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 back!!! I have had a little baby boy, just 2 weeks ago - Harris Campbell is perfect! So, now, no excuses!!! I have been doing WW for 1 week now. I am doing it online as firstly, I cannot really afford meeting, and secondly I really don't have the time for meetings. I have given myself 3 months online, and then I will reassess if I need the meetings.

I had a big loss this week. I lost 3.6kg - I am obviously very happy, but I know it wasn't all me. I have been pretty good this week, but a lot of that loss would have been fluids, etc from the pregnancy. I am definately taking the loss though!!

I have started walking the dog again of a morning time, that is really my only form of exercise for a while until I totally recover from the caeserean.

It is all about my 3 beautiful boys - I want to be a great mum!! A mum that is around for a very long time. I am determined to do it!!

Oh, wow! Congratulations on the newest little one! Hopefully, you'll have more pictures coming up. :)

(More congrats on the great loss for last week. You must be completely getting into gear.)

How are you finding the walking? I imagine it has to be a little taxing after a caesarean?
