grams. So I am now 102.3kg. I am almost back to the weight that I left WW at a few months ago!!! I was hoping for a bigger loss as I did exercise a fair bit this week, but it has also been a bit of a wake up call!!! I have stuck to my points, okish! - BUT i have snacked without writing down the points or even thinking about it really.

So, it shows me that I need to get right back to basics and track everything!!!

My mini goal was to be 98kg by the end of Feb. Not sure if that is going to happen, but I might get close. My next goal the is to be 90kg before Mother's Day. I really need to stay focused for that to happen.

I have been looking through other people's blogs from WW - some people have done an amazing job and look so much better and younger after losing the weight!
