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.......

Great weigh in this morning. I have lost 1.1kg so i am now 87.8kg. I am super happy!!!

I am actually not really doing Weight Watchers anymore. I gave up meetings a few months back, wasn't inspired, leader was hopeles... Anyway I am basically just eating healthy and eating less. WW has taught me all about portion sizes so I am putting it all into practise without actually counting points. It is working so far. Don't get me wrong, I think WW is an awsome program...I just need a little break from counting points :-)

I have realised that I want be 80kg before Christmas, but if I was to under 85kg, I will be really happy. Going to get my hair done when I get to 85kg, so that will be a nice little reward.

I am a single mum for the week. Damien has taken about 60 year 6 kids away on camp - poor guy!! We will be fine at home, the kids keep me busy and it is actually an awesome TV week this week, so I am happy!

well, well, well. It has been a little while since I have blogged. Maybe 4 months???? Well in that time I have gained a few kilos. Now 89.2kg. Haven't been too bad, just haven't been focused.
Oh - this is a recent pic of me with my little man Harris!!!!
I guess I have lost sight of the big picture a little bit. I am now getting some good compliments, I am fitting into "normal" clothes and I am feeling SO much better. I think I have just became a little too complacent!


I am still obese!! I started out doing this journey so that I can have a long and happy life with my boys, SO I need to keep losing weight! :-) My ultimate goal is 65ish?? Not really sure - I think when I get closer, I will know.


I really wanted to be 80kg before Christmas, it is do-able???? JUST - MAYBE?? Anyway, I am going to give it a damn good shot!


Well, better be off. Swimming lessons soon, speech therapy soon, water aerobics soon, aaaahhh - Wednesdays are just crazy!!!
